The Team Gets it Done

It's past 1 am already and I still can't sleep because I made it a commitment here at read.cash to publish at least an article a day. So here you go.

-

I live with my sister and her family and it happened that they have this small business that they are managing. A few months ago, almost a year now, because of the pandemic, their business have been affected because of the lockdown that the government implemented to prevent covid19.

They manage a small store and they offer products from different direct selling company like Avon, Natasha, MSE, Ever Bilena, Dakki, Tupperware brands and all the products of all those direct selling companies that you can name.

Due to the lockdown because of the global pandemic, their store was closed for more than 3 months and on those 3 months, there are some of our products that has been stuck at the store, not even moving to turn into money.

So we think of ways on how are we going to dispose all of our slow moving products so that we can get the money that we used to buy those. And since online selling is the trend nowadays, we have decided to try it.

First Live Selling

A month ago, we decided to go on FB live and tried live selling there. The first products that we decided to sell are Dakki products. Dakki is a direct selling company who offers good quality pillows, mattress, clothing and home essentials. But they are most known because of their pillows.

Before going live, days before that, we have already informed our valued customers through word of mouth and even status on facebook so that they will wait for our live selling. Thank God that Dakki is well known enough so that the people, our customers are knowledgeable enough about the products that we are offering so they really wait for our live selling.

Since that's our first try on selling live, we are literally streaming blindly that day. Everything is a mess. We can't even keep up with answering all the comments of our viewers while arranging all of the items that they purchased from us. But to cut the story short, even though we are not really that ready that day, we still succeed because of the team effort that we have.

Only 8 items were left unsold that day and we had the total sales of more than Php20,000 or about $416 on that day alone.

Second Live Selling

Since we succeed on our first live selling, on the following week, we did it again. Offering products from Dakki again since it's also the demand of our customers.

At this time, I can say that we are already prepared. We did more than preparation than our first live selling.

And this second live selling hit success again because of the team who made all the effort in making this not as messy as possible.

We hit double the amount of sales we got on our first live selling at this second live selling of ours.

Third Live Selling

And just earlier, we had our latest and third live selling. And now, I can finally say that we are not doing it blindly now. You can see how much we have prepared just by looking at the 2 ring lights at the photo.

And since that I am in so much euphoria right now, I think it's time for you to see The Team who Gets it Done.

So this guy on the left is Kuya Intsik (He's not Chinese, Intsik is just his nickname). He's the assistant on our team. He does literally anything that we told him to do. He works for us on our shop and he is also our neighbor.

Actually, his sleeping time is at 9pm but earlier tonight, we start going live at 730 pm and ended at 1130 pm but he stick with us the whole time even though it is obvious that he is already very sleepy.

And you see that man on the left side of the photo? He's the husband of my sister and he is our boss here. He makes the command everytime and what we do is to follow him.

Following him is no big deal for us. He have the authority after all and he always gives us rewards anyway.

And this woman smiling widely right here, she's the main character on this team. He's the face of the team. She's the one who gets the most tired because she have to talk during live selling non-stop for like more than 3 hours.

Yes. Her part is tiring but look at her looking so happy on what she is doing. She definitely looks happy right? She is laughing like that because of the comments.

Every time we go live, our customers are very active that is why even when things are tiring, we are really enjoying a lot.

We are not just earning here, we are having a really great time interacting with our viewers.

So yeah, you just met our team. Are you wondering where am I? Oh i'm the one taking all those photos. Writing everything down and doing all the secretarial works behind the camera.

What happened earlier tonight?

I just introduced you to the team and now since this article is getting too long i'll just summarize what happened tonight.

In tonight's live selling, we introduced another products from tupperware brands.

So these products are really good quality products but it is kind of expensive that is why we are kind of anxious that we won't sell that much tupperware products but we 're wrong.

We are lucky that our customers knows that we are selling good quality products and that they are so willing to buy the products that we have offered.

Again, we made it! We sold almost all the products and get a total sales of Php17, 841 or $371 just for the tupperware brands.

We also sell dakki products earlier since that's really in demand and we had the total sale of almost the same as the tupperware brands.

Indeed, tonight's live selling has been a success and it is because of the team effort. Not all of us are in front of the camera but we have the same smile and emotions as the one who is in front of the camera. We all made an effort and we all share the same victory.

As of now, we are getting so much success on what we do and slowly, we are regaining the previous standing of our business in the market. We are again trying to keep our feet on the ground, trying to work out for everything that we have lost because of the pandemic. And hopefully, with the great time we have, may we experience success continually so that we'll be able to stand up again.

Thank you for spending time reading this article. See you on my next article.
