Dear all,
As a lot of you know that I started working in Singapore since last december 2009. Now, I am working for a LED Lighting company. This company is just a medium range size company with just 18 of us including CEO / CTO / GM.
Currently we are dealing with several big projects such as Heeren, Universal Studio and Town Council Projects. Although I am new, but I am not treated like one. Meaning since the first day I stepped in, they threw me into the ocean and expect me to swim.
Thank God that I still can manage my job scope with a little bit of help from here and there. Thank you Mom, Aunty Agnes (though she don't know I blog), Cheryl and more! They have been helping since and I would not be able to get contacts so fast without their help.
God did the most in getting me the Job and staying in Singapore. He gave me the opportunity to work in S'pore and I will try my best and not to dissapoint HIM and those who put in a lot of effort and time to help me.
But working life is tough and meeting all sorts of people is a process where everyone goes through - Does not apply to those not working. Lately, I've been dealing with a Malaysian Customer which likes to demand things after things and in the end we are not sure if we will be getting the deal. It is like waste of effort and time for everyone in my office.
Nevermind that, I still have to meet client's requirements despite how they act. As a salesman, I have something to share. I DO NOT have BONUSES nor COMMISSION. Can you belive that? When I found out about this bad news I was like - What the heck? Meaning if you manage to bring in a 50Million deal to the company but you won't get anything from it and the company gets everything.
Next time, to those who plan to be a salesman or saleswomen, please check if the company gives commission or bonus to you, if not request and if to no avail, then you should think of what is next. As for my case, I am new in the industry and the reccession is so bad now. I can't be picky now so i took the job.
Well, it is time to get back to work. Loads of projects to quote and handle. Bye!
