My name is Wang Chi, I am 28 years old this year, with a well-proportioned figure, a handsome face, often wearing a suit and leather shoes, and I have the temperament of a business elite. However, being handsome doesn't fill my stomach, and this has been a problem for me for a long time. Currently, I am working as a marketing manager in an interior decoration design company, and in the face of a highly competitive market environment, I have to go out and find business in person for the survival and development of the company.
That day, I had just finished running a newly delivered community, and I was happily driving back to the company. As I passed a row of street shops, I noticed a group of people busy in a few rough shops, gesturing with rulers, and one of them pointing with a drawing. The acumen of my profession made me realize that this group of people was most likely looking for a decorator.
I quietly observed their every move and noticed that there were two representatives of the renovation company, a salesman and a designer. Among the other three, there is a middle-aged man, a young man, and a woman with an elegant temperament. From their interactions, it is clear that this woman is supposed to be the decision-maker.
Soon, two people from the renovation company left, and the remaining three stayed where they were to continue the discussion. I stared at the backs of the two departing men until they disappeared from sight, and then I pushed the door and got out of the car. I straightened my neckline and walked over with a pretended composure. I pretended to pass by, and naturally asked, "Are you here to rent a shop?" ”
They looked at me, and the middle-aged man politely replied, "It's rented, and I'm looking at how the decoration is designed." Are you here to rent a shop? With a surprised look on my face, I responded, "That's a coincidence, I'm from the renovation company." I just measured a few suites in the community over there, and I was about to go back. ”
The middle-aged man glanced at the woman, and she nodded slightly. The man then turned to me and said, "Meeting is also fate, then little brother, can you help me see how these stores are designed?" "I asked them what type of store they planned to open, and after some communication, I learned that they planned to open a 200-square-meter mother and baby products store, but the budget was only about 300,000 yuan.
Although this budget was a bit disappointing for me, I knew that it meant that I would only get a few thousand dollars in commission, which was much lower than I had originally estimated. However, in line with the principle of putting the customer first, I patiently introduced the design plan to them and surveyed the dimensions on the spot. When I returned to the company, I had the company's designers make the design drawings and renderings for them.
In the process of following up this project, I actively invited the other party to come to the company to modify the design drawings and see the renderings. However, the other party is very picky, and the whole plan makes our designers a little headache. Nevertheless, I managed to negotiate and finalize the design.
However, just when I thought everything was going smoothly, the other party suddenly proposed to cut the budget to 200,000. This made me very frustrated, because the gap was so great that even the selection of inferior materials would not meet their requirements. The negotiations reached an impasse, and I asked the other party to communicate several times, but they no longer responded to my messages.
I was very frustrated by this dilemma. However, life is always full of uncertainties. A few weeks later, I was contacted out of the blue and offered to sign the contract. At that moment, I felt the joy of regaining what I had lost.
On the day the contract was signed, the woman also came. Her name is Yu Yun, and she writes well. In her eyes, I saw the recognition of me. She praised: "Xiao Wang, you are very good!" "I was a little flattered by that.
Although the renovation contract had been signed and the project manager would take over the follow-up work, I still did my best to inspect the site and solve many problems in detail. The construction period was completed on schedule, the finished product effect was excellent, and the other party was very satisfied. I've also been able to get my commission for a few months.
To my surprise, Yu Yun suddenly invited me to dinner in the evening to express her gratitude to me. Since adding her on WeChat, we have never chatted. I didn't expect her to invite me to dinner. It was a pleasant conversation that night, and we talked a lot about work and life. Through her sharing, I learned that she used to be an entrepreneur with big dreams, but now she has chosen a more stable lifestyle for the sake of her family and children.
That night's dinner made me cherish every communication with my clients even more. Because every sincere effort may reap unexpected rewards. Life is like that, full of unknowns and surprises. As long as we feel and work hard with our hearts, we will definitely be able to find our own happiness and satisfaction in it.
