Hi guys , I'm back.. Finally finished the IT Fair after 4 long working days.. Basically , My job was to stand there and persuade the customers to buy from mi so that I can get more commission.. Sounds kind of fun.. I was told by my manager that I will get to meet all sorts of customers and damn , He's right.. I met people I've never met before , some kind , some evil.. Yea , I used evil cause they were trying to cheat mi to sell them cheap.. But I'm not stupid , I did all my homework and research already..
There was this man who was really kind and generous :
Ailerone : Hi sir , How can I help you?
Man : Hi there , I'm looking for something light , something below 2kg.. Do you have something like that in your display? You mind showing mi?
Ailerone : May I know what's your Budget around?
Man : Nah , No budget.. Just show mi all those Laptops below 2kg , I'll buy If I like it..
Ailerone : Ok then , Over here sir.. This is the one.. 14.1 Inches , weighing 1.7kg with batteries.. The specifications are here , have a look sir..
Man : Hmm , How much is this model?
Ailerone : It's $2,688.. And there is a free upgrade to 3Gb Ram..
Man : Oh is it? Ok then.. I'll take this..
Ailerone : Huh? You buying this model now?
Man : Ya , I'll be paying by Nets.. Is that ok?
Ailerone : Er ok.. Sir , This way then..
The whole conversation was less than 5 minutes.. How I wished all my customers were like that..
And there's this Lady , Typical Singaporean :
Ailerone : Hi Miss , Looking for laptops?
Lady : Ya , Do you have the S6510CVB in your display? I heard it's quite light , How light is it?
Ailerone : It's 1.7kg with batteries.. There , that's the one.. I'll bring you over to see..
( Walk walk walk to the Laptop )
Lady : Wow , Pretty light.. How big is the screen?
Ailerone : It's 14.1 Inches.. This model is mainly for People who are always travelling around.. It's more for people to do presentations , that's why the specifications are not that high..
Lady : Hmm , I'll be travelling around quite often , so I'll need something that's light and easy to use.. This seems like a good choice.. What's the best price you can give mi for this model?
Ailerone : Hmm , The current price is $2,688 for this model.. And this model is only available at the IT Fair , you can't find it outside in the market.. Give mi a minute Miss , I'll consult my manager first..
( Walk walk walk to the counter to ask about the price )
Ailerone : Leong , What's the best price for S6510CVB?
Leong ( Manager ) : Erm , Give her $2,550 without any other free gifts..
Ailerone : Ok , Roger that..
( Walk walk walk back to the customer )
Ailerone : Ok , I've asked my Manager.. He said $2,550 is the best price..
Lady : Ok , What freebies can you throw in for mi?
Ailerone : Erm , The price $2,550 is the best price I can get for you without freebies.. And there is also a free upgrade to 3Gb Ram already..
Lady : Does this come with Microsoft Office installed inside?
Ailerone : It only comes with a 60 days trial..
Lady : I don't want the trial , Can you slash the price some more?
Ailerone : Nope , the software is already installed inside..
Lady : But I don't want the trial , It's only for 60 days.. You mean I have to monitor it everyday to see how many days left? How can I get the full licensed version?
Ailerone : You have to pay $180 more to get the full version..
Lady : That's like not giving mi any freebies.. How about you give mi a free Thumb drive and I'll buy it from you now..
Ailerone : Nope , The price is already very low.. You can compare with other booth also.. Some more this model is a limited stock model.. Only available at the IT Fair..
Lady : Today is the last day already , Hp and Sony is selling at $999.. And you're still $2k plus.. How do you expect people to buy from you? Ok la.. Either you give mi the Microsoft office or the 4Gb Thumb drive for free at $2,550 and I'll buy it straight from you..
Ailerone : No way , If you think Hp and Sony is cheap then you go get from them.. Fujitsu is not dropping price.. And my price is fixed already for this model.. No way I'm giving in anymore Freebies.. It's either take it or leave it.. Anyway , We only have the last set for this model.. There are people queueing for this model if you don't want it.. If you wan go for cheap stuff , please go to Hp or Sony.. Don't waste my time..
Lady : Last set ar? Ok la.. I'll buy straight from you if it's $2,550 and with a free 4Gb Thumb drive.. I'll pay by Nets..
Ailerone : Wait , I said $2,550 is without the Thumb drive..
Lady : Can la , The Thumb drive is very cheap only.. Throw in as free gift la..
Ailerone : If you think it's cheap then you can get from outside..
Lady : Other shops are offering free Thumb drives and Microsoft Office for free.. Don't you want to earn my money?
Ailerone : Erm , Like I said.. If you don't want to buy , there will be others waiting for this model.. It's either you take my last offer or leave it.. You want free Thumb drive buy from Hp , You want free Microsoft Office buy from Toshiba.. Fujitsu is expensive because of our quality..
Lady : Today is the last day already , Why can't you all just throw in some more freebies? Ask your boss over.. I want to talk to him..
Ailerone : Sorry my boss isn't free.. ( Actually he's standing there looking at girls ) Anyway , I have other customers to attend to.. So please feel free to look around yourself..
Lady : What kind of service is this? Ok , What's your final offer?
Ailerone : What? No final offer.. I'm going to attend customers already..
Lady : $2,550 with Thumb drive?
Ailerone : No.. * Taking a step back *
Lady : It's last day already..
Ailerone : No.. * Taking 2 steps back *
Lady : Ok , How about $2,500 without the Thumb drive?
Ailerone : No.. * Backing off really fast *
Lady : You're wasting my time like this.. So tell mi your final offer.. Is it $2,550 with the Thumb drive or $2,500 without the Thumb drive?
Ailerone : Either way also no.. Sorry I need to go attend other customers already..
Lady : ...
She wasted 15 minutes of my time talking to her.. Typical Singaporeans , Only wan freebies.. There are also other kinds of Singaporeans' behaviour.. My means of transport for work is by the MRT , So I will see all kinds of people.. I will see old people without seats everyday without fail.. People with seats are either look or elsewhere or acting asleep.. It's only once in a while that I will see people giving up their seats for the old people or Pregnant women.. The IT Fair is also a place where people will show that bad nature.. People are always pushing around as it is very crowded.. They don't really spare a thought for others.. They'll push anyone out of their way so that they can get to the destination faster , they didn't even cared even if it's an elderly.. I witness this kind of behaviour everyday.. But Life is like that , I can't change anything about it.. The only thing I can do is come my blog and rant about everything I like and hoping that I will feel better.. I've earned around 300-400 for this past 4 days.. Although it's easy money but you have to be really patient for everything.. Take yesterday for example , I got scolded for 4 hrs just because of an miscommunication.. I don't really want to talk about it so let's just leave it..
Luckily I have Sharon my dearest to cheer mi up yesterday.. And not forgetting the Buddies I made during the IT Fair.. Zephanie with her cheerful personality who always makes mi laugh with her stupid actions.. I Yeu my best buddy , who gave mi one of his sales when My sales wasn't good.. Eileen the motivator , who always pushes mi on for more sales.. Justin the Old man , who always tell us lame jokes.. Selena the pretty pretty girl , Thanks for attracting tiko pek to our booth so that we have more sales.. Jun wu the forever smiling guy , Hey you brightened up every body's day.. Kevin the ABC , who attracted the attention of the many girls around us.. And Kevin's ABC friend , Sorry I forgot your name But I'll remember you too.. And Leong my Manager , who taught mi alot of tactics and treated us lunch and dinner daily.. Thanks you guys for letting mi have such a wonderful experience working.. It was fun working with you all , I hope we can still keep in contact..
