One Hell of a Week!

The week has finally ended. Come to think of it, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

Just so you know, I wasn’t able to set an appointment with anyone, but I agreed with our Sales Manager (SM) that we’d ambush visit my cousin for the Ayala Hillside Estate (AHE) project. However, she soon became too busy to do so. And I don’t know if she’d still have any time for that since she’ll be going to the US on Wednesday as an incentive for her work last year. I should be happy ‘coz no one’s gonna watch my every move anymore. But for some odd reason, I’m not. After our briefing this morning, I sincerely wish she could go with me and help me deal with the walk-ins I got from my Serendra manning. Perhaps if she’s there, it would be easier to close the sale.

Speaking of my Serendra manning, I honestly can’t believe I survived that! I went to the office last Thursday, not knowing I was scheduled to man Serendra that day. So in a hurry, I went to the Serendra Model Units located in Fort Bonifacio since I was terribly late already. It was a good thing one of my office mates was going to Makati and offered me a ride. The better thing was he suggested to the SM that Marg goes with me. I hate being left alone without a clue on what to do and what to expect!

From that manning alone, I got 3 prospects. They seemed quite interested in the project but I felt that I really flopped in my presentation. I wish the SM could have briefed me much earlier so as I would have known how I should have dealt with them. I still have to follow them up, probably on Monday. I wish I won’t lose the confidence and knowledge I gained from the briefing we had by then.

Yesterday, we had our first Gen Meet (General Meeting) which includes all Sales Teams of Ayala Land Sales. Meaning: all the Property Specialists (PS), Sales Managers, Sales Directors, and the General Manager. I’ve been dreading this day since all of us new PS’s were supposed to introduce ourselves in front of all those present—and that would be around 100 people more or less. Thank God I didn’t faint!

After the meeting which was held in Tower 1, we went to Tong Yang for lunch and decided not to go back to the office after that. Rather, Marg and I went to Glorietta and watched Princess Diaries. The movie was nice, but I can’t help feeling guilty! Argh! My mind kept bugging me about the clients I should have followed up with the time I’m spending there. Double argh!

Tomorrow’s the start of another week. I can’t believe my first month is up so soon. I’ve got 2 more months left to close two sales or else… Well, you know what’s bound to happen. At this point, I still refuse to be stressed out about all these. But frankly, I don’t know how long I’d cope.
