For the pass four days working at PC Show 2009 I encounter different customer once again. Majority of them are friendly as usual, some are typically Singaporean, some are unreasonable and there are some really funny. It was tired working at the endless show for four days. This kind of show really require lots of determination and energy to rise your voice in an appropriate way so as to communicate with customer. I admit some of the customer I serve really make me on fire, but end of the day in order to close sale, self control is needed.
During the first day, sale was bad due to stress on hitting my target. The faster I want to close sale, the lesser sale I get. Therefore I learnt to talk crap with customer and really work. Win-win situation, happy ending. Thinking back, although I close less unit during day 1 but majority of the unit were high end model.
Furthermore, the next day sale increase but lesser on high end model. Third day on the weekend, promoter increase more competition. There is a deal on hitting 30 units each unit addition $1 and none of the promoter manage to hit. Therefore the last day same deal on hitting 30 units but each unit addition $2. Wow, which means $60 for sure if I hit. Luck changes for me and I make it. Sunday was indeed many people till you have problem walking.
I personally can feel that Epson is growing and developing well competing with Canon Pixma. Words of mouth from consumer were better and more people FINALLY aware of Epson the old brand. Projector still number one which bring up the name of Epson. Heard from management that we won a number of award in best promoter, design award, best selling during show and more. During the weekend, there was announcement that a VIP will be coming down to see the Epson booth from Japan.
Wow I have to end off with people looking for printers, please beware of the words from the sale person. They normally like to say Epson print-head on the printer itself with is easily spoilt. In fact they are pushing the negative put to Epson. The fact will be a thermal print-head or known as bubble-jet easier to get spoilt because they using heat transfer so common sense tell you the print-head have a period of changing it. Therefore they said their print-head are attach with the ink, so you change ink equal change print-head, from their mouth they said better. Actually why Epson so different from them, because they invented a new technology called on-demand inkjet or known as piezoelectric which is using electricity to control the ink being push out so there isn't a need to change print-head, much more durable unlike old print-head thermal. (Epson use to use thermal last time, but change ever since new technology invented) If you think it doesn't make sense, then you can check it out on their brochure under printer technology or research. This is also the reason why Canon speed is alway slower than Epson. Brother, HP also slower but Canon slowest. Go and see this two brand speed, Canon mostly less than 30. Some time it is easier to listen shortcut than the fact cause harder to explain.
