Chapter 234: Recruiting Sales Managers

Xu Yiyang did not let go of the advertising offer, which made these catering bosses very headache.

However, many people in the restaurant industry have chosen to compromise after seeing that the negotiation is hopeless.

In the afternoon, Xu Yiyang received several calls from people in the catering industry in a row.

This time, they are very simple, they don't bargain, they just hope that the ad can be launched as soon as possible.

The catering industry accepted the offer one after another, making Xu Yiyang guess that it should be Liu Changqing's old John's business that has improved, which makes his peers envious.

So, Xu Yiyang said to these people that if you want to advertise, you can sign up and leave the store information, store address and contact information, and he will send someone to investigate, and only those who pass the inspection can go on.

Moreover, Xu Yiyang also made a request.

All merchants who advertise on their own forums must give their forum netizens a certain discount.

At the very least, the netizens of the forum should be able to get tangible discounts when they mention the New Century Forum.

Merchants naturally have no opinion on this, and several companies in the catering industry have promised to give forum netizens a 88% discount.

In recent years, there has been relatively little online and offline information exchange, and normal customers of restaurants have no way of knowing the preferential activities of merchants at the New Century Forum, so they can also achieve no conflict.

Moreover, it is impossible for advertisements to be launched as soon as possible, Xu Yiyang now only opens the two advertising positions of the forum homepage banner and page scrolling, and only serves one merchant per day for the time being, so the advertising resources are limited, and all the back have to queue up.

However, Xu Yiyang still received the definite intention of eight catering industries, and each of them was purchased for more than three days.

This made Xu Yiyang start to think that the New Century Forum must have a formal operation team, otherwise, in the future, there will be more and more users, more and more posts, more and more advertisers, and more and more technology, support and sales work will be needed.

The technical work and support work can be handed over to Liu Mingchao to be responsible, anyway, their team has no new work now, Xu Yiyang plans to give them thousands of yuan per month, let them be fully responsible for the support of the entire forum, and then do some more functional development, and then increase the cost for them when there are more follow-up users.

Liu Mingchao naturally agreed to this.

Maintaining the website is actually not a very difficult job, as long as there is no problem with the website code, there is no problem with the server, normal maintenance, there is no need to keep an eye on it at all, there is a problem to find and deal with in time, and a few thousand yuan a month, in his opinion, it is equivalent to Xu Yiyang taking care of himself.

However, in terms of sales, Liu Mingchao can't be responsible for it.

They are full of big-footed men who can only write code in front of the computer, and even Liu Mingchao's own eloquence is very ordinary, and he doesn't know how to sell words, so he definitely can't hand over future advertising sales to him.

The responsibility of the sales team is not only to sell advertisements on the website, but also to sell various sponsor seats and advertisements for the 2nd CS Contest.

In the future, he even wants to do a vertical e-commerce, that is, to sell some products that are more suitable for college students on the website, but it is basically difficult to complete these by himself.

But the problem is that Xu Yiyang hardly knows any sales.

When he came to Zhonghai, he knew two salesmen, one was the sales of the Audi 4S store, and the other was the sales of Zhonghai Yujing.

Come to think of it, the saleswoman named Song Xiaoman in the Audi 4S store feels better, and he chatted with her a few words at the time, knowing that she is an undergraduate graduate from Zhonghai University, and she chose to sell cars because the automobile industry has just begun to sprout, so he wants to come in and find out.

Song Xiaoman, a girl, has a very good impression of Xu Yiyang, first of all, she is very professional, and she is also very attentive and conscientious to customers;

Such a salesperson is avoided by the boss who is out of the way, because he will not fool people.

However, Xu Yiyang just needed such a person, so he planned to call her and ask her about her recent situation.

Song Xiaoman didn't expect Xu Yiyang to call him, and he was surprised and surprised when he answered the phone.

When Xu Yiyang asked about her work situation, her mood dropped slightly, and she told Xu Yiyang that her recent sales performance has been at the bottom of the store, and she will be transferred to the post for after-sales reception next month.

The reason for the bottom performance is because the store now sells the new domestic Audi A6, and the new car is selling very hot, and the boss asks for a disguised price increase, that is, selling a bunch of cheap car supplies to consumers at a high price, such as a set of floor mats is thousands of dollars, and a set of film is 10,000 smaller.

Song Xiaoman talks about it every time according to the minimum requirements of the company's car, but the other sales methods are to talk as high as possible, because the additional part of the commission is very generous, so Song Xiaoman has become an outlier in the store.

The manager of the store was not very satisfied with her and felt that she did not think about the company, so he wanted to transfer her to the after-sales side to be responsible for receiving maintenance customers.

Song Xiaoman had no choice but to accept it.

