Customer Loyalty

Will you be loyal to one particular brand? Only one brand. No matter what other brands can offer, or giving you free gifts, and special discounts.... you still stick to one single brand????

I learn a cruel lesson about customer loyalty today.

No matter what you give, be it your best service, your best smile, your extra effort to send moon cakes over... from KL to JB.. and your customer can even tell you that she ate 70% of the whole box of the moon cakes... it doesn't mean that they are loyal to you.

"Ms xxx ah.... you received my moon cakes?"

" Yeah. I got it. Thanks ah.."

" Good, so how was it? Do you like it? You share with your colleagues?"

" Em.... ya la.. I share but I ate most of it la..."

"Oh ok, thats good. Thanks for all your support. Maybe next year I can get 2 boxes of moon cake for you.. Then you can eat more lor.."

"Sure sure.. Good ah you all. Can give moon cakes to customer. So rich."

" No la.. you support me, I sure think of you one...by the way, when is your next shipment?"

" Oh that one ah.. eh you have to do something with your quotation la. I get so much cheaper from other companies.."

Wtf..... "But you didn't say anything wor. I asked you already..You said ok one."

" Haiya, we don't care whether you give me moon cakes or not. Your price not good, we won't use one. "

"But......"

"No buts. You tell your manager la! Do something then only talk to me!" .... " tut...tut....tut...."

She actually hang up on me. And that is customer loyalty.

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

Crossroads

Life is about choices.. Choices about how you want to run your life, what principles that you hold, what career you are heading in the future. Perhaps, now is a time where tough choices are ahead for me. Both family and friends have their own saying about what is the best. So, what's the best for me? I'm easily influenced by persuasion, and i usually give in easily. Sometimes ever so reluctantly, i followed what people asked or wanted me to do. I do not have much consideration of what I want in the first place. For this, I've been wasting more than a year now, which could easily turned out to be an interesting year for me to proceed to my dreams. A year of frustration, a year of uncertainty, and a year of lost chances. The 6 months in Melaka wasn't the best in my life. Some might say it's just a short period in your life. But in reality, I've lost alot of chances in this 6 months time. Work, study, career, even my relationship. Every person in my life has their

Liars in Training

I was really surprised how young kids at the age of 7 & 8 lied and giving excuses for not handing in their homework. 3 kids today gave me unreasonable and of course unbelievable excuses. Case 1: "I have the book. But when i went to buy drinks in the canteen, someone took my book from my bag. After I go back home to finished the exercise, I couldn't find it.... even my Mum couldn't find it. Really!" "emm hm....?" "But just now, when i reached the class, I found the book in my bag. I dunno how it get there, but i'm really sure that it wasn't there yesterday. Really.." "so...?" "Erm... that's why i didn't finish the exercise, cause it's just not enough time for me to finished it." she said with the sweetest smile u can ever imagine. " Can I call your mum now?" In the shortest moment, the cute little girl burst into tears. There goes the far from perfect lie.. Case 2: " My mum brought me to
