1st time being a Promoter!


Hey!
Kinda nervous here since it's my 1st time blogging...
My very first time after being persuaded for months or years perhaps..
And by whom...? Giv u a BIG hint...her name starts with a 'W' !

Okok..back to my topic...

EHeheM...* clearing throat*


Just about less than 48 hours b4 the bigbigday...Cheryl n Wendy was just talking about how fun it would be to be earning $$ by working for about 6 hours during M'sian studies ( boring subj ! ) .. after hearin about d pay..i wan to be part of it too!
But unfortunately no more place available for me coz they only needed 3 ( wen, cherly n her sis )...bohuhu..

Anyway... i tot i'd nvr hav d chance to work v them...but who knows... later tat night, cheryl called n said that she wont be able to make it on sunday due to sum reasons.....and.... guess who replaced her! Me! We also had to find another replacement as her sister couldnt go too...

Noww...introducing my Jobbie...
As a promoter, i'll be promoting the " Antabax" shower cream!
Venue : Sunway Lagoon
Time : 8.00am to 5.00pm
Pay : RM ???.00
( stil unknown..keke) curious...

Just the night b4 working, i stayed overnight at wendy's unit ..
just incase we couldnt wake up early or arrive late...
and end up being FIRED b4 even selling our 1st bottle of shower cream... !!!
We set our alarms at 6.00am coz we hav to arrive thr around 7.30am
but i set mine at 5.45am coz hav to shower first...
lazy wendy doesnt wn to wake up first...>.<

Anyway...around 9.30pm that night Chelsea ( our dunno who ) sent us a file which looked like EXAM MODULE NOTES...! I was like....har... working also hav to study!? ..

So we went thru the slides by reading each word carefully and memorized them!

Come to think of it , it was kinda silly of us coz we waste quite alot of time preparing for it.... SUMMMORE..wendy was reading and memorizing it so fast...!
like robot...whereas i was slow..>.<...(tired ma...brain not functioning properly )

You can say that we were pretty nervous coz we couldnt sleep ( or was it bcoz i kept talking ) until 2.30am. Finally, we dozed off..

My alarm rang so loud tat i think the whole buildin could hear except for wendy! ..u knw why...=p .

6.00am d ( only 3 and a half hour of sleep!!! ) ..i woke up 10mins late hahaa... and had to rush around. We just had simple touch ups and were on our way!

Wendy drove us thr and it was a great morning as everything was in place...no cars on the road..not raining... just great! hehee ^^

My Feelings : Excited, Happy, NERVOUS and also PANICKING!
( coz i've forgotten everythg i read last night! hehe )

Finally... we hav arrived!!! Yippeee!~
SUNWAY LAGOON !
i look like ghost/vampire after applying dee's foundation =s

And oh yea!
This is my first time goin in! so hapi!

although my hostel was jst next to sunway lagoon when i was in college,
i've nvr step foot inside b4!
only been peeping inside S.L from my room...
SAD CASE =(

while waiting for our supervisor to come...we starting takin pics * keke*
*to release stress* haha...

Date : 30th Nov 08
Day : Sunday
Event : Family Day!

I tot that it would just be an ordinary day...but little did i know it was a HUGE day!
Its the Family Day and alot...and i mean DAMN alot of ppl were thr enjoyin themselves!

We got in for free since we r the promoters hoho...( 1st entry fee free for me! )
I was acting like one of them when i got in to S.L...like i'm on holiday
wanted to go here and there to take a look ..
but got scolded by wendy T.T * sob sob*
Anyway... its Working time!

Being a promoter isnt like wat u think until u've become one yourself!
I had a great experience and wouldn't mind doing it again actually ehehe..


All u need is to SMILE and SMILE and keep on SMILING even if u feel like strangling the customer!

Be very FRIENDLY although you find some of them quite annoying...( very hiao! ergh! )
and also the 2 P's...which are --- be PATIENT and POLITE .

Be very very very CONVINCING...that's the most important part! ^^

And lastly...never forget to say THANK YOU and SMILE again ! XD

I didnt expect to sell more than 10 bottles actually coz i myseslf hav nvr heard of the brand "Antabax" b4...

But who knows...just minutes after our briefing, i got my 1st customer!

I can stil remember how it felt..! I was so excited and that was an urge that made me wanna work hard for it... try as hard as possible to sell of everything that was there that day!

That feeling made my day and loved doing my job =)
One hour later..our bag were full with $$$$$ ! we were rich and successful with our business!
but not for long though as we had to give them back at the end of the day...bohuhu...

( we could hav actually considered taking business line instead of health line haha! )

Wendy and I kept on smiling to anyone we saw ,
passing out free samples to the ppl who passed by....( sum were so greedy..took all my samples b4 i could even explain about the product ! )

what to do??? Cant do anything but to take out more samples and distributing it ..!
and also promoting and selling our products every second! non-stop!

It was Sunny and Hot that day....at just around 10am..both of our faces were bright red! like apples and tomatoes !! yummy!


Soon...Lunch break came.



Our supervisor , Richard ( also a student! ) only allowed one of us to hav makan while another 1 of us hav to continue with our work...


BUT... we managed to persuade him to let us both makan at the same time !
We sort of bullied him by asking him to work while we were gone for lunch! muahahaha...!
Luckily thr's this girl ,Jess who was working at another part of S.L came to our booth and rescued us... thx!

Here's pretty Jess on the right - made a friend! very nice and friendly person!

so...BREAK TIME FOR US!

was quite hungry d and wendy wanted to eat KFC!

And so, KFC it is!

after lunch and while regaining our energy... its...

Picture time!


Leg pain and tired d...standing for more than 5 hrs!


pOsERs...while killing time~ Made a stop at the ladies b4 heading back to work again
-- for touch ups

Guess wat...we hav our own supporters( ejinq n wai hong) cheering as we were working!

Thanks alot guys! ^^

Richard gave us 5 mins to meet up with them
Thanks too for that! ^^
The 2 tired promoters

And finally...5pm came but our supervisor wanted us to stay for another hour!
We were so exhausted then..but with extra pay ( obviously) ...
who wouldnt mind for another 60 minutes!
And so...we worked till 6.00pm


At the end of the day...

close shop d and we started counting the money that we manage to get ( not earned)

Miss wendy 'earned' ---> RM921.00 for Antabax!
