My first time being promoter...

Posted by honeypanda Thursday, July 1, 2010 comments (0)

a friend of mine introduced me to a company called Epromode.. the company trains ppl to be as promoter... those u see at supermarket during weekends, aunty masak masak asking ppl to try or those girls trying to promote their products, but we just care of drinking and thinking of getting another cup... haha...

so i went for the basic training, trained us what is proper attire, what should we do when on duty, how to handle different customers, what time should we be there before work, how will the client of the brand pretend as customers and suddenly come to spot check... haha... they even showed photos of good and bad examples... hope i will not be posted up there as bad examples 1 day... lol..

ok, guess wat is my first project? alpo dog food! i rear cats, and im selling dog food.. ok la, i know nothing big la... there's the project i can take before my sem starts, so might as well have a try out... haha.. so after i accept the job, im needed to go for product training before i can really promote it... and each time u go for the product training, u have to role play as customer and promoter then vice versa... so memorise the script on the spot and blah it out... haha..

that's the alpo dog food, im promoting for Alpo juicy bites, we also need to know about other range... crap...

my job is in carrefour subang... for 2 weeks, 19th, 20th and 26th, 27th... the first day , i need to find the staff entrance, hell, its hard to find, i asked the guard and she said go parking lot then walk here walk there then will reach.. yea right, like i know what was she talking about... lol... i have not been in carrefour like 10 years, how could i know... lol... anyways, i found it with my dad accompanying me... hehe... then passed through the guard, they gave me the promoter pass, and i can go in...

after that, i need to go find the cage... yes, they called it cage, its where all the samples and booth are.. luckily i dun have booth for this project, so i dun need to set up the booth, i just got my samples, and went up to second floor where my products were with another promoter... its not as easy as wat i thought at first... cause my place is in second floor, so quite, like no body knows unless they really shop often here to buy cat and dog foods.. i saw down stairs were so busy and hectic, dunno i consider lucky or unlucky... haha..

took by my friend while she went groccery shopping with her mum.. sa po...

next to the dog foods are those furnitures, tables and chair... customers even mistaken me as the carrefour staff cause i wore red like them... keep asking me "errmm, this furniture got delivery or not?" or "mana ni punya display ar?" or "excuse me, where can i find towels?" answer to all question, i dunno !! lol... of course i didnt said that, just instead answered them "sorry miss/sir, im not sure, maybe u can ask those carrefour staff there?" haha...

so most of the time, i will just stand there wait till customer come, then i promote my Alpo juicy bites ! its a new product, it contain blah blah blah... they want or dun want also say thank you with a smile... bler... haha.. quite bored there though... always looking at my watch, the time really passed very very slow... so i started counting songs... 1 song is about 3 to 4 minutes, so if lets say 2 songs pass means i have just passed 8 minutes... how sad !!

lagi sad is day 2... my handphone kena kept by the guard... supposed handphones are not allowed in, but its not safe to be in the hands of guards too right... 1 of the promoter that work with me said some guards dun check but got 1 indian lady guard, she check very strictly... first day i took it in, cause no one check me and she is not on duty... but day 2, unfortunately, i met her, she asked me ada handset ka and i said dun have.. she check my body, then saw my file, she asked me to open... die... i kept it in the file, thought no body will know... haih.. she saw it... lol.. then she took the handphone and put it in the locker... the next week, i asked my parents to bring it in for me and pass to me when i work... lol..

i was so happy on the last day, thinking its the last day, i need not to stand there like a rock anymore... haha... just passed all my reports and the shirt to my supervisor yesterday, hope i can get my cheque as soon as possible.. wweeeeee.... 4 days experience of being promoter...
