The Psychology of Selling - Brian Tracy

A very interest story I got from this book, by Brian Tracy. Since I am not a good story teller and moreover my english is lousy so I just quoted the whole story out.


"Many years ago, there was salesman who worked for Corning Glass. This was the year that the company introduced safety glass for the first time. This product contained a transparent plastic sheet between two pieces of glass, and as a result, it did not shatter the way most windshield glass did at that time.

This young salesman went out with his new product, and within one year he became the top-performing salesman of safety glass in North America. At the national sales conference, he received the first prize for sales performance and was invited to share his secret with the other sales people present. They wanted to know, "How did you sell so much more safety glass than anyone else?"

He explained, "First of all, I got the factory to cut some safety glass into six-inch squares as samples. Then I got ball-peen hammer, which I took with me on sales calls. When I walked in on the prospect, I would ask, 'Would you like to see a piece of glass that doesn't shatter?'

"Almost invariably, the prospect would say, 'That's not possible, I don't believe it.' I would then put the glass sample on his desk, take out the ball-peen hammer, and whack it. He would instinctively jump and throw up his hands to protect his eyes. When he looked down and saw that the glass had not shattered, he would be amazed.

"After that, it was simple. I would just ask, 'How much would you like?' take out my order pad, and begin writing."

Corning Glass was so impressed with this technique that the following year they bought ball-peen hammers for all their salespeople, provided them with samples of safety glass, and sent them out nationwide. The method really work; they sold glass by the carload.

At the end of the year, at the next national sales convention, the young salesman, for some reason, was still head and shoulders above every other salesperson in the country.

Once again, they invited him up on the stage to receive his award as the top salesperson in the country. And again they asked him, "What is it that you did this year to outsell everybody else?"

"Well," he said. "I knew that you were all going to use my method, so I had to come up with a new technique. Now when I go in to see the customer, I've got a ball-peen in one hand and the sample of safety glass in the other. I ask him, 'Would you like to see a piece of glass that doesn't shatter?'

"He usually says, 'I don't believe it.'

"Then, I put the piece of glass on his desk and I give him the hammer and have him hit it. When he tries and fails to smash the glass himself, he is totally convinced. Then I write up the order."

Have you got your glass & hammer story or technique? Please share with me..... Cos I don't have it...... :(

Super Trimo Seafood Restaurant @ Plaza Damas

很多天没有blogging了。 不是没有东西写，而是遇到瓶颈。总觉得用英文并不能好好表达自己的心情。明显不是英文不能表达我的心情，是我不能用英文好好表达。

所以身为独中生的我，应该show show我的中文水平。话不多说...... 为大家介绍今天的菜色。

很多明星都会想办法利用他们的知名度涉足其他行业，以便在其他行业里也可以发光发热。这包括在饮食，房地产，美容......

这当中要算饮食业最为热门，就连我们的奖门人都不例外。

奖门人in chef custome.

早在2006年，他们就在Plaza Damas内开设了一间叫“美食奖门人”的中餐厅。起初以为他们在“东方魅力”的失败，加上平常他们整人为习，所以并没有抱太大地希望。

但当我尝试了他们的开胃小吃，食欲却马上为之一振。小吃含有花生，江鱼仔和长豆，经过腌制后变得酸酸甜甜，好味非常。

美食奖门人是中餐，除了有平常点菜吃饭外，还有一道特别的美食 - 火锅.

三至四人火锅配套有：-

前菜 - 三文鱼刺身 （非常普通甚至有点不新鲜。但值得一提是他们的刀工一流，三文鱼切得差不多可以透光）

汤头有麻辣，东炎，清汤等。这次我们选了药材醉鸡。

形状呈八卦的锅子并没有八卦的锅盖，整餐饭就在蒙蒙陇陇地气氛下吃完。

火锅是套餐，分量尚且足够。当然与 all you can steamboat 相比，他们就显得重质不重量。
且看猪肉丸，鱼丸，鸡肉丸全是新鲜手打。口感和味道决属一流。和 Giant & Tesco 丸比较就是天堂与地狱之分。
新鲜马来走地鸡，吃起来很Q，很鸡... ...

