Workplace reviews and discussion: 光展應材股份有限公司

If the company’s products were the cheapest and best quality, would it even need salespeople?

So you learn how to -> visit prospects, make sales pitches, maintain customer relationships, negotiate prices, and handle complaints.

In short, you have to find ways to sell at a good profit while minimizing returns from customers.

If you don’t communicate with your supervisor, when will you ever do it?

So you smooth out your own rough edges, learn to be humble, and begin to understand how to respect your elders and those worthy of respect~

The point is to turn unreasonable demands into opportunities for growth.

If you think everything the customer says is right, then why don’t you jump from the sixteenth floor?

So you learn to distinguish truth from falsehood. You become more careful, but ironically also more timid.

It’s just like being a detective~very enjoyable.

If you don’t know poetry, music, and literature; appreciate cars or wine; or understand astronomy, history, and geography, how could you possibly earn your boss’s trust?

So you begin to regret not studying when you were young, and understand the importance of graduating from a prestigious school after entering the workforce.

Sometimes, appearance and background are also a kind of professional ability.

If you’re single, can’t attract women, and have no appreciation from the opposite sex, do you think you’re qualified to be a salesperson?

So you begin to improve yourself and understand that men are the mainstay of society and how important careers are to men.

Salespeople have to know how to attract women, so you begin paying more attention to your appearance and grooming. In addition to working hard overtime, you also exercise to maintain your physical fitness.

Gradually, you grow from a young newcomer just entering society into a man.

Think about it: do you want just a job, or could you change your mindset and see it as someone paying you to learn how to trade and do business?

But as time goes by, you may feel that your hard work and what you receive are not proportional. After building up your abilities, you may eventually leave to start your own business.

Unfortunately, apart from the original veterans and parachuted-in managers, no salesperson has currently stayed with the company for more than five years.

In other words, new hires come and go in batches~if someone doesn’t last a year, it shows they aren’t resilient enough, and they basically need to make a quick decision within a few months.

If you have already stayed for more than a year, congratulations—you’re considered a senior now. It is recommended that you endure a few more years; there are good opportunities ahead.

The company’s biggest weakness right now is probably its weak younger generation and the overly large gap between generations. Just when someone has been trained well enough to go into battle, they leave after only a few years.

Of course, this is more of a management-level issue. Senior management also needs to think carefully about whether its approach to managing young people needs to be adjusted.
