Chapter 08 What a Waste! The Embarrassment of the First Day at Work
Zhang Dequan wandered the streets for a few hours. He felt that the time before going to work should be about the same. Because Zhang Dequan did not have a mobile phone or a watch, he did not know the specific time.
When he arrived at the place where he went to work, Mo Mingsheng still felt a little surprised. Because when Zhang Dequan went, there were still more than two hours before the official work time. Mo Mingsheng was surprised, and it was reasonable that he himself usually wouldn't have been more than half an hour at most if he arrived early.
"Why did you come so early?" Mo Mingsheng's enthusiasm for work was quite surprising to Mo Mingsheng, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Regarding Mo Mingsheng's question, Zhang Dequan just smiled and did not say the specific reason, after all, there is no need to tell others about his own disgraceful things.
"Have you eaten, I haven't eaten yet. You watch the business first, I'll go have lunch. If someone comes to buy something, you introduce our products and try to convince customers to buy our products. After Mo Mingsheng finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Dequan didn't say anything, so he went out to eat.
"By the way, you can come with me too! I'll take you to our place to eat and get acquainted with the environment. Otherwise, you won't know where to go for dinner. Mo Mingsheng, who had already walked out, suddenly turned back and said to Zhang Dequan, let him familiarize himself with the location of the fast food restaurants they often go to and eat nearby.
For Mo Mingsheng's enthusiastic care, Zhang Dequan is quite satisfied with his personality. Then, Zhang Dequan came to the outside of the mall with Mo Mingsheng and walked towards the fast food restaurant that Mo Mingsheng said.
"In front of that, there is the fast food restaurant where we often come to eat, and many of our colleagues in the mall eat here. When he was about to arrive at the fast food restaurant, Mo Mingsheng pointed to the fast food restaurant sign in front of him and said.
"Now that I know, I'll go back first. After Zhang Dequan saw the fast-food restaurant sign, he planned to go back to the mall.
"Okay, then you can go back first. After Mo Mingsheng finished speaking, he went to eat.
Indeed, this fast food restaurant is quite difficult to find, because the fast food restaurant is taking the route of small profits and quick turnover, so the location of the store is not very good, compared with the high-end restaurants next to it, it is even a little inconspicuous. Because it's so remote, you're not a nearby worker, there's no one to take you, and you can't know it's there.
When Zhang Dequan returned to the store, he found that a customer was looking at their company's home appliances, so he bravely walked up and introduced his products to the customer. He didn't know what the reason was at the time, but after listening to his introduction, the customer went straight to buy the products of other companies.
This made Zhang Dequan very depressed. The reason for his depression is not that he has no confidence in himself, but that he doesn't know what he hasn't done well.
After Mo Mingsheng came back, he told Mo Mingsheng about it. When you encounter a situation where customers don't buy your products, you have to go, for the long-tested Mo Mingsheng, your customers were snatched away by others, or customers saw you and went to buy other people's products, these are all very normal things. But for Zhang Dequan, there is a sense of failure.
Soon it was past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and Mo Mingsheng should also get off work.
"Zhang Dequan, I'm leaving after work, you do it well, in the first few days, I didn't sell much, it's okay. I'll let you get used to it for a few days, and slowly you'll get past the beginning of this period, and then you'll be fine. Seeing Zhang Dequan's first arrival, Mo Mingsheng enlightened Zhang Dequan empathically.
Mo Ming was afraid that Zhang Dequan had just arrived, and he would have no work experience and what ideological baggage he would have, so he gave a few words of advice by the way.
"Let's go outside and sit down, and I'll give you a drink. I don't know when, Mo Mingsheng ran to buy two bottles of drinks, then folded them back, and proposed to go out to chat with Zhang Dequan.
Then, they came to the outside of the mall, found a relatively quiet place, and the two of them talked together, which can be regarded as getting to know each other.
After chatting for a while, Mo Mingsheng went home from work, leaving Zhang Dequan to work alone in the mall.
Since Zhang Dequan had not been exposed to any sales work before, he did not have much experience in how to promote the company's products. In addition, he has just come to work and does not have a good grasp of the company's product knowledge, so it is inevitable that he will feel frustrated.
"Young man, what are the characteristics of your product?" At this time, a middle-aged female customer asked, Zhang Dequan, who was standing on the side.
Because Zhang Dequan didn't know much about their company's products, he was a little nervous. In the end, Zhang Dequan could only support and not understand clearly. Because the promoter of the rival company was standing not far from the customer, Zhang Dequan's heart was even more nervous.
"Young man, you don't know how to do sales. I've asked you so much, but I can't answer it. Hey, forget it, don't buy your home. Seeing Zhang Dequan's service attitude, he complained very dissatisfied, and then the middle-aged female customer left dissatisfied.
The female promoter who was waiting next to her, when she saw that the opportunity was coming, immediately greeted her, pulled the middle-aged female customer to the side of her own product, gave the middle-aged female customer a head, and introduced the functions and characteristics of their products to the middle-aged female customer in an orderly manner. Of course, the shortcomings of their products, most of the time, they don't mention a word.
Sometimes, however, in order to cater to more professional customers, they will also point out their shortcomings appropriately so that customers can feel that they are sincere. Soon, the middle-aged female customer quickly bought her family's products in the promotion of the female promoter.
At this time, Zhang Dequan, such a situation made him very embarrassed and very uncomfortable. Zhang Dequan, who is inflated with competitiveness, is thinking at this time, how to improve his work ability and how to improve his sales level.
