很多业务员认为自己很努力工作,我会说:“你很努力吗?可是你并没有讲话讲到嘴巴流血呀。”
我天生乐观,记得小时候跟别人打架,打到上下排牙齿都掉了,妈妈看到我的模样,心疼地哭了起来,可是我依旧很快乐。妈妈不解地问我为什么?我说:“牙齿都掉了,我从今以后就不用刷牙了。”
从事行销业,我们没有摆臭脸的资格,每天都要笑脸迎人。微笑是会传染的,只要你带着微笑,别人也会对你微笑,气氛就会跟着改变,所以人要尽可能地微笑,把欢乐传给别人。
煮锅绿豆天天吃
我的第一份工作是在福特汽车当会计,工作起来驾轻就熟,可是我做得并不快乐。我宁可多绕点远路,也不要在一个我不喜欢的地方工作一辈子。亲友听说我离职了,都觉得很不可思议,但我认为如果不能找到适才适性的工作,这辈子绝对不会快乐。
科学家会发明东西,艺人会表演唱歌,那是他们的专长,那我的专长是什么?我左思右想,发现我的专长就是福特汽车最不喜欢我的地方——我很爱讲话。老板常瞪着我说:“Leon,我是雇你来工作,不是来讲话的。你可不可以不要讲话,不要影响别人上班?”
当我面试新工作时,我告诉每个老板我喜欢讲话,他们一听都笑了。再问我除了讲话还有没有其他要求?I say I don't like complex administrative work, so I hope there is less of it, and I can talk from morning till night, and have the best treatment. Each boss heard this and laughed with their teeth falling out.
虽然I always look for a job that matches my specialty, but I never give up until my pocket is left with only 27 dollars.
My friend told me to stop eating McDonald's every day because money will run out soon. So I bought a big bag of green beans and boiled them continuously for three or four days.
I applied to 300 companies, but each boss thought I was just joking. Only one CEO of a securities company took me seriously and asked if what I said was true? Do you really want to find a job where you can talk all day long? Do you really want to find a job with almost no administrative tasks? Do you really want a high salary?
He hugged me tightly and excitedly said: "That's what we've been looking for! You're here now! Come in tomorrow."
The next day, he explained why he wanted me on his team. He gave me the task of making 500 phone calls every day. From 6:30 pm to the last call at around midnight. The recorder showed how many calls i made every time i finished calling someone else would answer my call by then they are already half asleep when they finally wake up from sleep due to loud noise coming from outside as glass shattered everywhere while others were trying hard not open their eyes in order not let any light come into room which caused everyone who saw him scream loudly scared people ran away quickly without saying anything about getting hurt badly after seeing such scary scene happen right before our very own eyes!
But still some people didn't believe that story since it happened too fast so quickly before anyone could react or do something against him; therefore many believed that must be an exaggeration - maybe exaggerated version - rather than truth itself even though other witnesses also confirmed having seen those things happening right there in front us yet most still did believe he had done nothing wrong despite knowing full well how dangerous situation became during those moments when lots more harm might have occurred if we hadn’t taken action immediately upon realizing danger existed around us then acting swiftly & appropriately taking charge ourselves (as responsible citizens) while ensuring safety above everything else always comes first above personal feelings/emotions/etc., etc., etc...
