June 30, 2021, 2:30 a.m., tossing and turning, not interested in sleep.
June 30, the last day of the month, the performance target has not been reached, the recent performance has been bad, is the ability to meet the bottleneck? Or is it time to end the foreign trade business career in SEHE to find a new starting point? Inside some confusion, but also some irritation. I got up, rubbed my eyes, turned on the desk lamp on my desk, and pressed the button of my laptop, since there was no more sleep, I might as well put myself into work and try my best.
"Ding ding", an avatar on WhatsApp that hadn't flashed for a long time suddenly jumped up, and I started to get excited. Oh, I remembered, she is a customer at the beginning of the year, remember the last purchase over 200 pieces of down jacket, the follow-up somehow lost contact, how hard to wake up but to no avail. When I saw the flashing avatar, I was instantly happy and chatted with her. I didn't realize it was 4:30 am. I think tomorrow I have to continue to move bricks, well, reluctantly, for the time being to say goodbye.
Although the lack of sleep last night, but this morning woke up but no sleepiness. Open the window, a new round of sunshine shot in, or colorful. It turns out that sometimes slowing down the pace of life is God's intention to arrange you to appreciate the beauty that you usually do not notice! I immediately thought of a saying: everything has cracks, that is where the light shines in.
I came to the office early, although there is still some time before the bell to go to work, first make yourself a cup of coffee to start a new day.
Opened the computer, instantly pulled the thoughts back to last night's client, lamenting on the fate of the fickle, fickle.
She, a married middle-aged woman, has a lovely child, with her husband has been running a good clothing store, a family living happily ever after. Life is like a play, the play is like life, although the main character and director of the play are themselves, but the plot sometimes develops but not according to the pre-rehearsed, and even give you a surprise.
The family, which she thought was happy, let her unintentionally discover her husband's affair a few months ago, and because she couldn't stand it, she filed for divorce from him. Because of the previous financial power has always let her husband in control, and the husband's family is more powerful and powerful. So face it, sometimes people have to bow down under the roof. After the divorce, she was left with nothing, her children and house were divided to her husband, and she was only given the clothing store to survive on.
After the divorce, she has been immersed in grief, the store also do not care to take care of, every day to alcohol anesthesia themselves, and then locked themselves alone in the rental room, isolated from the outside world, so that they are decadent, desperate. Suddenly, one day, she looked at herself in the mirror, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale and haggard, and she instantly seemed to have aged about ten years. The first time I looked at my phone, I was wearing light makeup and a delicate face, and I was considered a beauty in the eyes of others. "Oh,no" she told me, she looked at herself in the mirror at that moment, instantly frightened herself, immediately smashed the mirror.
Calm down, she thought she still had a store to survive on, she was still young, she could not be so decadent in life. So she started to contact me again, I told her that there is an old Chinese saying that "those who help themselves are helped by heaven", only if you pick yourself up and continue to work hard, the gods will help you.
She said that during her cooperation with me, she found me trustworthy and regarded me not only as a business partner but also as a friend in her life, so she was willing to tell me everything.
As a foreign trade salesman of a cross-border clothing e-commerce company (sehefashion), I have been working in SEHE for more than three years, and in addition to the daily teaching of my boss, I often think deeply about what is sales. Sales is not only the product, but also the professionalism and temperature of the salesman himself and the achievement he brings to the customer. Therefore, in the face of work and customers, I have always maintained the values and outlook on life of "integrity, altruism, empty glass and perseverance", which has also won the trust and praise of many customers.
She said she would definitely pick herself up, I said, it's okay, you should have told me earlier, you still have me as a friend. Don't we have a store now? Life can go on even better. I recommended a few of the store's hot items to her, and she approved. From stock to delivery, I took physical photos of everything to her, telling her the advantages of quality and style, the highlights of the garments, and even how we load the goods with lower shipping costs and tariffs, all of which were photographed and explained in detail.
In addition, I often encouraged her and comforted her as a friend. Out of her trust and dependence on me, she would talk to me and ask for my advice on any problems she encountered in her daily operation or any good ideas she had, and I was very patient in answering her questions and giving her better suggestions, such as how to redecorate the physical store to make it more refreshing, and how to go online during the epidemic to facilitate the operation.
So I kept in touch with her every day, and before I knew it, it was the end of the year. I was happy to receive a gift from her and a handwritten letter of thanks. In the letter, she mentioned that now she can be fully positive and optimistic in her life and work, and she also found the glowing and confident self again. She is grateful that she has met a friend like me, and she is grateful for my words that she still remembers, inspiring her to "help yourself, God helps you". Through her own efforts, she feels that God is really helping her, and her life and work are getting smoother and smoother.
Looking at the thank-you letter she sent, I also felt very emotional. Yes, this is perhaps the greatest sense of accomplishment as a foreign trade salesman, although just doing an ordinary job, but the work is connected to the four corners of the world, their unintentional payment but comforted a heart on the other side of the world, not only comforted can also be proud to say that saved another heart it. It turns out that one's profession, and even oneself, can be so great.
She told me that her husband regretted it and wanted to get back together with her when he saw that she was living a good life now. She came to me for advice, and I just told her to follow her heart. She said that she has not only found her previous self, but she is even living a better life than her previous self. In the past, when husband and wife ran the store together, they would rely on their husband for many things, and all matters of fame and merit would be topped by him with a halo, and they themselves were always dull. And now, through her own efforts alone, she has not only gained the recognition and affirmation of those around her, they are also impressed with her.
On December 28, 2021, at 2:30 a.m., Heartless Sleep.
On December 28, although there were still 3.4 days before the end of the month, the performance target had been reached long ago, and the job of foreign trade sales, no, I should say the career, was again perceived.
Yes, I have not seen the work as just an exchange for material goods, but as a career in their own efforts to struggle. At the beginning of the thoughtless phrase "self-help of God's help", the achievement of her is not the achievement of their own, and their own is not also verified "self-help of God's help" it.
Thinking of their original intention to do foreign trade salesman, but also secretly resolved that the next will always insist on continuing their love of this business, life is not only, the struggle does not stop. Close your eyes, with a smile at the corner of your mouth, looking forward to every day is a beautiful dream!
