At noon, Tian Mo and Zhuang Dong, who had changed their appearance, finished eating in the mall and returned to the store again.
To celebrate, Tian Mo also specially treated Zhuang Dong to a buffet barbecue. The two of them had mouths full of oil and were in a good mood.
After being carefully dressed up by a stylist, Zhuang Dong finally looked like a human being.
Of course, there can't be too earth-shaking changes. After all, people's temperament is innate. The subtle movements shown in every gesture cannot be changed overnight, and it is impossible for stylists to spend so much time correcting these subtle postures.
.
But just judging from the way he is dressed, Zhuang Dong is no longer the naive and silly-looking young man, and his overall impression has been greatly improved.
After the two had lunch, they returned to the store and then officially opened for business.
Although today is Saturday, there is a lot of traffic in the mall, but the location of this store is not considered a prime location on this floor, and the sign at the door is too low-key, so not many people come here for the time being.
Tian Mo was still sitting upright at the beginning, looking prepared, but he soon collapsed.
A few customers passed by the door, but they just took a casual look into the store and left, seemingly not too interested.
Tian Mo was a little bored.
He thought for a moment, then handed the small book with the rules written on it to Zhuang Dong and asked him to read it slowly and memorize it.
Zhuang Dong felt as if he had found a treasure. He held the small notebook very religiously, then found a seat inside and sat down, reading it very seriously.
Tian Mo turned on the TV, flipped through the physical game discs, and finally selected "Struggle" and started playing.
What he considered was that "Struggle", as an interactive movie game, does not require too much concentration to play and can be stopped at any time, which is convenient for greeting guests in time when they arrive; and the game's graphics are also good, which can leave customers with a lasting impression.
Next good impression.
After playing for a while, a customer finally came in.
Tian Mo immediately put down the controller and stood up to receive the reception.
The customer who came to the store was a man in his thirties, wearing a leather jacket and looking like he was not short of money.
He casually picked up a display machine from the counter and asked: "Do you sell mobile phones? What brand? Why have I never seen your store before?"
Tian Mo quickly replied: "This is an OTTO mobile phone, which is a mobile phone developed by Tenda Group. We are a Tenda store and we sell all Tenda products."
The eldest brother suddenly said: "Oh! I just said that the sign at the door looks familiar. Tenda actually opened a store. It's not bad. How much does this phone cost? Is it the price on the price tag? Are there any discounts?"
Tian Mo couldn't help but be secretly happy, I know this question! Mr. Pei taught me!
He immediately answered truthfully: "Sorry, there is no discount. And I don't recommend you to buy it now at all, because this is a model more than a year ago, the configuration is a bit outdated in all aspects, and the price/performance ratio is not high. Buying now is a huge loss."
.”
The eldest brother looked up at him and almost thought he heard wrongly.
“Don’t recommend buying? It’s a huge loss to buy now?”
"You are really interesting. This is the first time I see you doing business like this."
The elder brother put down the phone. In fact, he just asked casually and had no intention of actually buying it. What's more, the clerk himself said that this phone was a product more than a year ago. Isn't it crazy to still buy it?
The elder brother took a casual look in the store again and saw the fully automatic bar lifting machine again.
"What is this?"
Tian Mo immediately introduced: "This is called a 'fully automatic bar lifter'. Its main function is to lift the bar, and its secondary function is to be used as an echo wall. Let me demonstrate..."
Fortunately, Tian Mo had already roughly understood the usage of these products in the store in advance, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing to check the instructions on the spot.
Obviously, this big brother doesn't know much about Tenda's products.
This is also normal, because although these products of Tenda are relatively popular on the Internet, they mainly have a greater impact on young people. People like this brother who are in their thirties, forties or even older may have only heard of them.
With the name of Tenda Group, most people don’t know much about products such as mobile phones and fully automatic bar lifters.
Tian Mo still said what Mr. Pei said, starting with the shortcomings of the fully automatic bar lifter, saying that the gimmicks of this thing outweigh the substance. If cost-effectiveness is considered, it would be more cost-effective to buy some big-brand soundbars.
