Life would be better in Spring

So today is my official second day at work since training ended.

So far I've been to 2 appts: one with my parents and the other one with da gu gu.
Along the way, I have also attempted to make appts with all the other relatives.

As everybody knows, I am an introvert, I am someone who doesn't talk much or doesn't know how to talk much with other people. As I make calls and go for appts, there is one mentality that I feel some people have that disturbs me A LOT.

People think that just because I am an introvert and because I am who I am, they think that sales is not a suitable job for me and that I won't be able to make it. Precisely because I am someone who does not know how to talk all the more I should learn how to step out of my comfort zone to try new things? Isn't it precisely because I am not someone who knows how to talk I should continue to learn and grow in this job to be a better version of myself? Yeah I can't do it now, but who knows I might surprise you the next time. All I ask for is a bit of support. Even if you are not interested in what I am sharing, can you at least have a better attitude towards what I am doing and give me an opportunity to listen to what I have to say or take time to look at my improvement, instead of just making your judgement straight in day 1. I am serious in improving and support is all I need and all that really helps at this point in time.

Another stereotype is that many sales persons are unethical or all they are trying to do is hardsell. All they want to do is to earn money and sell to you. NO! I believe that when myself or some of my colleagues introduce a product to you, we want to hear an honest opinion from you. We want to know why you aren't interested in that product because we want to know if its a misconception, or if there really is something lacking in the product or anything else. So, when we say you can be frank to you, you can be frank to us. There are genuine sales persons that exist out there and I hope you believe me because this shows the kind of trust you put in me.

So yeah... more setbacks then success so far. I can't deny that I feel discouraged and worn out each time. But I am really thankful for the colleagues around me who constantly provide guidance, support, and encouragement to each other.

So now, what I am trying to do is to not be disheartened and discouraged by any setbacks. Instead, be more motivated to find out more, more motivated to work even harder to prove to the people out there who didn't believe in you wrong. Don't be discouraged, just fight harder and stronger.

JIAYOU

/update/ Just saw the previous post about courage when I went to view my blog.
Courage -- I think I can safely say I have more courage than before. This is my first step towards self-improvement and I will get better.
