The past week at work has been crazy...
Investors are panicky about their open positions... but I am eager for the opportunities that lie beneath the chaotic situation....market crashes... indices dip... price went so low.... opportunities opportunities...
No one can predict the market movement..... no one....
Whenever customer ask me if I think the market will go up, how long etc...
I will reply in my most nonchalant manner:
"Mr.XXX, if I have the Magic Crystal ball, I wouldnt be sitting here reviewing your portfolio. I will be sitting at home comfortably... but busy counting the $$$ I just made!"
But, coming from a humble background, Papa is a Fish Monger (Supervisor only, not the boss!), mother was a Homemaker... 3 kids... middle income family... I grow up comfortably.
As a GEN Y kid, I get the occasion treat of MacDonald's (Hamburger, not Fillet-O-Fish cos it's the cheapest!). I experienced Rice in Plain water and Soya Sauce & pickled vege...
So I can fully understand the customer's anxiety of their hard earned money.... naturally they are anxious... so I will always add in:
"Auntie/Uncle, Dun worry k... for the next 2-3mths, likely to remain quite volatile... if you really cant sleep at night, then mayb it's better take the loss now... if you dun need the funds now, mayb leaving it there now is better...think abt it, let me know anytime if I can be of help! Take care"
What a week.... and probably the next few weeks to come....
Luckily the boss is off my back for the moment! Pheww....
But why oh Why.... the company has yet to adjust our Sales Target?!
Market Good - Raise Sales Target!
Market Bad - Maintain Sales Target! "That's what distinguish a Good Sales Person!"
But but... what if u know that market's still going to go down further?! How can u ask people to put in their money now?! That's that mean I am a Good Sales Person (good Persuasive skills) or I am a less ethical Sales Person?
