Business Acumen
April 8, 2008 – 7:50 pmSelling a very tricky and sensitive job to be in! However, since my sales are all conducted online, even if I am unhappy or pissed off with my customers, nobody will know.
The other day, when I was shopping for a laptop, I went to this computer store in the city and told the proprietor that I am looking for a laptop with a 12in screen.
And you know what he said? “Very expensive ge wor” and looked at me one kind, as if I could not afford it. Heck, if you are in sales, when people ask you if you have a certain product, just let her know if you have it or not and not tell her that it is “very expensive, can you afford it?”
This guy finally recommended me a pink colour MSI laptop that he was selling at MYR2899. Turns out that that was the only laptop he was stocking that has a 12in screen. And he kept telling me that I should get it because it is pink in colour and that all girls love pink.
Hell, I may love pink but what I am interested in is the specification. Not the colour. I could always skin my laptop if I do not like its original colour, right?
