I have completed the sales training, i pass the exam and got the job!!! Yeaaaaaaaa… i should be happy right? LOL. Well i am actually, i was thrilled that i made it! But at the end, i didn’t take the job offer. During the training session, reality hit me and brought me back to the world.  The first 2 days of the training all they talk about was MONEY. How much MONEY you can make if you close a deal, What is the amount that they bring back after closing a deal…bla bla bla…you know how they are…how they try to “Blind” you with big lum of moolah!! Obviously , you will be motivated to close deals…but on the third day that’s when everything brought me back to the world…lol.

Don’t get me wrong , this company has made bunch of millionares just by closing deals.  How you asked? Well, the cheapest package in the company is at USD20 thousand per head +24 % service charge( Malaysia Grand Prix event)and u need to sell minimum 6 package per table! With that much amount of money, who do you think we target? Who do you think our “victim” is? Definitely the Company Owner or Decision Maker kan? So, now to get the company owner personal number do you think its easy? For me, the answer is no! I have to go through Gate keeper la…this la that la…eh…banyak eh! On top of that i have to make 150 calls a DAY!!! After work i still need to find my own leads ( 150 and above) and then do some research on the company…sighhhhhhhhhhhh. At the end…i am a 24 hours working machine.(something that i don’t enjoy doing)

The monthly salary is nothing here. To be honest, you can’t survive with that money. Imagine, just the parking fees itself cost you Rm12 a day(cheapest Rm8 but limited parking space),food at least RM10,my car  Rm90 for full tank… that it self cost me shit loads of money! And how many times do you think i can be lucky in a month to be able to close a deal???  A deal that cost loads and loads of MOOLAH? Sighhh…I did some research on this company, some said they did not close a deal for good 5-6 months! Can i live just on the basic by then??Hmmmm….i don’t think so.

To top this all up, i will lose my NIKE sponsorhip(due to long working hours, hard for me to commit GX classes). This something that i am not willing to let go just yet at the moment… i have build everything from scrath for the past 9 years to be an A listed NIKE athlete and for me this opportunity is not something that comes by everyday.So at the end..i said bye bye to the job.

So now, im back hunting for job again tomorrow i will have 2 interviews. This time it’s an event company. I know this is also another long working hour job but at least this do not require me to find 150 leads and calling 150 PA’s a day just to get the CEO or DM personal number and with good time management i am still able to teach a class on the weekend (as i do not have to do research and find 150 leads) and i still have my nike sporsonship in hand.

Oh well that’s my latest update peeps on my job hunting and my sales training experience.

Oh btw, If you want to make big bucks and basically dont mind working around the clock….go search THG, They are actively looking for people to work for them :D  My spot is currently empty ;P
