Together with Sir Bingo we went to Boss Coffee for a meeting with the IT Manager of FairChild Company named Benjie.
As we going to the meeting place I had a good conversation with Sir Bingo about the marketing status and strategies to have a good position of our target market (MEPZ companies. He told me an effective approach he applied from his other company, the Newgen Chemicals. The approach of relationship building in dealing with industries where hard selling has no room for it. I treasured the tip being shared because I personally sold out the concept from my previous reading of marketing books. Yes, this time would be a real scenario of what I've learned from books.
Immediately in the office, I updated my personal development enrollment sheet. Because I opted to enroll the new course "Relationship Building".
From now on, I'm committed to take this course seriously until it's completion.
Once again, thanks for the tip!

A Good Complain
We got together with my brothers (Rex and Joel) and a sister in faith(Shirley) to the establishment of Home Sonic Appliances Center occupying a place at the 2nd floor of Gaisano Fiesta Mall.
At first we felt uneasy to proceed with our purpose. The purpose to clarify and make a request of return to the products being claimed as the winning prize of promo. We decided to return in back because they we sensed that they manipulated my mother to the extent her supplementary card had been charge of the worth P51,000 as the way to claim the prizes. Aside from that the we looked at the products as liabilities not an assets.
With my brother, Rex we had fired the manager in charge a lot of proving questions that we observed the failure of her to gave a direct and honest answers. She kept of swerving my questions being thrown out. Imagined she denied about their words of what they told to my mother about promo winning prize. Instead she reason out they had informed only about their gift certificates offerings. In fact my younger brother could witnessed their emphasis about the promo as their very sweet word of convincing.
I knew she would never get the word about it because she was might be in question about of DTI permit number.
I understood their type of sales strategy. It's a matter of manipulation just for the sake of selling even sacrificing the customer satisfaction.
To make the story short, upon our professional proving questions that nearly surfaced their manipulative strategy , they had not any more resisted our request to return back the products in return with the cancellation of our payment.
From then the conversation went so friendly after I gave my apology of being so harsh to her and unfriendly tone of voice.
It was my first time to act a bad guy and I couldn't imagine I did it perfectly after hearing the recorded conversation.

Unquestionable Promo
As I opened the door going inside my house, it caught directly into my attention the comfortable massage chair lying in our sala. I began asking my parents where it came from and who brought it. My mother told me that she won it in the promo. I was surprise and glad to know about it. Gave a hand of congratulation to my mother and immediatley sat down the massage chair. It worked good and massaged my back more satisfying and relaxing. I was so impressed of how technology brought comfort to people's lives. A few minutes I found out that there were add-on prizes just like inductive cooker, door buzz, and others.
Later, several minutes passed by, my mother confessed to me at low voice about the real scenario. She told me that someone called her from the Home Sonic Appliance Center located in the Gaisano Fiesta Mall. Together with my brother she rushed out to claim the prize. As what my mother foretold that several sales lady welcomed them warmly of which my mother was overwhelmed the excitement. Until to the point someone told her that in order to claim the prize of the promo she must bought any item worth at least 50T pesos and got immediately the winning prize of massage chair worth 100T pesos. My mother wanted to pull back the offer but she wouldn't able to refuse because of their manipulative sales tactics supportive back my sales team. According to my mother that they were so hard in convincing her to use the supplementary credit card just to take advantage of the good prize promo.
At home my mother was so regretful of the decision she made, a worth of 51,000 pesos was charged from the credit card.
With the situation being presented and analyzed it, I raised the following questions of doubt in my mind about the promo validity:
1. Why they could not clearly tell the winning source exactly?
2. Why they never ask any coupon for claiming?
3. Why they had charged a price in exchange of the prize?
4. Why they were so manipulative?
5. Why my mother had not received any certificate of winning?
Because of these aforementioned questions, I decided to talk to their management and clarify the things I formulated thru the mentioned questions.

