Reflective Writing
What I would like to share is an experience from my
part-time job as a sales promoter at Sim Lim Square. Brief description, as a
sales promoter our salary is high in commission and low in basic. So every sales promoter that is working
with you is not only your friend, they are also your competitors.
What I wanted to highlight is as a sales promoter, we have a
few simple golden rules to follow. One of that rules is when a return customer
who has been served and came back, the other promoters should not try close the
deal and take the credit for himself. The other promoters should assist and
refer the customer back to the previous promoter who had served. Unless, that
promoter is not in on that day whether is medical leave, work off or holiday.
This is to prevent conflict among us.
One of my most unforgettable lessons that I have learned and
wanted to share is when my colleague closes a deal and takes the credit for
himself. At that point of time, I was angry and anxious. Angry in my colleague
as why did my colleague did this and anxious in, will this ruins our
relationship and my day-to-day work or will it lead to a conflict if I reported
it to my superior. In the end, I kept quiet and did nothing, as I did not wish
to make a big fuss out of it.
Through this experience, I have learned something. Some
people are cunning, two-faced and willing to do anything to get what they want
but in the end, are they happy or satisfy for what they have done or become.
Some may say you need to become cunning and two-faced in order to survive in
this concrete jungle but they are not necessarily right. I believe if we can
live an honest and clear conscience with our family and friends, it is the best
life that a man can ever ask for. This experience is not only a turning point
for me; it also has become a guidance to lead me to become a better person and
to prevent myself from going to the wrong path.
