Old Airport Road // Types of customers promoters have to face // Dropping by ;)

hey ;)

IMG_9790

So recently I had work during the weekend again. And since the pay was good + people there were nice, I wouldn't mind working there :) SO I dropped by to help out at the booth. This time it was at Suntec Convention Centre and the working hours were REALLY LONG. But since it's only for 3 days I guess it wasn't that bad! Had to work for 11h the first 2 days and it didn't help that I didn't sleep before the 2nd day but AT LEAST I TANKED THROUGH >:) I could sleep while talking to people though HAHA.

Went Old Airport Road to have breakfast on my 2nd and 3rd day with my parents and had FREAKING GOOD LOR MEE and SHAO BAO and PORRIDGE and TAUHUAY and CHEE CHEONG FUN hehehe. I always hate Singapore's chee cheong fun since it ruins the taste (Penang's ones are the BEST) but this hk one is REALLY GOOD NO JOKE. I usually bring food to eat at work for lunch and dinner since I am really broke :(((( Like legit, 0 cash and $0 in my ATM.

AND my dad was so nice he knew I had a sleepover so I wouldn't have enough sleep so he secretly gave me this <3

Well, even though I was SUPER SLEEPY on the 2nd day, people came to visit me <3 So Shihui dropped by to have Llao Llao with me, which I haven't eaten since before As HAHAHA. But it was SOOOOO GOOD. Ok, I guess I've lost my interest in Llao Llao actually since there were too many outlets popping up suddenly and the quality is going down and the price is actually quite high ._. Time to find another craving.

Claud, Shabs, Leumas and 736iu came to visit me at work which was quite funny actually HAHA and all the dirty people who didn't change their clothes since the day before. But aww they came to visit me thanks!! ^^

OK ANYWAY, back to the main topic.

Types of customers promoters have to face

Just working 3 times and I can roughly classify most of the customers HAHAHAH

1. Interested

They are genuinely interested in the product and wouldn't mind listening, then they'll buy.

2. Comparing brands but still slightly interested

They want to buy the product but is researching and trying to find the best deal possible/best product possible. Then they'll ask you what's the different between your product and the other brand's product and you'll be like ... uhh ... different brands lor. HAHA

3. Listening but not interested

Even if you explain everything to them till your throat runs dry, they will still listen but NEVER buy. -.-

4. Daosterz

Clearly there are some who would just dao you completely even if you try and ask them if they are interested. HOW ABOUT JUST SAY NO OR INDICATE THE PERSON IS THERE??? (ahahah I always feel like slapping these people you think you big isit???)

5. Awkward decline-rs

They're actually nice but are not interested in the product, so they'll just nod and smile shyly at you to show they're uninterested.

6. Question spammers

Well basically they'll just ask you every single question about the product in the whole world. Be mentally prepared.

7. The BUYERS

YAY even though I don't get commission but the satisfaction of selling it is GREAT. WHEEEEEEEEE

Well this is my take on some of the kinds of customers you'll see as a promoter HAHA But this experience is really valuable ;)) Even though there'll f-ing asshole customers but overall if your colleagues are nice, it's quite a fun and slack job ;)))

OCBC Arena: Volleyball // Got my voice back! // Old Airport Road FOOOOODDDD

heyy ;))

AIYA WATEVER FOREVER RESCHEDULING MY POSTS.

Went to Sports Hub to play volleyball with Estee, Ali, some of my batchmates and the seniors, so we thought it was beach volleyball and we didn't bring shoes :(( It's actually indoor so we ended up playing barefoot. Missing Dong, Qing, Qi and Nhu :(((

Went to play with no voice at all, not even a squeak and got laughed at ._. HECK LA. Training their hearing JIC the guys cannot hear their commandos HAHAH kidding! The courts were really big, and we went to hall 3 at OCBC Arena. It could fit 3 volleyball courts in that hall with ample space in between and at the sides. And there was AIRCON. Actually I can't play competitive volleyball in aircon, so luckily this was just for fun hehe ;)

Made up random teams to play against each other, and the best team was when all us girls were together, so basically, it was GIRLS TEAM. HAHA I swear I don't even know how we won, but we did. ^^ The floors were also freaking clean; my feet weren't even THAT dirty after playing for so long!!

Another thing was the toilets there were HUGE. AND LIKE A MAZE. The bathing cubicles was right after turning and walking through lockers, which was quite interesting actually. PLUS the toilet outside said 'TEAM CHANGING ROOM' so basically it's for girls OR guys right?? Which is so confusing but I guess it's cause it depends on the teams too LOL.

But the toilets were pretty and well maintained nonetheless, and THERE WAS A FREAKING HAIR DRYER INSIDE. TOTALLY LIKE A HOTEL!!!

WA DAMN COOL REALLY.

We booked the courts from 2-5pm, so it was around $5 per person? (I think) haha. It was $30 for an hour during peak hours, and $15 during non-peak hours. But when you split the cost it's actually quite affordable ;)

Went to Old Airport Road with Ali and the guys after for dinner, and I was STARRRVVVING. But sian I couldn't eat alot since I still had a little sore throat ._. But the food there was good!!! Just nua-ed around there for really long, gossipped about random stuff, and stupid Jonny went to talk about my drunk adventures. PLEASE I WASN'T THATTTT DRUNK. I had to stand up for myself, but NO VOICE. So aiya whatever. But it was actually quite funny hearing about it LOL. And I felt a little bad SORRY!!! OH and I am so NOT a party animal        \(^_^)/

Conclusion: Volleyball brings back your voice. (kidding maybe it was the forced meds but WHATEVER)
