It all Started with a Router…haha...

I am so happy!!! I sold my first Linksys Wireless N router today. Haha, never thought I can make that deal before I quit the job. Reason is because it’s the newest and most expensive router from Linksys (just came out during the IT show 2006 in early this month) and it’s an untold-but-known policy that whenever customers come into the shop to ask for expensive stuff (meaning more than $200), they belong to the seniors’ sale. However, today, it’s only a senior, a junior and I.

“Oh my god, I nearly forgot to mention: I have got a junior. Haha… My boss is kind enough to give me a newcomer to torture for a while before I leave the job. Haha… I’m kidding la. Just ask him to do all the vacuuming of floor, wiping the glass panes, clearing of garbage, putting the price tags, arranging the goods and buying lunch for the rest of us while I’m reading Today only mah. I mean that’s what he will be doing after I leave, so it’s good to let him adapt to the working environment fast. Right?!? Haha…”

Back to the topic, so my senior was serving a customer who was planning to get an IP camera (most expensive in the shop…). Then this customer came in and asked for linksys router. I have no idea he want, or neither did he know that he want a Wireless N router. After explaining to him how a router actually works, he wished to take a look at the high-end router, which leads to me introducing him the $239 product. This is my first time trying to sell that product to a customer and when he said he wants, I tell you, even my senior stopped explaining to his customer and looked at us. Haha… The feeling is really really great. It reminded me of the first router I sold when I first started working. For those who don’t know, before I joined the company, I know no shit about what router is. Haha….

But good times always end fast. Tomorrow will be my last day working at Sim lim. When I handed my resignation letter to my boss, he asked me whether I wished to work part time on Saturdays and Sundays when school starts. I promised to give him an answer after I got my NTU course time-table. If time permit, there’s no reason to say “NO” to money.

I really have a great time working all these while. I must really thank the staff, my boss and my friends who came to visit me and see how I am doing. I really appreciated it. Plus, I also saw some celebrities like, jeanette aw, bryan wong from super idol, Linda liow…. etc.

Now, I’m just looking forward to having a good break and some revision before school starts. For those who are free and interested, can ask me out in the month of July. Be quick to book me, before you need a queue number from me…haha…
