Sometimes my job can be describe with such analogy.
There are 5 electricity retailers in the market,each offering electricity in a special,attractive package.

Currently on Seraya Cruise(my company) are me n my colleagues doing all the fishing.
Of coz there are other pple,but those are doing other stuffs..whatever fishing involved.
We are not too concern about the other "ships" but this one other cruise. --Sembcorp.

Competition amg us is very fierce and intense.

So every day,fishers like us would throw our bait into the vast big ocean.
That is to mean making phone calls to company,hoping to fax quotations over.
2nd step is hoping that they will be interested enough to taste ur bait.
Aka willing to fax bills over and let you do comparison chart.

Usually this step would take some time coz those "fishes" would hardly fax their bills over on time.Sometimes need to call and remind for weeks,sometimes they would just decide not to fax over.
So you have to be careful with the strength of ur line.
Dun pull it too hard or the line will snap and a potential fish will slip back to the ocean.

But sometimes it is just kinda impatient,coz u cant sit back forever and waiting for them to fax.Which is hardly the case.So soft reminders are needed.

Sometimes u get mellow fishes,which are nice to u (on the phone)la.
Sometimes u get v nasty fishes,which is one of that I mentioned a few entries ago.
Sometimes u get blur fishes but those are often the greedy ones as well.
They couldnt see for the long term basis,thinking saving $100 plus to 200 per mth is quite lil.
But they fail to think that by a year,they are actually saving a mth of what they are paying right now.

So these are the norms.

SOMETIMES..these are the times that u r idiot to let go,and must really hold on to ur line and pull agressively.

I mean:
There are fishes that automatically bite ur bait.
Note that these are actually BIG FISHES.
But usually big fishes are not stupid fishes.
They are tasting other fishers' baits as well.

I have got a few of such big fishes.
And today I witnessed one.
I passed on my hook to my team manager--Jade,who got more experience,talking power and strength.

Of coz our competitor is SembCorp.
Though our fish is a big one,but she is still a layman in this industry.
We are very agressive when it comes to S.Corp,it's an insult to Seraya if we lose to them.
And evil S.Corp pollutes the fish's brains and that fish throws back everything that she heard to Jade.

It is rather exciting to see the tug war.
I believe once S.Corp heard our quotation would risk herself to slash even lower,which is insane and of no gain to S.Corp herself.

Of coz I do want to win back this fish!
If the fish is won,its my first deal and a big deal!

*pray pray*

crossing every heart muscles and pray hard
