A change is needed, a new lifestyle awaits!

Putting in all the effort towards something which doesn't gives back much profitable return takes time. We need to put in much effort straight from the heart in order to achieve that target. I believe that target can be achieved one day, whenever there is hard effort. People turn you down whenever you introduce this business to them. I never gave up on it, and am looking forward for a better return for the next few months, am praying that this might turn out for a better income in the near future.

How is Shanghai? Sounds great?

      So, if you ask me , is Shanghai fun? I would tell you..it's a place where you get to see all the modern stuff around here. I'm glad that I'm able to enjoy the trip and being stress free from my assignments at university. It was a fun trip at Shanghai actually as I visited from Shanghai -> HangZhou-> SuZhou->YiWu->Dongyang->Nanjing->Wuxi-> back to Shanghai in 8 days time. 

      Thank god we did not meet China's national day as i heard people mentioning that it would be a hectic crowd queing here and there, waiting for anything will take for hours. Lots of marketing techniques can be learned from China as well, as there are a lots of china men applying their gimmicks to close sells. In other words, China people do a lot of hard sell. Below are the pics i've take for my 8days7 nights trip in China. Please have a look ;)

Interview On Discounts! All About Discounts!

            Two weeks ago, I was being given on an assignment to conduct an interview session with two respondents. In the interview, we talked mainly about 'Discounts' and I had to get the feedbacks out of the two interviewees regarding on their personal opinion and thoughts for 'Discounts'. 

            The first interviewee I had interviewed was, Encik Herman Iskandar Mohamad Kamarudin. He was an old neighbour of mine at my previous house. Encik Herman is 46 years old this year and works as a policeman. Through the interview session with him, we shared information on how did he get to know about discounts, from who did he get to know the word discount, and what is his opinion on the discount sales promotion techniques. While conducting the interview with him, I noticed that he likes to take his sweet time thinking of how to convey his respond in phrases by speaking slowly, with a deep solemn voice and answered me back with most of his flashback on passed happenings.

            Throughout the interview session with him, I couldn’t grab whole of much key points from him as he does not stress on much of the main points for discounts, when being asked on a question. I had to struggle to jumble up more detailed questions to make him speak out more on his thoughts. Basically, he supports the discount sales promotion techniques being done in our country

For my second respondent, he is a business consultant, Mr Kok Chiang. Mr Chiang is my mum’s colleague and I took the initiative to approach him during his lunch hour. I would say that Mr Chiang is a highly educated person and he shared with me on both good and bad about discounts from his personal thoughts. Through this interview session with Mr Chiang he provided me a lot of information and sharing regarding on discounts.   

From this interview session, Mr Chiang has negative thoughts on discounts as he did mention in his interview that discount is a bad thing in his opinion. The reason is because he feels that discounts are for people who do not know much of the things are worth and are easily attracted to get the product at a cheap price.

Apart from that, there are also a few types of errors that occurred when conducting the interviews. Non-response error did occurred when I was having an interview with Encik Herman. As we were conducting the interview, refusal did occur as he did not really provide much detailed information on the discounts. He shared more of his life experience compared to providing more detailed information about discounts. In addition, self-selection bias also did occurred. Encik Herman was more towards over-representing extreme position when I was conducting the interview session with him. The reason is simply because, he tend to out spoke on the questions that I asked him by replacing with his family lifestyle.

            In conclusion, the interviews are being carried out nicely and results are also quite satisfied.
