Quick conversation...

Was having this conversation with a friend, and I thought it is pretty interesting, if that targeted guy reads it... =P

Mrs X... says:
i'm curious....
Mrs X... says:
wat 22K promo your coy did?
ME says:
promo at Cxxx Sxxxxxx and Sxxx & Sxxx
Mrs X... says:
den isn't this promo a lost when the sales is only 21K?
ME says:
jus did my maths again
Mrs X... says:
12K only?!!
ME says:
ya, the remaining 10k is normal sale
Mrs X... says:
goodness!
ME says:
I hope someone is reading my header
Mrs X... says:
erm.... haha....
Mrs X... says:
he's the one suggested the promo ar?
ME says:
he's the Sales and Mkting Manager
Mrs X... says:
oh.... hahaha....
Mrs X... says:
so he should know the cost and sales figure right?
ME says:
well, he is informed
Mrs X... says:
or may be he's only concerned about Sales figure...
ME says:
I think he shd have the brains to know sales vs cost :p
Mrs X... says:
hahaha.....
ME says:
I wonder how many more such promo he will do before he wakes up
Mrs X... says:
you mean he have done more promos previously?
ME says:
yup, all loses also
Mrs X... says:
i think can do promos lah... but have to take note of the cost lor...
Mrs X... says:
frankly speaking lah....
Mrs X... says:
1 bottle of sesame oil take quite some time to use up.....
Mrs X... says:
even if i see go promo and yet at home still got half a bottle... i aso won buy one lor...
Mrs X... says:
my honest opinion lah... wat do you think?
ME says:
as a finance guy, I say dun need do such kind of promo, cost-ineffective
ME says:
and we're established brand, if customers use our brand, then they'll stick to it, not as if we can attract new customers just by a 30cents/bot discount
Mrs X... says:
it's true lor...

......(continues)

And to add, even my previous Sales Manager who is particularly weak in finance knows not to do promo with this group of supermarkets.

To share, a song I like... I hope... I believe...

Haven't been listening much radio nowadays, so not knowing what are the latest songs out there. Kinda 'broke off' with the music world already. But saw this guy singing on television one night, and was so impressed by his voice, so just thought of sharing here.



楊培安 - 我相信
詞:劉虞瑞 曲:陳國華

想飛上天 和太陽肩並肩
世界等著我去改變
想做的夢從不怕別人看見
在這裡我都能實現

大聲歡笑當你我肩並肩
何處不能歡樂無限
拋開煩惱 勇敢的大步向前
我就站在舞臺中間

我相信我就是我 我相信明天
我相信青春沒有地平線
在日落的海邊 在熱鬧的大街
都是我心中最美的樂園

我相信自由自在 我相信希望
我相信伸手就能碰到天
有你在我身邊 讓生活更新鮮
每一刻都精采萬分 I Do Believe
