I was sent on a mission to one of the Apple reseller with the task to observe how reseller works and to also learn to sell the products to the customers.
The logic behind this was…..
Boss: “After all you’re in the sales department, you’ve got to experience some kind of selling isn’t it?”
And so the intern went. Armed with the Apple Product Professional Certification and 5 weeks of using a MacBook Pro I attempted to sell the products. But little did I know, my “qualification” was incomparable to the zai salesperson, John.
The 2 days experience was rather interesting. Met lots of interesting characters …..
Interesting Characters #1
2 Malay uncles who owned PowerBook (the older version of Macbook) and visited the store almost every single day to pick up some more skills about Mac products.
John: Eh uncle, hello here again.
Uncles: Ya. Thinking of buying iMac or MacBook pro.
John: Uncle, MacBook Pro now is only $3088.
Uncles: Ya. Now much cheaper ah.
John: Ya uncle, now don’t buy wait for what. Last year you see it’s $3XXX. Now can buy already uncle.
John told me the uncles visit the store almost every other day for 1 year already. And they never bought anything.

A “friend” of John who purchased products on my first and second day and he is visiting John to buy some other things on Monday.
A product a day makes the man happy each day.

And he walked out in great disappointment and disbelief.
