Chapter 32 What the hell is entrepreneurship?

"Have you heard? Nalan Rong started her own company. "The salespeople who like to gossip around are sitting in the pantry again, vying to be the head of the press department.

The biggest specialty of my people is gossip + complaining. In the field of gossip and complaining, there has always been no opponent in the world.

"Really? No wonder I kept asking her where she was after she left her job, but there was no news! Wang Wei, a salesman transferred from the North District, asked a little excitedly. He was happy for his former boss.

"Part-time job" is always the prefix of "work", and there is no way out for salespeople who like to stand on their own feet and are used to being free and casual. Sometimes they would rather be a penny boss than a million-dollar salaryman.

"yes, she was very mysterious. All of us don't know where she's gone. Didn't anyone say that she had already gotten Aite's offer and was going to be a sales director? ”

"I also heard that before she left, she really got Aite's offer, but in the end, I don't know why she didn't succeed again, but went to start a business?" Sales Wang Wei authoritatively stated. "I heard from the sales manager at Aite that they had an office ready for her and were ready to welcome her into the job. But in the last 2 days, I learned that she was not going. ”

"Now it seems that I didn't go, but if I did, wouldn't I have been merged back now? A company doesn't need two sales directors, and she doesn't know which position she'll be assigned to. A salesman is glad for her. Indeed, with the culture of never re-hire departing employees, she will not have a good life when she returns.

So what is she doing now? Or do you make component products? Wang Wei still cares about his old leader. At the same time, he also wanted to leave a few more ways for himself. After all, now that the company is merged, I don't know what kind of customer resources will be merged, maybe it will be myself in the list of being invited to the office for coffee by the boss?

The company is merged, and in order to ensure that the company's sales department and finance department have beautiful numbers on the statements, the sales target will inevitably rise. But for sales, the market itself is so big, the second and third have not been able to surpass the boss for decades, will they surpass the boss because of this merger? These front-line salespeople simply don't believe the inspiring words that the bosses say on the table.

If they are to have the confidence to take advantage of the industry leaders, they must offer two things: 1) more advanced products and solutions, and 2) more attractive product prices.

Even if it's just one of them - if there is a good product, they can win big customers, after all, big customers pay more attention to quality in terms of price; This is the most desired outcome for sales. However, the product research and development department of Kute company is very weak - the sales department spreads: with the products and design drawings of the industry leader, it is impossible to imitate the design and produce the same components. This made the sales laugh at the R&D department, but also the lack of confidence in the customer.

If the price is attractive, they can develop some customers from state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, after all, the company's product quality and world-renowned brands are placed here.

Now that the global economic environment is not good, large companies are freezing headcounts one after another, and the more radical ones have begun to quietly lay off employees in batches. In this environment, Nalan Rong's fledgling company won't die before it starts, right? Wang Wei couldn't help but worry about the old leader.

However, if I continue to stay in Kut, not to mention the risk of being laid off in the current merger, in case of a global financial crisis like in 2009, although I stayed in the company, my salary was discounted, and my customers stopped purchasing. Sitting in the office all day long, doing all kinds of boring work assigned by the boss, sitting like pins and needles every day like going to prison, that kind of day is just as uncomfortable.

In fact, Wang Wei faintly hoped to be terminated by the company, and the most secondary: to get an N+2 or 3 compensation plan, then he worked in Kute for 8 years and could get two or three hundred thousand compensation. Then go to Nalan Rong to start the stove again, which is a good home. After all, the sales incentive policy of small companies is flexible, and in the case of a bad economy, low-cost companies are more likely to get orders from customers. He believed that he was joining now, and as the veteran of the company, Nalan Rong would not treat him badly.

Wang Wei is a salesman with strong executive ability, and if he thinks about it, he will act immediately. This is also a quick decision made by years of sales experience.

He casually exchanged a few polite words with the salesmen, walked to the coffee machine, made himself a cappuccino, and walked out of the pantry with the coffee cup.

The salesmen saw Nalan Rong's ex-love general walk out of the pantry and whispered, "It turns out that he doesn't know about his boss yet." ”

"It's the ex-boss! Once a son of heaven and a courtier, people go to tea and cool down. It seems that his boss didn't treat him as his own. Another salesman hit the nail on the head and said mercilessly. Anyway, speaking behind people's backs is the strength of the **** people.

Wang Wei walked out, listening to their casual conversation, and felt that his back was stared at by countless pairs of eyes. Suddenly, the nerves in his back tensed, and his back was unnaturally straightened. He felt very uncomfortable: after all, they were still talking to him about Nalan Rong just now. Before he had even stepped out of the pantry, they were talking about him behind his back.

Fortunately, the pantry was only 20 square meters in size, and he didn't take a few steps before going out. Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief gently: these salesmen are not only comrades-in-arms in the trenches, fighting with competitors together; It is also in the layoff season that the competitors who are fighting together to stay qualified - there are enemies with you without me, with me without you.

Returning to his seat, Wang Wei drank all the cappuccino in his hand, sorted out his thoughts, paced into the corridor outside the company, and dialed Nalan Rong's phone. This was the first time she contacted Nalan Rong after she left.
