Company require us to meet up with our manager
to discuss our new year plan, how to improve performance and such, then we had
a day training.
So I went in to see my manager's manager's manager to discuss my "career", he is a nice guy holding a PHD in phiolophy, deep thinker...
Since my performance did not go so well in the last 6 months, he needed to talk to me and see what is going on.
I explain I have problem adjusting my brain to this new envirnoment, and the most fundamental problem is it is hard for me accepting my job position is a salesman, which I have never thought it would be.
There are a lot of reason, and of course it includes I was educated in England, and my family value myself very high, and this job can basically fit everyone, from freshly graduate from high school to PHD holder. I would expect I should be someone more "important" than a regular salesman after my education background.
As expected this manager have to resolve my issue.
He told me he sees himself as a educator (obviously), I think there were few good points to make me feel better.
In someway all of us are keep selling something in our life, when we say nice things or we chase after skirts, we are selling ourself as a good person or a good boyfriend.
CEO need to sold and present his ability as a management material.
And we all sell ourselves when we do job interview.
Obama sold the concept of "change" successfully, he did not even get to mention what is the contents of "change"? at least our policy clearly states how much will our client get after certain years, and people buy that idea and the whole country embrace himself.
I can even say my dad is selling Jesus and salvation all his life as a preacher.
I finally start to understand and pay respect to this job and not influence by the social value about salesmen, its function and conept lies within us, the only problem is I need to be surethe product I am selling are good for the clients, there is nothing to feel ashame of.
I hope I will be better this year, even I have said that, I want to get on to management levels asap because my strength do not lie in selling but management.
p.s. i did not want to debate with my manager, there is different between salesman and obama, the amercian do not have to pay money now, that's much easier :)
