Chapter 196 ["Soft Landing"]

According to rumors, one day the police received a report from a citizen and arrested a man with suspicious appearance. After investigation, the man had just won the lottery jackpot and was a little nervous due to his excessive vigilance, so he was not a bad guy.

This anecdote fully illustrates a truth: when you think that everyone around you is like a thief and is overly careful, in the eyes of others, you are the one who is most like a thief.

After the company's confidentiality regulations were enforced, the staff of the marketing department became such a state. They hardly talk to colleagues in other departments, and they are extremely cautious when talking to people in their own departments, and when they inadvertently talk about work-related content, they look at each other like thieves, and the conversation ends abruptly.

This kind of behavior fell in the eyes of people in other departments, not to mention sneaky, at least nervous, like a group of guys who had just come out of the psychiatric department of the Third Hospital.

For the people in the marketing department, this state will not affect the work for a while, but if it goes on like this for a long time, it is definitely not a good thing, and the negative effect will become more and more great. Fortunately, after a period of adaptation, coupled with Lu Xiaorong's guidance, everyone gradually returned to normal.

Keeping important work information is a kind of professional quality. In the past, when many employees were in the sales department, they would not ask about other people's customers in small talk, and they would pay attention to the important information of their own customers, but it never affected their normal work and life. Just because each order of the marketing department is huge, it has brought a certain psychological burden to everyone, and there is some overreaction.

On Wednesday, Lu Xiaorong took Yang Liyang and Li Bin to participate in the bid opening meeting of the Huating Science and Technology Park project and successfully won the project. This is the first project that Lu Xiaorong has operated alone, and it has special significance for her and the marketing department.

When the news spread in the company, it caused quite a shock. Needless to say, the people in the marketing department were rejoicing. People in other departments are also very excited, because the better the performance of the marketing department, the better the company's performance, which is good for everyone.

The only exception is the sales department. The profitability of the company has nothing to do with the income of the salespeople. The marketing department won this order, which was a heavy blow to the sales department. This month has only just passed the halfway point, and the performance of the marketing department has already exceeded 50 million, so what can the sales department do to compete with others? I am afraid that from now on, the performance comparison between the two departments will no longer be of an order of magnitude.

In fact, at this time, no matter how dull people are, they can see that the prospects of the sales department will become more and more bleak.

Many of the company's rules and regulations and initiatives are inclined to the marketing department, and its importance is self-evident. In comparison, the sales department is like a stepmother, not only did not get any benefits, but suffered a lot of losses.

The competition with the marketing department, now it seems, is obviously cut by half of the monthly sales award. The establishment of retail agents will undoubtedly have a great impact on the customers of the sales department.

With the gradual opening up of the marketing department, the external competitive environment has changed, and now the salesperson can clearly feel that the business is more difficult than before. When there are retail agents all over the city, what else is your business doing?

This month, the overall performance of the sales department has shown a downward trend. It can be said that every salesman has losses, and in terms of absolute amounts, it is natural that the losses of the sales elite are greater.

However, the sales department did not appear to be angry, but fell into a strange state.

Feng Yongsheng's Hesheng Industry and Trade became the first retail agent, which greatly touched Shen Tai'an, Jiang Mao and others who were interested in following in the footsteps of their own business. They all know that the earlier they apply, the more advantageous it is, and with the situation of their existing customers, choosing a favorable area will be beneficial to their future operations, so they are busy registering companies.

To start a company, it is not enough to rely on a bare-bones commander, and the elites of the sales department have become the objects of their competition. And those salesmen with average performance will also be won. As the so-called strength of many people, although these people are not as good as the sales elite, but they are also old salesmen who hold customers, as long as they can fight for it, they can see the benefits immediately. In the end, no one cared about only three or two kittens, all of which were ranked last in terms of performance.

The sales department has become such a situation, everyone is worried about their future, with the dream of starting a business, for a while people are moving, naturally no one cares about the sales department in the future. There were also people who were dissatisfied and muttered a few words, but the voice was not loud, and no one responded, so they stopped mentioning it, and instead thought about who would be more promising to go out with.

In this battle for talent, Shen Tai'an's advantage is obvious. Although in the sales department, Mr. Shen's character is a joke, everyone knows that Mr. Shen has contributed a lot to the development of the sales department to this day. Compared with several executives, at least Mr. Shen has proven that he has the ability to run a company. Even if everyone despises him, he will not get along with money. Forget about that little thing at the beginning.

