Past one wk has been terrible...Been staying back late in office till like 9 plus 10 becos of the Demorama last thurs...my bosses wanted us to practise among ourselves n present infront of them so they cld choose the best presenter to represent the co. Demorama is a competition among all other channel resellers (sales division)....every channel reseller will send in their best speaker to compete n see who is the best presenter among all the sales pple....my co. is very small...we only have a total of 6 sales person including me...so not much choice to choose from...To cut things short...they decided to choose me becos of my showmanship...i do not have a very good product knowledge like my other colleagues...however they felt that this competition need someone with more showmanship n able to present the business solutions in a light hearted manner...Therefore all the pressure was on me cos i m not only representing myself but my other colleagues in the co. If i were to do a bad presentation it will reflect badly on my colleagues as well
To be honest with u...i never like the idea of representing my co. cos im not confident on the product knowledge...i can joke here n there but when comes to serious stuff abt the product itself i find tat im still not very smooth at putting across the ideas to pple...When we reach Fuji xerox towers on thurs noon...i was feeling very nervous la...i've never done a presentation infront of so many pple in an auditorium...worse still its infront of all my other sales competitors....wat will they think of me if they see me next time canvassing at raffles place...to make matter worse....they told me i was the 1st person to present....im like wtf??? 1st person to present...wah liao...i dun even noe other pple standards sia...wat if i go there n disgrace myself....Anway...i was trembling at the start of my presentation...i tried to break the ice by cracking small jokes at the start...at the same time it helps me to relax myself...i knew if i became nervous i confirm forget wat to say one...After my presentation i felt rather relieve n satisfied wif myself cos i knew i've done my best...i cld only keep my finger cross while my other competitors present their business solutions to the judges...we were all given 20 mins to present so the whole event took abt 3 hrs....Finally when they announce the results...i was hoping to get top 3...at least something rite...so when the judges announce tat i won 2nd i was quite happy but i knew 2nd was not good enough...for all the effort we put in together i felt tat coming in 2nd was a failure...however i felt the guy who won 1st rilly had a good product knowledge compared to me..After the event...one of the judges came up to me n said i have the potential to become even better n theres room for improvement...i thank her advise n comments n hopefully one day i can become better...i think this event has rilly taught me many things n im sure i will become a better speaker in future...For once i knew hows the feeling of doing a professional presentation infront of a crowd....i wld like to thank my co. and colleagues who has given me this chance to do this and the invaluable advise and moral support they have been giving me.
After the event we went for celebration at cafe cartel and later to Pines for drinks and ktv again...drank alot compared to the previous time at pines...however i didn't merlion there tat nite....R was ard to help me drink some otherwise im sure i will puke there again...After tat we left the place in different cab cos we didn't wan our colleagues or boss to suspect anything...Slept over at her place again n had to wake up earlier to go home n change for work....damn tired sia..
Fri nite celebrated zulu bday at zouk....his fren manage to reserve a table and we ordered many jugs n a flaming lambo to make him drunk....hahha...this is the 1st time i see zulu drunk!!! last yr his bday he drank one whole bottle of martel but still not seh....this time we rilly make him DIE ar!!!! lol~ Was rilly tired n wanted to leave early but becos its his bday i felt i shd stay till the end la...my heart isn't into clubbing anymore
This wk is has been a very lucky wk for me...no! more like God's favour is on me this wk...i've close 2 deals this wk....one was a SPANCO case whereby i sold one unit on the day itself while canvassing at suntec....the other one was a follow up visit n unknowingly their boss decided to upgrade the machine....My commission for this 2 cases is very high cos i quoted them at the very high price....hehe....this mth my salary is gonna be better than my 1st 2 mths pay which was rather pathetic....not forgetting i've got $300 CK tang vouchers for winning 2nd place and a plague from Fuji Xeorx....as the saying goes...u reap wat u sow...the more seeds u sow at the start....the harvest will be more at the end of it...
Gonna catch resident evil wif R later...hehe...so sayonara frenz~
