Sales Is Tough As Egg

Okie, I dunno how many times you'll hear me telling you this, but yeah, sales is definitely tough as shite. And believe me I can harp on this sordid fact till the cows come home.

I've been busting my ass for the last 3 weeks since I was finally thrown onto ground zero to walk my talk. Everything they said about this job is true and more. I hardly knock off before 9pm and if I do its because I've got training elsewhere. My poor calves shoulders and thighs have hardly seen the sun all week man. Then everyday gotta worry about hitting my targets and closing whatever sales we can close.

Last weekend I had my first day off(sunday) and before that I realised that I had worked 13 consecutive days. Wah seh.

K lah enough of demoralizing shite. I mean I did choose this path afterall so who am I to complain?

If there's any good side to it all its that I'm not regretting my decision to jump on the sales wagon...yet. The money's not too bad either. I get lotsa freebies. And I save alot of money because I've got no time to do anything else.

My branch manager is also really a chump. Somewhat encouraging(in a weird masochistic way), and even helps out wherever he can, notably at point of closure of sales. And a really good and effective coach too I gotta say. So wheh he ask me to stay back to teleconsult I really can't refuse. Afterall if I hit threshold this month its 'cause of all his help, encouragement and coaching lah...and I'm almost there liaoz...

Haiz.

Last weekend was a great weekend spent with the girlfriend. Been neglecting her quite alot due to work constraints, and we sure as hell spent it like we were making up for all that absence! Hehe. We watched a movie, went for an early morning jog(8am), breakfast at siglap, k-lunch, played pool, the works...

Oh yeah, and watched Flight Plan. Its...erm...okie lah. Its not lousy enough for me to tell you not to watch it, and yet its not good enough to warrant a really strong recommendation to cath it either. So you go decide whether you wanna catch it or not. But I know everyone wants to find out what really happened to Jodie Foster's daughter because the trailer was what enticed me to catch the show too(okie so the gf wanted to watch it also), but I shan't spoil it for those of you who wanna catch it. If you really wanna know and don't wanna waste $19 on a good weekend, then ask me lor. Haha.

Hopefully will have at least the next few sundays off. Anyone wanna catch me in action on any given sunday can just drop by the branch at Orchard @ Somerset.

Bleahz.

Luck is when Opportunity meets Preparation.

Stressed

Haiz...

Life as a salesman is indeed tough. Maybe even tougher than I thought.

Hardly any time for my other things.

Always rushing like mad.

And I've got absolutely no life.

And things might actually get worse...

*sigh*

My New Handphone

My New Handphone 

Happy.

Just bought my business phone. Its the latest Sony Ericsson K300i! For all my business needs and usage. Cheap too!

Got camera, video recording, addictive java games, music dj, scheduler, and lotsa other rubbish. All for $38. Wah.

Training's in its final week. Next week onwards its gonna be slogging for sales liaoz. Haiz. Anybody got anything that they need insurance, investment or home loans or what from my place just gimme a buzz hor. Hehe.

Erm. Oh yah, if you're wondering what's my biz number, its 3907 X 17 X 81 X 18.

Ha.

Watched Corpse Bride over the weekend. Wah lao, its helluva good siah(pardon pun). Really niiiiiiiiiiiccccccccceeeeeeeee!!!! I would recommend it to the whole wide world but everyone will just doubt me. Humph. Sure its a tad predictable, but everything else's so good there's nothing(hardly any) not to like about it! Haha. If you liked Nightmare Before Christmas and anything Jim Henson then this show is so super for you lor!! *gush gush*

Oh yah and brudder Redtail, we really gotta get together some time(where we dun have to force each other to drink so much alcohol or dance so much) to exercise or something. I think I have a belly liaoz. Big one. Dun pray pray.

Alumni soccer would be a terrrific idea. But who else would be onz?
