question: When is a good time to meet funny people in this industry?
answer: Now
The reason why i am posting all the encounters that i have is also that i can remember how i started out in this industry years down the road.
ok, story for today.
Some of you know that there is a Malay prospect that i met during canvassing at Raffles Place. Then the story continues that he told his wife he met me during his yoga presentation, which i didn't. I held my stand that i didn't meet his through yoga presentation and insisted that i met him through doing survey at Raffles place. Cut the story short, he insisted meeting me through yoga presentation. THE wife called me last week. Asked me about how i met her husband and why i want to meet him. I explained the whole situation to her. She accepted my explanation. However the husband called me the next day, scolded me upside down. I cried that night.
Today. Today the husband sms-ed me to meet me. I asked him regarding what. He replied financial planning. I actually didn't want to meet him one. The night i cried, i already let go of this prospect. But i was thinking, running for QC, grab all the chances i got. So, to keep myself safe (cos at the back of my mind, is that he could be angry with me for spoiling his plans of affair and wanted revenge), i asked Alan to come down to appointment with me.
When we met the malay guy, he came down with his wife too. So what the objective of this appointment, the wife said is to clarify things. Well, I am glad that WIFE is here, cos i really didn't want to face the wife's suspicious again. Anyway, had a hard time explaining the situation again. So what i did, is what Bernard taught BE HONEST. I just told her the whole scenario. It's up to her to believe. In the end, she believed me.
After the so-called clarification, we actually proceed with the financial planning. But due to the upsets with the WIFE-HUSBAND-ME complications, i didn't do my best at being a financial consultant. Guess, my mind is affected (EQ goes up, IQ comes down). My presentation is messy. Speak too fast, ideas all mixed up. Too pushy, and ignorant of Alan's kicking under the table. This is the worst presentation throughout this one month + one week.
What came out of this appointment : Needs identified, commitment to take a closer look.
Will call the WIFE in 2 days time, hopefully can get some closing from here..
Ok, why the story?
Cos, on the way home, i reflected upon myself, that since contracted, many many things had happened. Met different sort of people. Those only want to touch me. Those only want me for themselves. Got approached by Pakistanis. Sincere clients who are my advertising helper. Prospects who never turned up. Wife's problem. Obese Client. Old aged client. Mental problem client.
Make appointment for medical check-up for client, bringing client for check up.
Since contracted till now, cried thrice. Thoughts of giving up, many many time.
Guess the earlier i learn how to handle all these kind of different issues, the better i will be.
The tough gets going...
I will be the best.
Oh, and one more thing, I am having exam next week. 3 papers. Target for exams this time round : 2 A, 1 B.
I am going for first class honors. So far for 1.5years, results are ok for first class honors. I am going to maintain it.
Feeling down cos i don't have the luxury of time.
So, i need all the help i can get.
Those who pray, do include me in your prayers.
Jia you me on too, if you see tears in my eyes, tell me i need to be strong.
Thanks everyone, Love everyone!!!
You've only started work for like what, 4 or 5 weeks, and you've already met so many different types of hmmm intersting people. Like I always say, this is just a number game. Pure and simple. The more people you see, the more successful you will be in this line. And crying certainly doesn't mean you are weak. What's important is what you do after crying. Remember this, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.
ReplyDeleteTruly outstanding. You know it's funny.. I always hear from so many mega-producers and champions in this industry.. Like myself.. And in their sharing, they always have a lot of heart wrenching stories, out of the norm experiences. I guess that really defines who we are.. CHAMPIONS.
I'm very happy to see that you are progressing so fast.
As for being the best... You will have to get through me first. Let the games begin.
Young Lady ... Dunno what to say ... want to Reassure you , console you .. but afraid that might steer you away from your Destiny ... might make you weak ... might indirectly cause you to expect more of such scenarios ...
ReplyDeleteTruth is all these obese clients , horny clients , dunbfool clients etc etc you've encountered in this your first month ..and this is not an AVERAGE month in our line ... Because , and i don't know of any way to make this simpler ... so imma just say it ... it's your fault .
It's cause you've decided ... you don't want to be AVERAGE ... NOT anymore ...
It's expected cos when you're going for SooOOoOo Many appointments Daily !!! approaching sOOoOoO many strangers consistently!!!
The clowns , pervs , perps , Buangs you'll encounter will definitely be so much more than someone who works .. lets say 3 hours in our line ... or someone who's never hit any awards ... or someone who works solely on warm market for that matter .
But i thought it was a very intelligent move on your part , and i commend you for it . for Bringing Mr 10Chins down with you ... these days he's quite the force to be reckoned with .. havin 1 less major worry almost removed ...his studies .
As a witness , comrade and saviour ... i'd trust my life in his capable hands ANY day .
It was obvious from the start this clown waNTED to set you up . most people won't meet up already and that'll only prove the a$$4o73's story was true .
It was very daring , brave but a well calculated risk to meet them both ... you see then the planning was only a facade to get you out for another scolding but the FOCKIN coward didn't dare to do anything cos Alan was there .
There's no way in hell he can malign you further or out-talk Alan wan lor . As i'm sure you can see by now .
On the other hand .. if you hadn't asked Alan or anyone to go with you and you Kena a 2nd time from the **[ number 3 Bus ]... i will give you jia lat jia lat wan ... ask Alan and Wing ... i'm like that wan .
That being said ... Extremely proud of you ... That kind of situation still try to get case ...
hhahahahahaha !!!!!!!!!!!!
**number 1 bus = Bus 1st
number 2 bus = Bus 2nd
number 3 bus ley ? .... hee hee hee !!!!
Meeting these cases,what you need to do is to take a deep breathe and relax and calm down. With this, you will then be able to think properly but not emotionally. You have fallen into other people's trap of agitating you and if you lost your proper mind, they will be laughing when they found that you are crying becos of their bad deeds. Otherwise, you are doing fine! Jia You!!
ReplyDelete*pats* Don't have to cry over these people.. though I know they are not tears of sadness but of anger.
ReplyDeleteYou've met with a pretty helpless wife who is looking to you for comfort and advice. At this time of confusion for her, be there and I think it will be a win-win situation for both. ;)
But must say you have been very strong in dealing with cases of such!
All the best for ur papers! We're waiting for your THREE A's! Impossible is nothing, sis!
Let's jiayou together.. Mont Blanc challenge here we come! =DD