When Xu Yiyang heard this, he asked her directly: "Are you interested in changing jobs?"

"Change jobs?" Song Xiaoman asked curiously, "What kind of job do you change?"

Xu Yiyang said: "I made a website, some advertising resources are sold externally, and a sales person is needed, and the configuration of the team is a sales manager, with two or three salesmen, and some product sales may be organized in the future, and this position is also responsible for it." ”

Song Xiaoman said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, have you started your own company?"

Xu Yiyang said: "Now it's just a website, and I haven't registered a company yet, but it's coming soon." ”

Song Xiaoman exclaimed: "It's amazing!"

Xu Yiyang asked her: "What do you think? Do you want to try? The probationary period is three months, I will give you a basic salary of 1,000 yuan, and a sales commission of 5/1000, at present, our advertisers are queuing, and the sales are stable at 300,000 or 400,000 yuan a month. ”

The commission of five thousandths does not seem to be high, but based on the fact that there is now a relatively stable basic market, Song Xiaoman basically does not need to take the initiative to find website advertisements and expand sales channels by himself in the early stage, so it is indeed not low.

If Song Xiaoman is willing to come over, he will earn a lot of money in a month just for website advertising.

What's more, I still have a big project of CS competition to attract investment.

According to Xu Yiyang's own plan, the total amount of investment in the second CS competition must be at least 500,000 yuan.

If it is done well, it is not impossible to have a million, after all, this competition covers all colleges and universities in Zhonghai, and the advertising effect must be very strong.

If Song Xiaoman is willing to come over, he will hand over the investment promotion of this project to her, and if she does well, she can get a commission of tens of thousands of yuan for an event.

Song Xiaoman was really moved after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask him: "Mr. Xu, I haven't been in contact with online sales, do you think I can do it?"

Xu Yiyang smiled: "I think you're fine, otherwise I wouldn't have called you." ”

Song Xiaoman thought about it and said, "Then I'm willing to give it a try!"

Song Xiaoman is also becoming more and more unhappy in the 4S store, and she has also thought about changing jobs, but she has not yet thought about what to change.

The position offered by Xu Yiyang sounds really good, and Song Xiaoman realizes that this is a very good opportunity, and he doesn't want to miss it in his heart.

Seeing that Song Xiaoman agreed, Xu Yiyang hurriedly said: "Then you can take time to come to China Overseas Chinese University, let's meet and talk." ”

"Okay!" Song Xiaoman said, "Then I'll go over tomorrow!"

......

The next day, Song Xiaoman came to China Overseas Chinese University to meet Xu Yiyang.

Xu Yiyang made an appointment with her to meet at a café at the school gate.

In the café, Xu Yiyang told Song Xiaoman about the forum and the next CS team competition, and also explained her future work to her in more detail.

When Song Xiaoman heard that the New Century Forum was actually done by Xu Yiyang, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

Xu Yiyang asked curiously: "You also play the New Century Forum?"

"Yes. Song Xiaoman nodded and said: "There are a few graduate students who pay attention to the CS competition, and then they pay attention to the New Century Forum, and they recommend me to go up and play if I have nothing to do, because they are all young people and there are many alumni, so it is quite interesting." ”

Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "That's great, even the cost of familiarization in the early stage is saved." ”

Song Xiaoman nodded again and again, she was very interested in this job, not only because the income of this job was relatively high, but also because Xu Yiyang made a very good impression of her, in addition, being able to get in touch with the Internet industry is much better in her opinion than doing sales in a 4S store, after all, you can learn new things.

Subsequently, Song Xiaoman asked him: "Mr. Xu, where is our office space?"

Xu Yiyang said: "For the time being, there is no office space for Internet cafes and websites, and you may have to be wronged in the early stage, and you can go out when you usually need to go out, and when you don't need to go out, you can work from home, mainly by telephone, and then give you a subsidy of 200 yuan per month for mobile phone bills." ”

After that, he added: "When the scale is a little bigger, I will give you two or three subordinate places, and then I will rent an office area nearby, and then you will have a fixed place of work." ”

Song Xiaoman nodded lightly and asked again, "Then when will I go to work?"

Xu Yiyang said: "At any time, you can take care of the affairs of the 4S store, and you can come to work at any time." ”

"Good. Song Xiaoman said: "Then I'll go to the store in the afternoon and talk to the manager about the resignation." ”

Xu Yiyang asked: "Do you think he will agree? If so, how long will it take to complete the resignation procedures?"

Song Xiaoman said: "I think he will definitely agree, because he is actually quite dissatisfied with me, as for when the procedures can be completed, I will try to fight with him as fast as possible, and try not to delay the work here." ”

Xu Yiyang nodded, agreed, and said, "Then you can do it first, and tell me when you're done." ”
