Promotion = RM 5 voucher for RM 50 item n above in single receipt till 6 June.
As a first-timer in promoting, I can tell you that there’s so much of a difference in student life compare to promoter. Even students working as promoter, they can hardly challenge those promoters who are counting their special skills and abilities for leaving. They have great desire in getting sales which eventually being turned into income and were highly motivated to gain people’s trust. It’s not easy to be that kind of people and I am quite sure they can be really rich. Cantonese proverbs also have this saying, ‘dead fish also can be turned alive’!
One of Xando's product, Block & Burn...
The world is so competitive where everyone’s competing to get the most sales. Sad to say, slimming products aren’t so sellable in today’s market. Lots of people are aware of the side-effects of taking slimming pills. I would say they are also able to use their money very, very wisely. Every single penny counts. After those 3 particular days, I only managed to sell 4 boxes of slimming coffee, not even 1 of those slimming pills. Surprisingly, my sales are ‘considered better’ than the ones in 1 Utama and other hypermarkets; except that I still lose out to my dear cousin; Sue Ann who I should say has a great sales ability. She was located at Midvalley for the particular weekends. Aiseh! Haha!
Fatigue is the number 1 problems that I faced for the past 3 days. 8 hours of promoting and partly standing has dealt tremendous pain to my sore legs. How could you people work for long-term? Maybe it’s my first time and I haven’t got used to it? Legs also have blisters and etc. So strained and pain greatly felt on my legs after work on my way back to my aunt’s place in Kepong by LRT and KTM. Well, I would say it can be bored at times, if it’s not for some of the nearby ‘aunties’ there to speak to me and share their valuable experience as promoter. Some of them actually gave me ‘warnings’ about being competitive to their products. Gosh! Too bad they felt on the deaf ears. =P
Ironically, Guardian had this policy of not letting promoter to make or giving out free drinks to the customers. If not, I can at least spend the time doing something more useful and meaningful which will lead to an increase of sales. I didn’t really manage to talk to most of the people there as my supervisor had already mentioned that in any time, he/she will come and check on us. Too bad, all that I could remembered of besides the 'aunties' are ‘Palmolive’ and the jovial Kerry. Anyway, till now I am still having a bit of S-mode. That’s part of my barriers. From these working experiences, I realized quite a number of things about myself that I must change for the better. Well, humans aren’t perfect rite? So am I. I am still on the path of learning till my death. Till fate meet us some other time! =)
Worth it or not? There’s extra pocket money from this job. Frankly, I use most of it for my leather shoes and some other personal products. Haha. There goes my salary. From this, I also strongly believe that getting a shoe for yourself must be really comfortable no matter how expensive it will cost u. Ur legs will affect the whole body; including back pain and sore legs. That’s why; my advice is never save your money too much in getting a pair of shoes. Buy a quality one because you will never regret later on. Trust me! As for being a part-time promoter in the near future, will I take on the job? Well, I would surely work if the basic salary is real good but at the moment, I greatly need a rest and concentrate on my coming final papers; Principles of Management and Engineering Economics. I seriously wouldn’t want to work as a promoter for full-time as a permanent job. That’s really a difficult life. This is where education plays the role of changing people’s life. There goes my first working experience, in KLCC Guardian. It shall always be remained in my memory. All the best!
