Each flower has its onw own time to bloom
Hello Everybody! Good evening!
Who am I? Where did I come from? And Where should will I go? Yeah, these three philosophical questions come came to my mind when I prepared this speech.
After I went out of the graduated from college, I came here, to Qingdao, to start my career life. Today I will share some story stories about my first job. My first job is was telemarketing. It is really a job that is full of challenging, adventurous, painful and fun. Each day, we are were required to make at least 100 calls and the total time on phone could not be not less than 2 hours. If you have no performance within three months, you will be fired.
As a person keen on face-saving, how can I accept the truth that I will be fired by others? so I made a promise to myself: Make the first order within one month otherwise quit this job.
As a new comer, I have had no any skills on how to make the an effective call, how to communicate with strange customers, what all I can could do is pick up the phone and make a call. So each day I keep calling, one after another. Once, I even made 200 calls in one day.
I remember once, I called to a customer, I keep talking and talking. saying and saying. And the The customer has no any had no chance to get in a word. After five minutes, I finished my introduction, and said to him: "Sir would you like to use our product now?" I guess thought he must be interested in our products since he spends so long time to listened to me so long. While Well, guess what he said: "Little girl, you speak so fast, I totally do did not understand what you said." Opps, Oops! Anyway, I was grateful to for his suggestion. And then I kept keep calling again.
Yeah, even though most of the time I was rejected, while i I am was so eager to get my first order, so I keep kept calling. I learned from doing. On the 21 twenty first day of my work, the miracle happened. I did get my first order. I did it. And I was so happy. My colleague said: "Wow! Amazing! Lucky dog!" Yeah, I am so lucky. Yeah, I am not the smartest, but I was the first person to get an order in the shortest time.
This is me. A person, learning after by doing. By action, I get what I want. I am getting closer to the person I want to be. And last, I would like share one sentence: Each flower has it is own special time to bloom. Some flower may bloomed in early spring, some bloomed in summer or autumn, and I believe there are also have many person people like me, learning after doing, we may bloomed in winter, even late, but we are still beautiful, do you agree? Thank you.
Good job Mary! I enjoyed reading about your job as a telemarketer. You are a good writer.
Have a blessed day.
