The beginning of a new challenge is always the hardest to cope.. The changes of your normal routine, less time for yourself, less relax is sometimes a challenge by itself.
When I chose to come into this brand new field, I have predicted of these changes. Even though there were only 5 days has passed since I had advertised my first ads last Saturday; it has been a hectic days. The process of calling, arranging the suitable time for viewing and checking on the availability of the units and the travelling is something that I have to do but not something that I enjoy doing… ok I heard someone saying.. who does?
But the stage where we meet the client, talking to them, bringing them to view the units and able to see other people units are ones that I enjoy – so far.. up till I meet some nasty ones! Hope not so soon, but it is predicted to happen, can’t expect everyone to be nice person, can we?
Even though after just a short period, I get to experience in dealing with all types of agents, some secrative ones, some helpful ones and slowly picking up the rules of the game. With my director’s coaching, hopefully I am able to pick up fast. One thing that I have learnt.. I have to be Ka poh, and keep probbing and asking till I get the answers either from the Client or agent, which I had a hard time trying to.. coz I am not a busybody person and I do not try to press people for answers by nature and I have to be both. Realize there are a lot of areas I need to improve of!
Hope over time I will be able to be better.. Even though now I am kind of a little regret of choosing Toa Payoh as my first case study coz now almost everyday I have to bring clients there to view flats and I stay in Ang Mo Kio. Lucky was it was quite near but it is still tire me out…trying to balance my full time and my part time job.
Now all that I can do is… GAMBATTE!