刚从缸抓上来得草虾。

起初还怕分量不够而另加一碟“豉油王炒面”。很够火候，多亏很好味的豉油才让我们顶着肚子K完整碟。

奖门人除了会整人，也会搞餐厅喔！

Mizuno Waverun @ UPM

I have not join any race since "Adidas King of The Road @ Shah Alam", because of Penang Marathon falls on next month 22th. To keep my running spirit up, I just took up the Mizuno Waverun at UPM which organised by Pacesetter Malaysia.

The race held on University Putra Malaysia (UPM) on 22th Oct and kick start at 7.30am.

It was a pretty sizable race and more than 4000 participants turn out on that day.

Including numbers of angmos.....

Pacesettle Malaysia has done a great job, one of the brilliant move is they organised the race at UPM and I never thought UPM could be that big. How big is UPM??? Kindly see the photo below:-

NOTE: The pictures were taken by a running photographer with a constantly high speed so the quanlity might be a bit shaking and dizzing.

They have three or four numbers of this size lake all over the campus.

Numbers of Kollege Blok.

They own farming land. I also got one in my facebook.

A medical centre inside the campus. A huge portal frame (I really have no idea what is that for).

Their own Marrybrown.
The facility that surprised me the most is they even have a chinese cementry. Not sure whether it only open for UPM student.

However UPM still not big enough to held a full marathon therefore the race is only 10km yet it still a pretty tough and fun race. I was running almost all the way uphill through out the race furthermore I got cheated by the organiser. It was actually 12.11km for the whole race so when I ran up to 9km immediately I shift to full acceleration mode whereby I only realized the finish point still far away from the 10km sign board so I only could walk back at the last 2km. Btw, I still very far from my targeted time.

So all I need now is to train HARDER & HARDER............ for PENANG MARATHON

Restaurant Spring Garden 阳光烧腊 @ Shah Alam Sri Muda

Why a sales person normally would have a big tummy???

1. Not because they're lazy, go back home at 3pm during working hour and sleep.
2. Not because they could cost it to John's money, so they can simply belanjar people and makan.

Meet our company founder Mr. John Lysaght

I swear I have never done any one like above, Mr John.

Back to the topic, it is because a sales person required to entertain customer. Makan with client is one of the best way to get closer and understand better of your client. Basically you might sharing dishes, chit chatting while enjoying the nice food. Again eventually you will know whether your client likes spicy or original, coffee or tea. Even though, it would not be related for you to closing the deal but the time spending with them is worthwhile. Simply because you can dig more info and build up the repo between them until become friend.

In this case, whenever I got chance to eat with my customer sure enough I will ask whether any good food to recommend. By adding up all this, that's why sales person always know where to makan. You really can trust this (where to makan) on a sales person maybe not on their product XD.

Today, I want share one of the best chao xiu in town that my customer brought me to - Restaurant Spring Garden 阳光烧腊 @ Shah Alam Sri Muda.

They named their chao xiu in "glass chao xiu, in chinese called 玻璃叉烧". They use the medium fat chao xiu so the chao xiu looks very glossy and it tastes like glass surface. The smoothes will just melting when you put it into your mouth.

Not to mention, their roasted chicken, duck and dumpling also very nice.

You would imagine if a sales person has to take this kind of meal offen so indirectly killing the sales person softly...... (music up)

Yet I am still a sales person. That's why I am still have

It was my last year photo actually..............

I am new man this year because I have join marathon extensively.

Mizuno Waverun (This coming Sunday) here I come...........

Will share more after the race.

p/s: I cannot bring DSLR to work so the quality of the photo is a bit blur.

La Casa @ Desa Park City

One of my best friend, Bin Iuan is staying at Desa Park City @ Kepong. Last Thursday he ajak me to go over his place to try some nice western foods and plus thank me for the ambulance service. Obviously, I would expect a nice and "free" dinner in Desa Park.


The restaurent called La Casa which located at Desa Park City Waterfront.





