it was really an experience selling laptop at commex 2006. i knew nuts about computers. it seems like a 4-day crash course on computer parts and capabilities... plus laptops. really updated myself on the technology a lot. besides learning all the technical stuff, i got to know tt it is possible to bargain off the prices on the brochure from every vendor! i was so naive and thought that wat's on the brochure was the best deal... my balls. next time i need some gadget, i'll squeeze my way through to the lowest price and most freebies i can get... muahahahaha! it's a wonder to see how singaporeans queue up before the exhibition is opened to public and how they literally run into the exhibition hall upon the opening of the doors! i really dun expect such things to actually happened... stunned.

it's a sales thingy. it's a war. every vendor is competing for lowest bargains to attract customers. so after talking a lot to one customer, the chances of them buying from another booth is very high. so more selling up doesn't mean more sales. i met my best and worst customer on the last night. 2 men, neither chinese nor malay, wanted the cheapest laptop, which is of course the lowest end, along with many many free gifts. they were juz trying their luck. i was really pissed off with them, if it's not for their money, i'd haf not even sell them the laptop. i told them to get from some where else if they want a lower price. they still wun go and tried to bargain... balls to them! and of course the best one was my last sales. an auntie who came back after bargaining wif me in the afternoon. it's really satisfying to see a customer coming back to you after saying that they'll returned. it juz feels good closing the sales with them.

last thing i found out. i juz haf no courege to approach gers when i'm not drunk. there were this 2 sales gers selling casio exilim camera juz opposite our booth. thought i can approach either one of them on the last day... but i juz go no courage lah... haha. but on the 3rd nite, one of them ask aze to take a photo wif them... hahaha. the rest of us juz looked stunned... nvm the time will come for me to noe more gers... wait wait wait...

it's a great time working wif frenz, knowing new frenz, and meeting old frenz... another roadshow next mth? muahahahaha!
