ive been workin here at our company for almost 4mos and im very much guilty of not workin my ass so hard here but instead being a so called burden pa .... i have plans of resigning due to that reason. hindi ko alam pero lagi akong tinatamad na magtrabaho. is it bcoz of my boss? is it bcoz of my officemate? or is it just bcoz of me being too lazy to work? ayokong masanay yung sarili ko na maging unproductive o maging tamad, what if one day tawagan ako ng isang kompayang malaki at i-hire ako. i dont want to look like a fool!!! estupid!!! at tatamad-tamad. i was never like this, when i was in ePLDT ive never been lazy, nanginginig na ang tuhod ko kapag alam kung late ako. tinatapos ko ang work ko everyday coz i know ako rin naman ang mahihirapan evetually. but dito sa tridel, di ko pa ginawa yun (siguro nung mga unang araw). guilty talaga ako!!! let me tell you bout my work
background lang naman i do sales over the phone, we sell internet connection whether it be dial-up, dsl, website builder and sort basta related to internet. not bad diba? and also there is a huge market for our product. but its still really hard to sell one .. why? thats the big question? here is my analogies kung bakit mahirap:
1. Competiton - una na dyan yung mga big telco's na talagang mas malaki at mabigat ang facilities nila.
2. Brand Recognition - kulang sa advertisement ang company, one is from a radio station tuwing 8am sa isang di ganun kasikat na fm station at wala pa atang 15mins yung ad. napakinggan ko na yun at walang kadating-dating parang announcement lang. you wont even recognize na internet service and ina-advertise. also they have an ex-deal with manila bulletin, na once in a while naglalabas ng ad sa broadsheet nila. i once asked my boss bout it. she told me that instead of spending money putting up billboards, commercials etc... they'll hire people na lang. kasi nga the only way that they promote there product is by "words of mouth" ... which is the cheapest but para sa akin ang hindi pinaka effective. why? first of all hindi lahat ng naging client mo will say good things about your product and once manyari yun sasabihin nya yun sa kaibigan nya at yung kaibigan nya sasabihin sa kapitbahay nya and so on ....
3. Price - our unlimited connection is P650 versus our competition na may presyong ranging to P250 to P450....
sigh and the company dont want to lower their price. their reasons ; (1) ayaw nilang maging low class; (2) malulugi ang company; (3) hanggang dun na lang ang kayang ibaba ng price. my reaction, hindi nga ganun kakilala yung product ayaw mo pang babaan yun price.... sus!!!!
4. Product Bypassing (kung meron man nito) -naglabas sila ng prepaid card. P100 for 30 hrs of internet at may free offpeak hours from 12MN to 6am. kung ako yung tipikal na customer who doesnt use internet that much i wont sign up for a postpaid account ill just use the card. ang masama pa nito most of the clients that we offer internet are from businesses who belong to small and medium scale, na malamang hindi madalas gumamit ng net. pag nalaman nila may card na kami they would prefer getting the card, instead of signing up with a postpaid acount at ang pinakamalupit dito, same line lang din ang tinatakbuhan ng line at prepaid. so thats means pareho lang ng quality!!! nagaagawan ng market share yung prepaid and postpaid nila ...
sighwhat am i trying to imply here??? "RISK" they have to take risk if they want to stay in the market, besides the service is good. ako binigyan nila ako ng 15 hours free every month and i havent encountered any problem with it at mabilis and connetction pumapatak na 55Kbps ... they just need to make the brand known, tamed there price a bit (if possible) e kasi pagkilala na naman ang product nila they can increase it na eventually ... let me wrap this up baka humaba pa. here is a story ... wehehe. i have a friend workin at pacific internet
direct competition nakasabay ko sya sa dyip, syempre bilang old buddies nagtanungan kami kung saan kami work? i told her sa dito nga sa company 'ito.... akala ko naman may idea na siya bout our company kasi nga we are selling the same service, but instead sabi nya lang "Saan yun?? anong nature ng business nyo??? *wapak* ngek!!! sinabi ko sa kanya we are selling internet just like their company. she told me she never heard of our product. nakakalungkot even the competiton doesnt know that we exist. tsktsktsk .... i have the same encounter with another friend na nagwowork sa mozcom. but i wont tell you bout it na kasi pareho lang sila ng sinabi .....
