The Day in the life of a Marketing & Salesperson

I choose to post this youtube clip first ... in the hope that you will watch this Super UBer Funny Clip before you read the entry .... DUN WASTE IT ... UBER Funny Clip !!

Had an uber Good day today ... everything went well and smooth ....

Attended my 1st ever Microsoft Partners' Event with SiS Technologies today . I have been working on & off @ SiS Technologies Pte Ltd for a year liaoz .. and I have been calling the resellers , knowing them by names & not faces ... So I FINALLY GOT TO MEET SOME OF THEM TODAY !!

It was an eye opener event ...with many distributors , sponsors, resellers attending the Microsoft Brief ... we had a mini Lucky Draw , and the resellers would come to our booth to redeem our prizes .. and that gave me the chance to know them better , putting a face to their names ...

Of Special Mention was Mr Micah Heng from X-net . He was really amazing .. He took the initiative to approach me and said : " You are Marcus right ? " I am Mr Micah.

I was taken aback and pleasantly surprised. Spoke to Mr Micah face to face sometime back , but I forgot his face ..

And to top it up ... after 4 hours of boring Microsoft briefings ... Mr Micah actually came back to bid me Goodbye .. and told me to " take care of myself." Sounds like no big deal u may think. But the fact that he took the effort to remember me .. a PART-TIMER ... and even came back to personally wave me Goodbye .. really warmed my heart alot ... All the hard work calling the resellers have not gone to waste !

Had a good idea looking around @ the IT industry .. looking @ the marketing people do their PR ... looking @ the sales people pitching for their products ..and of course had a great time interacting with my resellers .. And it was another chance for me to hone my Inter-personal skills again .. to bravely speak to strangers ... I guess I have no problem with speaking to strangers .. as I have previously promoted Dopod phones ...

Went Lunch with Veron @ Marina Sq .. Very Different feeling as I always wenT MS in the nights .. Lunch crowd was full of Office Execs .. and the view @ the food court looking out to Marina Prom .. was really great ...

Feeling of working is juz sOoO DiFFerenT ... So DiFFerenT from School ..

Got myself a very nice fitting Microsoft Polo-Tee & Haversack ... courtesy of Our Greatest Rivals hahah and also from Microsoft ... Ended work Happily ... Nice ...

Had a good day @ the arcades too ... went to Marina Sq to play Sega After Burner Climax ... I managed to clear Stage 6 on 1 Credit !! I crashed and burned @ Stage 7 ... but I was really So excited as this is the first time that I managed to clear 6 stages without " being taken off the skies "
