JOJO ( Joanna Levesque) concert here in Cebu!

When my friend sent me a SMS that Jojo, back to back with Michelle Branch will have a concert here in Cebu this June 2012, my heart leaped because of happiness! This a long time wish! DREAM COME TRUE!!!

So, I immediately went online and checked on the details.  I confirmed the date, and it’s gonna be on JUNE 8! ) I was a bit sad because my classes starts on June 4, and I have evening classes. 

So, I called waterfront and asked, good thing, most of their concerts starts at 8pm! (fingers crossed, I hope I won’t have classes that would 8:30)  

 

I AM SO MOTIVATED TO SAVE MONEY!!!

YAAAAAAYYYY!!

GOT ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS SITE.

MY FIRST WEEK OF RECEIVING REAL CALLS!

I had lots of learnings, and realizations last week well, it was only the 5 days of training.

shaalalaa!
april 16, my first day of receiving calls, MIXED EMOTIONS ALERT! excitement, anxiety, nervousness.
BEEP! my first call, (
first and second calls FAIL. lose sale.
and the next six calls are great, the callers are so good that all my nervousness are gone, except the last call! that caller was soo, harsh and inhumane..he was my last caller and he stressed me out! urrrggghh!

2nd day! my most productive day so far,
made 23 sales.. )) the lady ordered a lot for administrative professionals week.

3rd day, not so good. all of my calls are for customer service!! and I’m on the sales department, had 14 calls, only 4 sales. bad.

4th day, 8 sales, 8 calls. not bad:)

5th day, 12 calls, 10 sales. yeeeeeyyyy!
I didn’t have any irate customers.

I had a wish before to have a work that would expose me to other places, different personalities, different cultures.. well, I think that wish is already 30% granted! hahahaaha I still wish it would be an INTERACTION — PERSONALLY. not just through the phone because it’s really hard to convey your thoughts and emotions if it’s just a phone call, and it’s easier to make your customer understand if both of you are talking personally.

2 more weeks to go!
I can do this!
btw, my contract ends this may.16

my first week in a call center company. :)

oki. it’s still my training, real calls will start next week.
while on my training I realized a lot of things about being a call center agent. It changed my perceptions on some regular agents, or those who are working in the company for more than 6 mos.
I have to be honest.. I thought that’s it’s just a very EASY job, I thought ANYONE could be an agent..
but I was really100x wrong!!!!
Being a call center agent, one needs to be really patient, what if? an irate customer calls you, then your having a bad day? how would you handle that?
There different kinds of challenges you’ll face everyday that will surely test your patience.
after this week of training. I’d surely punch your face if you’ll say that working as a CALL CENTER AGENT IS EASY.
(even though, I’m just working for summer)

Why We Need an Advertising Code of the Philippines?

Reblogged from juntariman:

Education Secretary Jesli Lapus caused for the pull out of the “Spelling Bee” TV ads of air cargo forwarding service LBC Express Inc. in May after “it drew a flak from local officials and parents over its wrong message”.

There were two versions of the TV ad before it was pulled out by LBC from the air. The “remittance” and the “affordable” versions where both spelling bee participants answered “LBC” as the spelling for “remittance” and “affordable”.
