3 days of hard labor finally pays off!! If you didn't know, I worked for this company, lets call it Company F, for the PC Fair 2009 in Penang. The brand I was selling was, unfortunately the infamous Acer......
After 3 days of hard selling, repeating the same phrases, answering countless questions, persuading and convincing people, I sold 21 laptops total! Not to mention I was the top seller of my brand in my booth! Not bad eh?! Out of the whole team of 15 I was the second highest though..
The whole selling part is pretty awesome. I got to meet all sorts of people, talk to them not just about the laptops, give them advices about other products & etc. Basically earning their favor enough to sell! Company F's promotions are frankly not good or worth it at all. Other shops sold the exact same laptops for cheaper price and more free gifts! Yet I would say about 40% of my customers came back to me based on preferability!! How cool is that?? I wouldn't blame the other 60% cause Company F's packages simply sucked.
I even had some customers that came back reporting to me what the other shop offers but yet they wanted someone they could trust, yes its very shocking. My total commission is approximately RM206.50.. Why 6.50? Its because Company F is so freaking Kiam Siap(stingy)!!! I had this customer who wouldn't buy a RM2300 laptop unless I throw in a laptop lock with it. So figuring that the lock is worth giving, and since the free gifts are so freaking cheap and limitless, I gave. The freaking lady boss caught me and freaking scolded me in front of the customer. I went fine, minus out my pay for that freaking RM3.50 lock. Anyway I've earned myself some valuable customers, and its still freaking RM10 off your head! *said my mind*
You know how freaking stupid and stupid Company F is? It was the last night of the fair, and our competitors reduced the price of their products therefore making a much better deal. My company was practically doomed and was stagnant in sells for more than 3 hours. Then this super loyal customer of mine came to me and said he'll buy from me though it wasn't a good deal. He said he had given first priority when he met me. Damn, He is so sweet and considerate!
Anyway the initial package I gave him came with a backpack. On the last day we didn't have that offer for Acer. So I asked the boss to give the backpack anyway in turn gain a customer. She freaking said if you want to give, then its out of your paycheck. WHAT THE FREAK?(quotation :p)
I answered so you rather want to save on your free gifts than earn a profit from a RM2k+ laptop? She said, go ahead la its your pay you're giving. STUPID STUPID STUPID!!! After that I told the customer he's better off buying from our competitors. He was like what!? and so I explained. He's pretty awesome, complimenting on my selling skills and character.. Hahaha seriously! Anyway it was really nice to meet Mr.Tham!!
So all in all, I would say I've earned approximately RM446.50 from that 3 days. Judging that Company F doesn't screw up my commissions or deduct any stupid hidden costs. And this is if they stick to what they've promised. I have both double commission and extra RM20 per day as stated. So, PAY UP.
I think I'm gonna end here, there's plenty more to say about my PC Fair experience.. It was awesomeee and worth going through to sum it all up. Now I just have to get paid.
sorry about the lack of any pictures and lengthy post..
