The most stressful thing about being in the sales industry is the pressure of hitting your sales target. Your performance is always evaluated by the amount of sales you bring in to the company. Although you can do everything else right, if you do not achieve your target, nothing else matters.
Last month i was put on tremendous pressure. I know my confirmation was due and i really need to achieve the target if i was going to make it. This was briefly how last month went...
JULY 2008 SALES TARGET: RM 238,000.
As of:
24th JULY 2008 > RM 163,614 (one week left to bring in 75K, sounds so impossible unless i managed to bring in RM10K everday of next week!)
28th JULY 2008 > RM 195,564 (Managed only to bring in RM 31,950 for the past 3 working days, but at least achieved RM10K each day).
29th JULY 2008 > RM 204,944 (Bring in RM 9,380 sales yesterday, didn't hit RM10K mark).
30th JULY 2008 > RM 208,624 (only managed to bring in RM4K sales yesterday. With tomorrow as the last day, really can only hope for a miracle to happen...short of RM29, 376 to hit my target in ONE day!!!).
31th JULY 2008 > RM 243,114 (MIRACLE really happened after all the extreme hard work i put in. Managed to grab RM 34,490 on the FINAL day!!! Achieved 102% of my sales target!).
I feel so proud of myself with this achievement that is so exhilariting i was so pretty confident that i will get my confirmation after i know i did everything i could to achieve my target.
In this one week, i didn't really had any lunch. Just go all out to grab sales from whoever i think of who will be able to help me. I really want to thank all my A class customers who had helped me achieve my 75K sales that i needed so badly to achieve my target. To me, it might just be a figure to achieve my target, but for them...they really took out cold hard cash to helped me out and make it happened). For that, i really felt so grateful to them.