The elder brother listened attentively throughout the whole process. After Tian Mo's introduction, he sighed: "This one has problems, that one has shortcomings, why do you think they are all not cost-effective?"
"I don't recommend buying anything like this, right?"
"Then why do you put these things out?"
Tian Mo was speechless for a moment: "Ah, this..."
Yes, according to what Mr. Pei said, it is not recommended to buy this or that. What is the purpose of opening this store?
Tian Mo himself didn’t know why, so how could he explain this to his customers?
The eldest brother saw that Tian Mo was stunned, and he was also happy: "Forget it, I'm just kidding you. I feel like you guys are quite conscientious in selling things. Other salesmen try their best to hide their shortcomings. It would be better for you to deal with the shortcomings first.
To put it bluntly, it sounds a bit like 'the one who wishes will take the bait'."
"Okay, thank you. I'll come back and take a look when you come out with new products."
The elder brother strolled away.
Tian Mo scratched his head and continued to sit down on the sofa and play games.
…
In the blink of an eye, the whole afternoon passed.
Tian Mo looked at his watch and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, the usual off-duty time.
According to Mr. Pei, the sales department's working hours are relatively free, with two weekends off every week and an eight-hour work system. When there are more people, Tian Mo can freely arrange rest days.
Now there are only two people in the entire sales department, Tian Mo and Zhuang Dong, so they can't be so particular. If they arrive late and leave early, Mr. Pei won't hold them accountable, and naturally others can't take care of them either.
There were quite a few people here this afternoon. They basically went to the digital product store on this floor and came to take a look.
But Tian Mo discovered a very embarrassing thing: if you are a young person, most of them know about Tenda products such as OTTO mobile phones and fully automatic bar lifters. If you want to buy them, you have already bought them, and you will not wait until now; and the age
As for the older ones, although they have never heard of these products, after Tian Mo's honest introduction, they have no idea of buying them.
Therefore, throughout the afternoon, the store's turnover was zero.
Not a single thing was sold at all!
Not to mention large items such as mobile phones and fully automatic bar lifters, not even a single game CD has been sold.
There was even an eldest sister who was very angry and criticized Tian Mo because the eldest sister felt that Tian Mo did not introduce the product well and kept saying that this product was not good and that was not good, which was disrespectful to her and left Tian Mo speechless.
This afternoon passed in a haphazard manner.
Zhuang Dong did not interfere with these things. He had been memorizing the guidelines on the sofa in the trial area inside, observing and learning how Tian Mo received customers.
After observing for a while, Zhuang Dong was obviously puzzled.
Although he doesn't know much about sales, he has been buying things since he was a child.
Have you ever seen a salesperson keep talking about the shortcomings of his or her products?
But the principle he was memorizing did indeed require this.
"Brother Dog, I have roughly memorized this rule. But I have a question. Are you sure these are the boss's exact words? Why do I feel so unreliable? Not a single thing was sold all afternoon.
, we failed too much! The boss won’t be angry, right?”
Zhuang Dong was obviously a little confused.
Tian Mo was also confused, but these words were indeed said by Mr. Pei himself. He was 100% sure.
"How about we stop here today, let's have dinner and then go home to rest."
"I have to think carefully about what went wrong. Did I not understand Mr. Pei's true intentions?"
"This afternoon's work was really in vain. I didn't sell anything. I only received a few compliments, saying that our kind of sales are very conscientious and know how to consider customers..."
"But what's the use of compliments? We want to sell as many things as possible!"
Although Tian Mo had already anticipated that he might encounter this embarrassing situation before, he never expected that in a shopping mall with such a large flow of people, not a single thing was sold.
I thought business would be bad, but I didn't expect it to be this bad!
The key is that Mr. Pei also said that let him practice here, and there will be a bigger store waiting for him to take over in the future.
After practicing like this, how can you have the nerve to take over a larger store?
Tian Mo was very frustrated. Now he just wanted to go back and have a good rest and reflect deeply on what went wrong.
There is definitely no problem with Mr. Pei. If you want to blame him, you can only blame your own incompetence.