A Free Lunch with Award
I got an instant message in my Yahoo messenger at nearly lunch time. At first I thought it was just a joke from my officemate but it's really true. Sir Bingo prepared all of us ,blumangonians, a free lunch.
But before lunch time, we'd got together for a meeting. It was a surprise for everyone because it's not an ordinary meeting, it's an awarding ceremony. And it's the reason why we'd got a free lunch. Beyond to my expectation, as the meeting went on I heard my name being mentioned as one of the awardees of Loyalty. I told myself - Thank you and Congratulations!
I guess I deserve the award because I'm one of the pioneering of the company since it's birth way back April 2003. I remembered I was hired at first as an IT Instructor, then a year after I was promoted as an elearning supervisor for almost 2 years time. Until I once again promoted as a Marketing Manager.
Did I come up in my mind to find other job?
Absolutely Yes, but because of my commitment to leave with a great contribution of the company I preferred not to jump the bandwagon even the times of difficulties. Aside from that I had already committed that EMSSI/Blumango Technologies would be the last company I live to work with. Because by the time I will be leaving I have to make it sure I would venture my own business.
That's why I treasured the time I'm handling the marketing of the company as a good avenue for developing my marketing skills that would be crucial to the success of my future business.
I would make it sure also that my business would not anyhow compete with the Blumango business interest but somehow find ways to collaborate and make a good partnership.
More Power and Success!

A Look Back To My Elementary Days
After I withdrew my online earnings at ATM Machine located in Gaisano Fiesta Mall, I found myself inside my old elementary school walking around. Feeling the strong gust of wind and recalling the memory in the past. I enjoyed looking back the past moments and it was so enjoyable and dramatic experience.
I let myself strolled all the way around the school vicinity so observant of the changes brought by time. I visited back my rooms from Grade 1 to 6 and found likely the same, as being refreshed by the experiences I couldn't afford not to trace back.
The old elementary school commemorates my extraordinary hardwork in studying and my persistence to aim the best in school. I recalled that I had only a few friends in the school because I devoted my time in studying my lessons and even doing advance study to just keep abreast the tight competition among my pilot classmates - it was so challenging. And because of the efforts I consistently sticked to pilot class and included in the the top 20 pupils until my Graduation Day.
I congratulated myself for the good study well done for acquiring such academic excellence. I considered my elementary study as the strong foundation that brought me up to tne higher and higher level of academic achievements. Until the time of my college graduation wherein I was so proud bringing the honor back to my supportive parents as being acknowledged and awarded as Cum Laude.
And now, as a professional, I have a different perspective in life compared to my school years of study. I challenge myself, not any more for a medal, but for my time and financial freedom acquisition for me to help and bless more people.
I know this would take so much hardwork but I committed to take the challenge of whatever it takes. I believe I have already the necessary character I learned and acquired from the past. I guess, its only the objective has change.

Updating My Blogs
I decided not to go work during the day because I wasn't feeling good. I stayed the whole day at home taking a good rest.
In the morning, I spent my hours sleeping and gaining energy in getting well soon. Time ticked so fast, until I woke up late in the afternoon feeling mighty good. After the afternoon break, I got back to my internet hobby.
I was doing so much fun about internet business of which I was so passionated and appealing no stress at all, even long hours confronting my personal computer.
The blogs I had created before where the following:
1. http://freebiztraffic-arsenal.blogspot.com
2. http://magicknowhow.blogspot.com
3. http://blumangotech.blogspot.com
4. http://mindrich.blogspot.com
5. http://greatpharases.blogspot.com
6. http://readbymillionaires.blogspot.com
With the list of blogs, I was able to connect each of them by providing a link from each other. This is for the intention to gain a good search engine ranking in terms of links associated with the particular site.
Furthermore, I looked into the amazon.com widget feature and suddenly got interested to integrate my chosen widget into this blog(http://howmylifegoes-on.blogspot.com). The widget enabled me to select the books I'd read so far and could best to recommend to my friends.
You may see in the sidebar the amazon widget I recently added enumerating the best recommended books I personally selected from the amazon store. I hope you would find time to take a look of it.
