A sales story today

Went to have char kuey teow with mum and dad just now and somehow saw an interesting scene in front of me....

I was eating my char kuey teow and suddenly i heard a gal talking loudly to an indian. Well, she is a chinese gal, who bring some stuffs to walk around and to sell around. She went to an indian guy who was eating with his fren and start to promote her stuffs. I didn't notice at first, until she suddenly keep repeating the same sentence very loudly saying tat "tak ada sample dah, ini saya baru buka punya......tengok, baru buka, tak ada sample dah....... " I guess, she was promoting a shaver to the indian guy and then he was asking for sample and she actually showed a sample which she open from the packet, but dunno wat happen, the indian guys stil wan to see more sample or wat.... i am not sure. Anyway, after some time, the guy finally buy some shaver from her. Then, i can see that she thanks that guy very politely as she keep on repeat "terima kasih abang, terima kasih ah" and at the same time, she put her stuffs on a table and arranging them.

Well, i thought the story ends and i can finally enjoyed my meal peacefully......and suddenly, i heard a voice again, saying "abang, nak beli stokin tak ? ada tebal punya, ada nipis punya.... kalau beli dua saya discount satu ringgit la " ........ That's wat happen after she arranged her stuffs and bring up some socks to show to the guy again. I din bother much wat's their conversation but at first that guy didn't wan to buy it and after some time, i see the guy went to the counter to pay his bill to change some small notes and then give the notes to that gal and deal, she got another business again. And again, she thanks him many times very politely. Wow~~ should i say that the gal really a potential sales girl or the man is too kind? Not to discriminate anything here, just that from my daily life, i seldom see sales person who come around the coffee shop to sell things can have their business done. Normally people wouldn't want to bother them also.

Okay, good day for the girl today as she sold two types of item to a guy. I continued to eat my char keuy teow happily as this time, the girl really keep all her stuffs in her beg properly and seems like she has no more items to sell anymore. After a while...........

"Abang, u ada dengar diamond water tak .............." and wat i see next is there is a brochure on her hand, showing to the same guy, and this time she is gonna promote diamond water to the guy........ My mum, my dad and me, three of us looking at each other with smiles, as we feel the situation is funny because their business never ends, come one and other. Haha....... is this a very good way to sell things? i have not much comment since everyone has their own ways, but i would really respect that girl's determination to keep on continue promoting her staffs one after another and she really promote one by one, after every cash deal and not once for all. I wonder whats the man's thinking at that moment, haha ......

Anyway, at last the man didn't wan to buy any of the diamond water product from her, and this time, she really bring her beg along and walk away.

Hard time is everywhere now and everyone is trying so hard to earn money, just like the girl just now, she really has a strong determination and she also spotted the right and potential customer to promote her things, otherwise there wont be business done one after another by her. Although her way was quite "interesting" to people around like us as our heart was thinking "her product come one after another, never ends and keep on promoting .... ", somehow she has proven that she still able to make two successful business from the same person. From my daily life, sales person like this really hard to get business done as normally people wouldn't want to bother them at all and their stuffs were things that we can even buy it in the supermarket. Especially can see a lot of foreigners bring around watches, pens, drawings etc .... i wonder how much they earn a day?

However, everyone is trying their way to earn money, that's why, as long as they are doing the right and legal things, we stil need to respect them and their jobs..... so leeleegurl, u also need to work hard and to get a job soon soon soon soon !!!
