Work work...

Being working for the past 4 days at the PC Show 2006 at Suntec as a promoter for Viewsonic. Because of this, I even have to miss my CAC FOC seniors camp. However, it has really been quite an experience. In case you dunno what Viewsonic is about, it is actually a very popular brand for LCD monitors. If you haven't heard about it, it probably means you haven't been visiting Sim Lim Square.

This is the first time I'm working as a promotor, and selling LCD monitors. I have to admit, before this, I know nuts about monitors...haha. Wonder how I can still convince ppl to buy from me. It is a very tiring job, having to stand from 11 to around 9 for the past 4 days and to persuade customers to buy from you. What to do... commission based lei, need to talk more if you want to earn more. I've practically lost my voice for competing with the speakers from Nokia and JVC booth.

Overall, I'm still a happy man, managed to earn close to $600 for the show and even earn myself a 512 megabyte thumbdrive for selling more than 30 monitors on the last day as an incentive from my boss. I even made a few friends, fellow promoters and customers. The smile and big thank you from the customers whenever I close a sell always makes me happy. It gives you a sense of satisfaction and wanting to sell more and help more ppl. I still remember one of my customers telling me that I'm a very good salesmen by being able to convince him within 3 minutes and when he dun even feel like getting a LCD monitor for himself in the first place. Hehe, in the end, he bought 2 from me. Interesting man, interesting job.

It seems this boy bathed in ridicule. Too forward, way too physical. It's time that I had another. I'm always wanting more, if there's another one Give me some more, I'll have another one... (quoted from the song This boy by Franz Ferdinand)
