Did an IT fair last fri to sun, selling LG's laptop and net-books. It was fairly ok since the commision i received was much much better than the last fair I did for lenovo which sucks like mad. Also, I managed to learn quite a few things and made some new friends.
Things I learnt:
1) Most China people does not know much about computers Some will talk to you and act as if they know everything but they don't, worst is when they pretend to know. Some will despise you for not being able to speak good Chinese to them and unable to convert words like 'processor' or 'ram' to them properly and find you a nuisance for that. Some are simple kia su idiots who wants to buy a laptops that has 15" screen, 6G Gb ram, great processor when the fact is they just needs it to surf the net, thinking the price is higher, and they have money, so they can buy.
I'm not saying that all China people sucks. Just some are seriously a pain in the ass when they just treats you like shit. When you try to explain to them, they thinks that you're stupid cause what you tell them is different from what they know.
There are some that are great whereby cause they don't know much about laptops, they try to understand from you as much as possible instead of acting they are some computer genius.
2) Sales = No toilet & grab customers Toilet caused me to lost 1 customers -.-
Some people don't know about commissions so you just got to grab the customers. Even if you served them first and they were to come back later, hunt them down, make sure when they buy it, you are there to put your name down.
The seriously damn irritating thing is there is one beng who is working also. Looks like Andy which I really hate. stupid beng, stole 2 of my customers away.
3) Know more about laptops Now I finally know more about laptops and about process, ram and stuff. Yes call me computer idiot and even if I know more, compared to you guys out there I still don't know much. Just that I know I do need a change in my own laptop.
Yup that's about it. This time made some new friends also. I mean its better than the lenovo one, where we do talk and exchange numbers and msn. Like qiu ting who is a newbie in sales, also from JC so we have things to talk about. Ian, day dreamer. LOL. Can't rmb my chinese name for 10sec.
Feels quite good after the IT fair though it is tiring and having a bad sore throat after it, talk a lot a lot. Hopefully will recover fast so can run soon.
