haiz... one of my staffs from Delifrance called me just now out of the blue... I thought wow... so nice to call me and catch up with me on old times meh? She said she is in the final year of her diploma and is now doing her final year project... and I thought ok I would be nice to help her in her project.. because I know how hard it is to survive through a final year project without help from others... especially when my final year project in university requires 3000 people to help complete a 5 page quetionaire.. first she didn't mention anything about the project like what she was doing, second she never mention what was the purpose of the project she was doing.. she asked about my family situation which is normal for any surveys... then she asked if I can arrange a meeting between her and my family in my house... ok that sounds funni...
i started to ask her what was her project and what she is supposed to do.. and she mention something about creating awareness about a product and finding out comments and feedbacks on it... Ok sound normal but I explained to her that my parents will surely not entertain her... then the more she talk around the bush trying to fix a appointment with my parents, the more irritated I am.. but never mind.. being the nice mdm and manager I am, I probe more and ask more helping her to explain better... of coz which include asking her straight what was her product because she never tell her anything about the product that she is doing a survey on from the very beginning.. then ok I managed to convince her that my parents will not talk to her on any issues beneficial or not...
so I volunteer to help her by talking to her more... then she went on to say since she cannot come to my place to talk more, why not I go to her seminar... OK THAT SOUND LIKE NETWORK MARKETING!!!!.. I asked her straight if she is in network marketing and she admitted it finally... ok I was pissed... sh lied to a nice person on a basis of her 3rd year final year project trying to lure and cheat me to another network marketing seminar.... WHY CAN'T THESE PPL HAVE MORE TRANSPARENCIES IN WHAT THEY DO... if u belong to a network marketing company and u need ppl to go to ur seminar.. SAY SO!!! If ppl are loyal believers of the product, if they are willing to go... they will go... dun try and cheat ppl to seminars when they dun want to be there in the first place..... and start trying to brain wash them about your company and products... and yah they will try and tell u that their company are not one of those bad network marketing scams.. and their products are beneficial to you and your family...
ARGHHH I SERIOUSLY HATE THESE PPL... really to the core... the next thing u know they try and sell u the products, they try to get u to help sell their products, and they will call u every now and then to BEG u to buy their products because they need to earn points to go on a incentive trip and stuffs... CHEATERS & LIERS... i told my staff off straight away in a nice manner of coz... ultimately ppl are just trying to get some experience and earn some quick bucks... you know what.. the government should step in and stop this kind of bad practices... why can't they just hire a proper sale person and do direct selling... rather than dragging ppl one by one to seminars with a underlying motive... with a promise of benefits andbig money...I do have frenz still working in some network marketing companies. but at least they respect me enough not to drag/invite/ask me out to some unknown places which end up to be a network marketing seminar.... they will ask or invite me to their product demonstration seminar or fair and it is up to me to choose if I want to attend it or not... not go there, get a shock of my life when 4 or 5 friendly ppl walk up to u offering a chit chat and then the brain washing and selling starts... and THE WORST THING IS U CAN'T WALK OUT AT UR WISHES no matter how many times u repeat to them U ARE NOT INTERESTED!!!!
pissed off... seriously....
my boss now who happen to be a very good salesperson always insists that a good sales person and company should respect the customer/users wishes... always sell your products accordingly to their needs... if they dun need it.. dun continue to push it to them because it will result in a sense of mistrust... and the next time they need things, they wun look for u anymore... so if someone say no.. there is seriously no need to push things further... it will just make the person pissed off... and always get things nice and clear about the products... be transparent.. let them know about the products,what are the uses of the products, what are the benefits to the person and let the person decide for himself if it will be useful and if he/she needs it and wants it.. this is respect.... and it contributes to a healthy relationship between the customers and the company... because if the person really need it, he/she will be more than willing and happy to use it...
so next time any of my frenz reading my blog, if u ever consider joining a network marketing company.. please take me out of your list of ppl to call for brainwashing.... thank you..