Although Jiang Mao and Lu Yifang are at a slight disadvantage, they also have their own relationships, and they have attracted several sales elites and more than a dozen midstream salesmen. The two originally said that they wanted to start a company in partnership, but in the end they did their own thing, but in the entrepreneurial stage, they took a common learning and progress situation, and asked the masters, including Mo Fan, how to do business.

If their retail agency qualifications can be approved, they will also do sales in their respective regions, and they will not affect each other, so it is no problem for the two companies to use a template, which is also the premise for the two to cooperate openly and honestly.

Of course, there are some salesmen who are unwilling to mix with them, some want to start their own business and live the addiction of being a boss; some are considering changing jobs, and the conditions of companies such as Qi'an and Standa are still good, although they may earn less, but they are relatively much more stable.

poaching people from within the company, this is what Mo Fan hinted at, and Lin Ruoxi also acquiesced, but after all, it is against professional ethics and it is not good to do it on the bright side, and everyone's various tandem activities are carried out in secret, even if it is just to make a appearance, but it has to be expressed.

So the people in the company found that the people in the marketing department had become normal, and the people in the sales department had begun to be abnormal again, one by one, just like doing underground work.

During this slightly chaotic time, Lin Ruoxi was not in the company most of the time. On Monday, she went to Haitian Electronics, on Tuesday she went out to talk about the provincial agent, stayed in the company for half a day on Thursday morning, and flew away in the afternoon. By the time she returned on Friday, the matter of the provincial agent had basically been negotiated.

This progress was much faster than Mo Fan expected, because the other party made some key concessions, which fully showed that Lin Ruoxi's negotiation ability was quite good. Mo Fan didn't have the opportunity to see it in person, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.

When Lin Ruoxi was away, Mo Fan led the daily work of the company, and most of the things could be done according to the existing process, and there was no need to worry too much.

Thanks to some of Lin Ruoxi's later initiatives, the change of the sales department has achieved a "soft landing". If the sales department was boiling, Mo Fan would definitely not be willing to take this hot potato.

……

……

On Saturday morning, after breakfast, Ji Xiaoying pulled Lu Xiaorong to go shopping.

Mo Fan was originally going to go with him, but on weekends, it was the time for lovers to be together, not to mention that Ji Xiaoying was sometimes very unreliable. Who knew that Ji Xiaoying said that she would not take him to play, and said with a glare: "Let's go buy things for women, what are you doing with them?"

For this neurotic policewoman, Mo Fan really has no temper, and she is so justified in ruining other people's weekends, I am afraid that this is the only one in the world. So I had to stay at home and read books to pass the time.

Paul had just sent in some publications the other day, and there was a lot of content in them that was worth savoring. Accompanying the publication was a letter from Paul that addressed a question about evolutionary securities.

Evolutionary securities is a new methodological system for studying the logic of stock market fluctuations, which belongs to the frontier interdisciplinary discipline of evolutionary finance. Put simply, the theory considers stock market volatility to be a "life movement" rather than a "mechanical movement" as traditional economics believes.

Paul's letter sparked a lot of thought on the part of Mo Fan, and he wanted to have an in-depth discussion with Paul about it, which would be a good boost for both of them.

Just read two pages of the book, and heard movement in the kitchen, Mo Fan glanced over and saw Liang Wenbo washing the dishes, so he said, "Why are you so diligent today?"

Liang Wenbo said: "Xiao Xiao has an exam today, so he won't come over." ”

Mo Fan said "oh", didn't take it seriously, made a cup of coffee and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

After a while, Liang Wenbo washed the dishes and came out, sitting on the sofa with his head drooping, looking sullen.

Mo Fan glanced at him and sneered: "You are really promising, isn't it that no one came, as for you?"

Liang Wenbo glanced at Mo Fan and said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not because of her." ”

Mo Fan put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you might as well say it to make me happy." ”

Liang Wenbo pursed his lips and said, "It's inhuman!" After a pause, he said, "Do you remember the idea I made for that bicycle last time?"

Mo Fan said: "I'm not forgetful. Didn't you get your idea chosen, what's wrong?"

The last time I went to the resort, Liang Wenbo made an idea that he thought was good, and Mo Fan also thought it was okay, but unfortunately he participated in the company's internal selection and was knocked down. Although there are some regrets, Liang Wenbo is not too frustrated, he is really happy to be defeated, and cooperates with the ideas of others to do work.

It's been a long time, and I don't know how he's brought it up again.

Liang Wenbo said: "That list was finally taken by Oriental Advertising. Yesterday I heard from a colleague that the idea of Oriental Advertising was very similar to the one I made. I didn't believe it at first, but then I realized that damn, where is it like, it's exactly the same!"