At this time, Zhang Dequan's first thought was that other promoters were promoting products. He stood next to them and listened to how they introduced the product and how they analyzed and explained it to the customer.
By 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Dequan still hadn't sold a single product, which meant that he hadn't opened an order yet. He felt that with his own ability, on the first day of work, he would definitely hang up and not have any sales performance. He thought about it, there is no way! His current professional knowledge is limited, and his current work ability cannot be compared with their old promoters.
Of course, in this process, there are also promoters from other companies, in order to give Zhang Dequan a disadvantage, in order to suppress Zhang Dequan's confidence in work. As a result, Zhang Dequan lost confidence in this job and did not continue to work tomorrow.
Next, they can sell more products, do more sales, and get more wages.
To put it bluntly, it is to bully newcomers and want to drive newcomers away.
However, it is also a coincidence. Just when Zhang Dequan was at a loss, a male customer walked towards Zhang Dequan.
"Young man, is your rice cooker better?" said the male customer in an airy manner, as if he was the kind of customer who was not bad for money.
"This is good!" Zhang Dequan, who was at a loss for what to say, pointed to a rice cooker with a very high-end price.
According to the impression of ordinary people, it is indeed the case, and the high-end price of goods, whether it is function or quality, must be nothing to say.
"699 yuan, huh? Okay, just get me one. After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, the male customer didn't think too much, and directly asked for the rice cooker with a very high-end price.
When the customer left, the stone in Zhang Dequan's heart was finally put down. Zhang Dequan, who went to work on the first day, almost didn't sell anything, and he was almost about to hang up. Fortunately, I was lucky to meet a local tyrant who was atmospheric and not bad for money. At this time, the promoters of other manufacturers all cast surprised looks.
"Young man, you're lucky! On the first day of work, I met a local tyrant when I opened the first order. The female promoter just now said with envy and sarcasm. It was the middle-aged female customer who didn't buy Zhang Dequan's products and went to buy her products.
Zhang Dequan sold it, and after that rice cooker, it didn't take long for the mall's business hours to end.
In the period that followed, Zhang Dequan never sold any products again. With the sudden and unstoppable good luck, Zhang Dequan opened the only order.
After getting off work, Zhang Dequan, who walked back to Liu Xiaoshu's residence, was like a deflated ball, and he couldn't lift his senses. Zhang Dequan was thinking, with his sales performance like tonight. If he continues to do this sales job, will he eat dirt directly in the future?
Zhang Dequan, who was walking on the road, could only walk like a walk, while hanging his head and thinking of a way to deal with it. At this time, Zhang Dequan was no longer struggling for a better life, but desperately trying to get rid of the shackles of reality for survival.
………
When Zhang Dequan returned to Liu Xiaoshu's residence, it was already late. However, Liu Xiaoshu and Zeng Jingru were still watching TV in the living room.
"How do you feel on your first day of work today?" When Liu Xiaoshu saw Zhang Dequan coming back, he curiously inquired about Zhang Dequan's experience of going to work for the first time when he first entered the society.
"It's not good, it's better to be busy for half a day, it's better to be someone else do an hour. After listening to Liu Xiaoshu's words, Zhang Dequan, who was listless, said dejectedly.
"Dequan, it's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning, in the future, you are familiar with the work, you have work experience, and you will slowly get better. Seeing Zhang Dequan's appearance, Zeng Jingru could only comfort Zhang Dequan like this, because she couldn't help much.
For Zhang Dequan at this time, Liu Xiaoshu wanted to say something, but Liu Xiaoshu didn't know where to start. Because he doesn't know much about Zhang Dequan's work experience, he doesn't know how to speak.
"Brother Xiaoshu, I want to rent a house near my work. Can you lend me some money?" Zhang Dequan, who had been sitting without speaking, suddenly said straight to the point that he wanted to rent a house.
Because when Zhang Dequan came out of his hometown, the money his father gave him had already been spent by him. For Zhang Dequan, who wants to rent a house, he can only turn to Liu Xiaoshu for help at this time.
"Wife, I think we should help him, are you right?" Liu Xiaoshu looked at Zeng Jingru and said half jokingly, half asking for his wife's opinion.
"Dequan, where are you going to rent a house, have you found a house?" After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Zeng Jingru didn't pay attention to Liu Xiaoshu, but directly asked Zhang Dequan about the specific details of renting a house.
"What kind of house you want to rent has not yet been decided. However, I went to visit yesterday and felt that there was a place with a good location, quite close to where I worked. After listening to Zeng Jingru's words, Zhang Dequan also said his thoughts.
"Where did you go shopping? Didn't you come back last night? After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Liu Xiaoshu said very exaggeratedly as if he had found some treasure.
"Dequan, you go to find a good house first, and settle down the house you want to rent first. By the way, your little brother will rest for two days, ask him to accompany you to find it, and if you want to buy something, you can also find your little brother to get it. Seeing Liu Xiaoshu's appearance, Zeng Jingru spoke to Liu Xiaoshu, as if she was giving Liu Xiaoshu a job.
"Wife, no problem, I will do it. After listening to Zeng Jingru's words, Liu Xiaoshu replied funny.
It seems that Zhang Dequan is not his cousin, but Zeng Jingru's cousin.
Then, the three of them chatted for a while, and after talking for a while, they went to sleep.
