telesales ...zzzz..*yawn~~~

ok...its my 9th working day in my office and i already got my paycheck...its just so funny when the amount i received is just a little less than my average salary in my previous telesales company. I dun know until now why i can actually stayed there for 8 months. But i have to admit, in the last 8 month i spend there...i've learned so much about myself. The story is ...i was an executive in a giant oil and gas company in msia . I have to be politically correct now to avoid stepping on any toes. I am not fond of the culture there. They overemployed staff. I know its generous but thats just like giving away free money to undeserving ppl. (for the records, i am thedeserving one) . Cut story short, i left after 2.5 years to pursue what i really like, fashion. Lol, just kidding. I cant even dress well myself. I want to pursue IT consultation because thats always been my interest. However, due to my engineering background, i was rejected left and right. Desperately seeking for a job, i thought to myself, y not sales? money is unlimited. So, applied for the telesales, got the job.

My 8 months in the telesales is like a bootcamp. I joined with tonnes of energy to earn money and i already start dreaming of spending it here and there. My god...in my life, i never experience this kind of environment. Its tense, you HAVE to be on the phone from 8-5. And my boss is a fucking controller/dictator/fucker. You know since i quit the oil company to look for more challenges, i see this as challenge 10x. We have targets to set and achieve and if you dun, you have to answer his questions which apparently has only one answer-Its you!!! You are an idiot. I stay coz i never had someone who actually patronize me and expect the best from me. Yup, so , in this period, i managed to learned a lot in terms of disciplines (if there is such subject, i will fail miserably), selling and most of all, pretending. For the records, i managed to get top sales for few weeks, so my point is i am a talented person!!! :p
Its just so funny thinking back. Since we are expected to pick up the phone at 830am sharp, at times where i dun feel like pitching in the morning. Few of my award winning conversations are, in a dialog format:

Me: Hi, good morning mr xxxx . This is XXXX calling from XXXX with regards to XXXXXXX.
XX: Yes, but i already spoke to you yesterday saying i am not interested.
Me: You are interested??? Thats great!! (i said it aloud to show off to my boss)
XX: No , i am not interested at all.
ME: Whats your email then? i will proceed to sent u the details.
XX: (Hangs up)
Me: IC...its xxxx@cxxxx.com . OK, will sent it to you right away and i will call u back tomorrow. Thanks for your time. BYE.

Sometimes, to avoid calling and have someone picks up...what i normally do is to call the Europe's number in the morning. Of coz no one will pick up...I will do this for 1 hr until my mood is back.

After 8 months, i felt that enough is enough...i have more talents and potential to be used elsewhere than just sitting on the phone and being patronize by Hitler. I am going to do well here in my new company. I can feel it already!
