New Shit - Day 1

I wonder what i plunge myself into.

At the airport at 7.10am. Checking into the flight for 9.05am heading for Indonesia - Jakarta.
I'll be going to 4 countries very frequently now.
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand & Brunei.

But i am glad they are all nearby and 3hours flight can get me to the places i work on.

Appointments and client visitations felt the same as Singapore.
However, people are more willing to meet me compared to Singapore as i come as a Principal,
a foriegn party that came to show their presence.

I get coffee or ice water, which i do not get in Singapore.
Meetings are always in board room with the bosses of the business.

So in a way, i guess it's a step up when the bosses are willing to meet you.

That said, i am still a sales man. Although i try not to sell so much (Which is hard, as i am so used to it after so many years) and really talk to people on a bigger picture and express our capability to offer solutions and not just a product.

It's all about bullshit really.

My new job scope is simple.
1) Say a lot of fancy things to impress the client.
2) Have the dealers hit their sales target, which in turns makes me hit my target.
3) Have little sleep and type a lot of emails and reports.

Same shit, different day.
