Supposed to complete this post yesterday, but I was extremely TIRED after stood for bloody 10++ hours and deserved nothing from that. Grr.
I never work unless I helped my mummy or relatives in their shops and I was paid which more than usual part-timer get. It means I could get salary and the amount was totally awesome. So, I worked on my first job for Pikom PC Fair at KL Convention Centre and the job was a promoter for Dell Inspiron Mini 9 with Maxis Broadband-ready. I worked with Wei Jiat, Ling Wei and her's friends. The based salary is RM70 per day and commissions would paid based on our sales. I was expected so much and I kept on dreaming about my excellent performance on the job before the day started to work. lmao.
However, things wouldn't going so smooth as what you imagine. Everything may screwed up due to your bad luck or some unspecified reasons. I could considered my first job experience was awful. It was sucks. As promoters, we need to promote to those customers who passed by the counters to attract them. Wei Jiat and I started to attract customers from 11a.m to 3p.m and we got no customer to purchase. You know what? Some of them just said they were not interested in this, some just ignored you, even worse some came to you and after your clear explanation about the promotion and details of the laptop then left away. WHAT DA HELL IS GOING ON HUH?! We got nothing after we put effort on this, even our efforts were not so much as others did. Hmm.
Thus, the laptop is really hard to promote or hard sell la. Less selling point if compared to other laptop. Okay I know the the tiny size of laptop and built-in modem are attractive enough for some customers. But the laptop internal hard disc space is just 8GB. 8GB?! Actually the size would become to around 3.9GB after the Window XP is installed inside the laptop. The promotion was mentioned that the first 100-customer who purchase the laptop would get a free external hard disc which is 160GB. Some of customers response that it would be very troublesome if need to plug in the external hard disk during outgoing period. I thought, is the laptop just for Internet surfing? LOL. Moreover, the price was influenced the sales too, in my opinion. Customers who are the first 200 to purchase the laptop might paid by monthly installments which is RM89 per month f0r 24 months. On the other hand, the price of the laptop with Maxis Broadband-ready is RM2136 and inclusive of 6 month Maxis Broadband subscription. Sounds so great huh. However, some of the customers told me that the actual price of laptop is RM1400++ which was the pricing they saw at the Dell's counter or somewhere else. The 2136 bucks is actually includes the 6 months of Maxis Broadband. They just asked why the price is different with Dell's counter la, why must buy the laptop with Maxis Broadband and bla bla bla. I just speechless when they threw such questions to me.
Few of those customers were just too free or bored and they would asked many questions and in the end, they kept crictise the services or coverage of the Maxis Broadband or they blame the customer services of Dell and so on. They were made me frustrated. My brain was almost exploded. Grr. I just wished I could kill them arghhh. If you were not interested to buy, then don't disturb us and just go away!!! Feel like want to kick their arses. More disgusted thing is there are some promoters screwed the customers that you hardly pull their attentions to attract them to buy the laptop. Hey come on. We put the efforts to attract customers, and gave briefing or explanation to them in 10-minute time, after you came and spoke some words only, the sales then turned to under your name and you gained commission from that. You are such BITCHES and FUCKERs you know!! *!@#$%^&*
Seriously, it was a tiring job for me. Need to stand for so many hours and you may get nothing if you are in bad luck. Just like me. Got no sales and boss was not satisfied with it. Almost whole of my body feel bad. My knees and legs still in pain condition until now. Feel exhausted some more. Deserve nothing from this. Dissatisfied with my first job experience. I swear, no more sales executive or promoter job for me again. NO MORE IN MY LIFE! Grr =( Labels: PC Fair, working experience
