LIFE : PART OF ART

Now, I really can feel that the pressure of doing sale specially when come to end month. This is my first sale target that given by my  lady boss. One million Ringgit, it sound like impossible to achieve but the reality is I almost there to hit my target. Saturday is supposed to be my off day but my dealer in Pengkalan Hulu keep on calling me by phone to update my sale figure. I still short another 15% to achieve 100%.  Today I had to drive to Baling to meet my supermarket buyer because  I need her help to give me some sale. Doing sale is a part of art and need a special talent how to convince and persuade because not everybody can do it. Needs a lot of planning and paperwork. I'm  in sale line almost fifteen years. In the fifteen years of my service with Nestle, lots thing that I gain from it through my experiences in handling the clients. As a professional Sale rep. my task is more to promote and sell the fast moving consumer products. The products that been used by most of housewife to prepare good foods.

LIFE : EITHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT?

Too busy to update my blog lately. Too much thinking of my daily sale target and too much worry about my target achievement.All these are main factors of contribution to stress and pressure. Now I can feel the work load until I can't  take my family for holiday as usual. Going for holiday is part of my family tradition and this tradition is continued by me,my brother and my two sisters. When I was a kid almost every years during school holidays, my father would took my family for holiday. My favorite place for holiday is Cameron Highland or genting Highland. Both cities have their own special with same common weather, cool.  Lately I can feel that I'm more concentrated toward my work. as I talked to my former boss Mr. Yang kok Ming. He said that "don't pressure your self and just do what ever you can do, don't think too much about the sale target because either you like it or not you still have to work".

LIFE : YOU NEED ME

After three weeks doing my own sales and now I'm realised that  I need to act fast before my competitors. My competitors are looking and staring at me every moment to know my next move. Time is crucial and every single ringgit is counted. Planning and implementation of planning is very important. The buyers are demanding specially when they know that I'm desperately need sales to achieve my target. I was told by the Seniors never ever show that you need sales desperately in front of buyer because they will squeeze you for better deal. Relax, cool and thinks how I'm going to use my skills to manipulate the sales by showing that the buyer needs me to achieve their target. Even though it's not going too easy but it's only a matter of how confidently I talk to convince the buyer, you are the one who needs me. In other words my goods your money. I offer you my service and goods that you needs, in return the buyers have to order some goods to achive my sales target. Win win situation..............................

LIFE : LIFE UNPREDICTABLE

Sometime we worry too much about tomorrow, actually can we guarantee that there will be tomorrow for us? As a human we just can hope that there will be tomorrow to continue our life. It may sound a negative but that is the fact of life that we have to face it. If we are given  a life tomorrow by Almighty God, can we guarantee that tomorrow will be much better from  today? Nobody can guarantee that because life is something unpredictable. Today you may in a good health but it can be a sick tomorrow. Tomorrow you may think that you still have a job but when you go to the office suddenly you are been fired. It's happen in front of my own eye. Base on my true story 20 years ago, one day  I met a man sitting alone outside the Surau Jalan Mohd Saad after the Asar Shalat. I just said hello to the man but he looked so quiet and I sat beside him, since I never saw him before and asked him whether he was staying in this area. He just replied yes and started to talk with me. We talked about life and I felt  like I was knowing him for a long time. After a few minute  talking with him and  told him that I need to go home because I have work to do. I told him thanks and hope to meet again.

As usual after the Maghrib Shalat I went to my sister restaurant. My sister restaurant was located opposite the Butterwort Hospital so I could see people walked in and out of the hospital. Then I saw a lot of people were waiting outside the emergency room. I was surprise to see my neighbour was there. I walked toward him and asked him what happen? He told me that one of our resident was passed away on his way to the mosque. He was knocked down by a car. I rush to the emergency room and I got shock to see that the dead body who was laying on the the bed was the man who I met  last asar.........Innalillah wa innailaiirajiuun.....from Him we came to Him shall we return. May Allah bless his soul and put him among the Solehin.

LIFE: REAL LIFE

These few days I have to stand on my own feet in selling activities. I have to face the real situation of buyer character. Keep on receiving a phone call even though at night or almost midnite. I have to face the dealer, buyer and merchandisers. Organise and need a good planning in terms of work wise. Quick to respond a buyer need and quick in every things to grap whatever premium stock to sanctified my buyer need. Now I am living in a real, real rat race world.
