Survive Through Difficulties.Challenge Your Limits. @ ＠Lynn的腦中所想，心之所感

Ok, here goes.

Upon LaoDa’s request, I’ll be writing my work memo and diaries in English.

I know that at work it’s inevitable that people come and go. To be frank, I did allow it to reach to me and I can’t deny that I was mentally affected.

I understand that people have different visions and goals in life. The people who left our team made the decision to search for another place or type of work that suited them better. They’ll have the opportunity to figure out what their advantages are and what future they want to create for themselves. I shouldn’t be too sentimental and I shouldn’t second guess their decision; instead I should give them my congrats on their decisiveness.

It’s been a difficult challenge for most of us.

Some of us are familiar with the market and the consumer behavior of this region of Taiwan. Some of us don’t have any experience in this field so we’re starting blank. We each have our challenges and our struggles. However, I’m heartfelt that the whole team now has stronger will to fight through all this together.

Currently my situation is I’m not well prepared to face my customers. This is a fact and I won’t deny it. Only when I face the ugly truth and claim my mistakes then I’ll learn and improve. The biggest fault that I have is that I don’t have an organized thought ready( regardless if I have it down or paper or in my mind) for each customer. I didn’t realize it since the first two days I gave myself an excuse saying to myself:"I’m new at this”, “I can still test the waters”. This not only brings no result to my learning progress each day, it also goes against what our company expects of us.

I fully appreciate what our leader is trying to say during our short meetings each day. What the company is doing: trying to push us to our limits. It’s to prove that we are people worth the company’s investment. It’s to allow us to prove that we have the heart, the will and the potential to become the future leaders we ought to be.

If someone would misunderstand the meaning behind the task given (7 cases, 2 payment receivables and/or 0.2m) as an unreasonable goal for newbies. Or the leader is too harsh on us. Then it would be a good time for this person to either give himself a kick in the head or maybe just choke himself to death, either way works. It is too obvious that the company is trying to test our limits, and our strength to weather through difficult tasks.

We have to be fully aware that every single action we do, there has to be purpose and done effectively. We are tightly linked to the company’s profit and capability to build a better known brand. Looking back, my work and my attitude hasn’t been acceptable. I haven’t challenged myself to reach a goal of at least 70 calls a day, neither 2 meeting set ups per day.

Either find a more efficient way to do my work, or do more preparation.

I was able to ask for suggestions and recommendations to the coworkers who joined the company slightly earlier than us. They demonstrated such generosity in sharing their experiences and encouragement. 香蓉學姊 gave me suggestions on how to work my spiel and my approach towards my customers. I also took the opportunity to ask 力榕學姊 on how to top a good meeting with the customers.

Crisis Awareness
- Bring them to a crisis awareness on how far back they are on the trend going on. ( in terms of the rwd website related announcements)
Advantages of an red website
- Analyze the pros of establishing a rwd website and the advantages it offers
Competitive analysis
- Show them how their competitors are up to date with this information and what actions have they taken
- Demonstrate it both on a notebook and a smartphone
Be ingenious in talking about the cost
- A cost analysis is needed
- Mention the alternative’s price and allow them to compare
The rest we’ll leave it up to fate. If the business was meant to be. There wouldn’t be any difficulties in signing a contract. After all, it’s a puny case compared to the other cases the company has on file.

I want to demonstrate that I have the will to do better, to become better. Prove that I am worth their investment. I know this is just the beginning of my challenges but I’m not refrain by it, bring it on!

Let’s end today with a quote by Oprah Winfrey :”Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.” I’m counting on myself it reach my milestone someday.
