"For example, if someone hasn't placed an order but just wants to observe and see how the product works, we still need to follow up. But like the person just now, who refused without even understanding the product and with obvious malice, we don't need to rush to be friendly to them."
The group thought about it and realized that it made sense. Although the man had been polite, considering the context, he wouldn't have compromised just because they said a few more words.
"So we're really giving up?"
Ma Jianbin was still somewhat reluctant to give up. These were the only two supply and marketing cooperatives he had at home. If he couldn't even take over the cooperatives at home, how could he go out and make great strides?
"How can you say that? If we really give up, what were we doing just now? Our product has a clear advantage now. As long as everyone asks about our product, generates a lot of dissatisfaction, and hopefully their leaders see us, we won't have to worry about not getting orders."
Ma Jianbin slapped his forehead, "Sister Gu, is this what you meant by giving each of them a small bar of soap just now?"
"It's hard to go from luxury to frugality. If we run out of our soap and then let them go back to using other products, there will definitely be a difference, and people will definitely complain."
"Besides, we also mentioned that the supply and marketing cooperatives in the north sell them. Although it's a long walk between the north and south, it's still manageable by bicycle or something. And some people are going there anyway, so buying them while they're there wouldn't be a problem."
Liu Li chimed in, "Yes! That's exactly how we're going to infuriate them."
Although sales clerks don't get commissions these days, and it doesn't matter how much they sell, the managers don't see it that way. After all, there's still a subtle competition among the managers.
So it's still up for debate who will win.
"We still have some time, do you want to continue?"
Ma Jianbin immediately raised his hand to answer, "Go on, I have a relative who works in a light bulb factory. I'll ask him to connect us with the line and see if we can get an order."
Another woman said, "My second aunt's cousin's brother-in-law works in a food factory, and I'd like to go and talk to him."
Gu An'an did not undermine their confidence, but instead had them split into two groups to negotiate separately, while Gu An'an followed behind one of the groups to observe.
With the help of acquaintances, they were able to meet the speaker smoothly and have the product showcased.
In the end, Ma Jianbin actually secured an order. Although the light bulb factory didn't have many employees and the order quantity wasn't large, it still made him jump for joy.
As for the food factory, they haven't placed an order yet, but they were very polite, saying that the holiday hasn't arrived yet and they don't have the budget for that yet, and they'll talk about it later.
Everything went as Gu An'an had anticipated. "Alright, those who successfully placed orders, keep up the good work tomorrow. Those who didn't place orders, don't be discouraged, there will be many more opportunities later."
In addition to offering comfort and encouragement, Gu An'an also had them recreate the sales scenario and pointed out the problems one by one.
Along the way, everyone listened with great interest, and they realized that being eloquent was the first step, but one also needed to be clever and know the art of speaking.
Even the young soldier driving the car listened with great interest. When he got back, he told his comrades how it was done, and then exclaimed, "We all have two eyes and one mouth, so how come they are so much better than us?"
"Aren't you overestimating ourselves by comparing us mere mortals to Sister Gu?"
"Sigh! I wonder how many good deeds Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao did in his past life to be able to meet Sister-in-law Gu in this life. If I do some good deeds in this life, will I be able to meet someone similar in my next life? Even if they're not quite there, it'll be fine."
Gu An'an was unaware of what they were talking about in private. As soon as she got home, Xiao's mother had prepared hot water, and she felt much better after taking a shower.
"You must be tired today."
Gu An'an shook her head, "I'm in charge of talking, they do most of the work, it's just tiring to ride in the car."
These days, roads aren't like the paved roads of later generations. The ride was bumpy and shaky, but luckily she wasn't prone to motion sickness, otherwise she would have gone crazy in this era.
Although she didn't complain, Xiao Yuheng still felt sorry for her. If it weren't for him, with his wife's abilities, she would have been able to live comfortably in Xiaowang Village long ago, instead of suffering like this.
"Let me give you a massage."
He said this out of genuine concern, but as he continued, the feeling changed.
"don't want."
Gu An'an reached out to push the person, but her body language was more honest than her hand.
Are you sure you don't want it?
Her eyes were clearly glazed over, yet she kept saying "no, no," and it has to be said that Xiao Yuheng absolutely adored her like this.
Needless to say, what happened next was that when Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao returned with their grandmother after digesting their food, Gu An'an was already asleep.
"mom."
Before Xiao Erbao could even finish saying "Mom," Xiao Yuheng covered his mouth, saying, "Mom is asleep."
"No way, Mom promised to tell us a story."
Xiao Erbao tried to run inside, but Xiao Yuheng grabbed him and took him out of the room. "Mom was tired from going out today, so she went to bed early. Dad will tell you a story later."
"No, the stories you tell are not good at all, not as good as Grandma's."
Xiao Erbao looked vehemently opposed, because Xiao Yuheng's stories always only had a beginning and an end, lacking any exciting or dramatic twists and turns.
Every time Xiao Yuheng starts talking, the two kids can already fill in the blanks for what happens next, which is incredibly boring. Unlike Gu An'an, who can always pique their interest when she tells a story.
"Dad, are you bullying Mom again?" The little boy looked so serious, as if he were facing a class enemy.
"No." Xiao Yuheng was still a little guilty. Although the guilt was different from the other kind, when he thought about how his wife had acted just now, it seemed that "bullying" wouldn't be wrong.
"Really not?"
Xiao Yuheng picked them up, one in each arm, and said, "When has Dad ever lied to you?"
Then she changed the subject, saying, "It's getting late, hurry up and take a shower, otherwise Mom will complain that you're all sloppy."
Although it was cold outside, the temperature inside was just right, and the two little ones were also in good health, so Gu An'an bathed them almost every day.
Over time, they developed the habit of not being able to sleep without taking a bath.
Moreover, bathing allows children to play in the water, which is something almost no child can resist.
Sure enough, after Xiao Yuheng and his mother each put one of them into the bathtub, the two little ones had already forgotten about continuing the topic of whether their mother had been bullied.
At this moment, Ma Jianbin's family had no intention of sleeping at all, and they all sat together listening to Ma Jianbin talk about what he had seen and learned during the day.
"You've really struck it rich this time."
The Ma couple both agreed with this statement. They knew their own child well. Although he was better than many other children, he still had the arrogance of youth and wasn't as steady in his actions.
Although their spirits remained the same after today's visit, it was noticeable that their tone of voice and way of thinking had changed, which is something their parents wanted to see.
"I really hit the jackpot! I'd only ever heard Dad praise Sister Gu before, but after meeting her in person today, I realized that what Dad said was too one-sided."