(Fresh Onion Soup - set dinner RM38.00, taste like oxtail soup but didn't see any tail inside)

(Slow braised chuck rib - set dinner RM38.00, the ribs was nicely done together with thicky gravy source. You would expect some chemical from your mouth after eating the dish because the source has very strong herb and garlic smell. Nevertheless, thr portion is just enough for me.)


(Iced Lemon Tea - set dinner RM38.00)

(Honey Mustard Chicken - RM25.00, healthy but sightly dry because they used chicken breast)

(Cajun Salmon - RM34.00, fresh salmon but what impressed me is the mash potato. Smooth...... )

(Pollo Pomodoro - RM16.00, moderate spaghetti. I prefer Jansen's Spag... XD)

(Smoked Chicken Pesto - RM22.00, creamy and yummy)

Overall, I would rate the restaurant 6.5/10 because the dishes are sightly over price eventhough it's yummy. Of cause, it located in Desa Park city so you can't expect cheap stuff over there. It'll be a good try if you wanna feel the ambiance of the RICHMAN. To prove I also one of the rich man so I shared the bill.

To Bin Iuan ---> You still owe me one. Hehe....

My First "Kid"

Don't be too suprise, you see what you see. I have got a kid and it started one year back. I just received his annual report recently.


** Cover page that tell what really happen to Thailand World Vision.

Let me introduce to you, his name is Khunpakdee, Noppadon (the only boy with white T in the picture). He is a Thai. I swear to god, I never date with a Thai and till now I haven't been to Thailand to do any funny stuff. I meet him though World Vision. Why I choosed to sponsor him even though I can't speak a single Thai except "tong yam" and "kam kuun kap" just because he loves Math and Art.

World Vision is a famous NGO in the world (http://www.worldvision.org/). I don't think I need to explain more about World Vision. I have been constantly sponsoring him since last year Sept. It only requires RM50/month and directly charge to your credit card.

Few reasons that actually got me into this:-

1. By contributing to registered charity party could be discounted at the last part of the tax deduction. For example your this year income going to tax you RM1000, if you already made RM500 for charity then you'll only need to pay RM500. Of course you still can either contribute to our strong "police department" to buy Lancer Evo or those little cute children. Make you choice.

2. According to a book called "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind", ten percent of your income should go the give account. Meaning to say, you should do charity with your 10% income then you can become a richman. Not to mention the author of the book named T. Harv Eker so at least he has half acre land that prove he is rich. That's why I trusted him and start doing that. Believe me.... It is really a powerful book you should read. It works for me although I am not a richman yet but like the old saying "You'll get more when you give out". Now only 50 bucks per month nia......

3. I hate to give money to the bagger while I makan at restaurant or any hawker stall simply because I don't believe them and they don't provide receipt to me.

That's why I choose World Vision. They are more powerful until one of my competitor also called "Vision World Sdn Bhd".

There are many others NGO like UNICEF and etc doing very well. Welcome to share with me if you have other...

Full House - Ara Damansara

I bet a lot of people and blogger already been to NZX (Niu Zhe Xui) Full House restaurant and wrote something about it. Why am I still write something that a lot people has commented and could possibly can tell better than me? Just like my favourate food blog site http://kampungboycitygal.com/2008/09/full-house-nzx-ara-damansara-caption-to-be-updated/, they really did a good job in their blog.

In fact I have discovered some tramandous changed in NZX. I was not first time been to NZX and Full House restaurant but also quite couple of months that I have never go there and makan.

Last friday, I decided to go a romantic and cute restaurant with my kesian girlfriend, Thean so that she could reduce a bit of her tension caused by her job posting. My first thought is FULL HOUSE @ ARA DAMANSARA.

When we first got there.............

We were like been to a abondened site and 95% of the shop have closed down. This prove that property development is not always be success in KL. The developer Pathview Development Sdn Bhd has put a lot of efforts and advising for this place. They even invited some of the famous HK artist like Charmaine Sheh See Man somehow or rather it just did not turn out anyway. I believe one of the main reason is the excess. The place is damn hidden, you can only either use Subang Airport highway or pass though the Taman Mayang Mas to go be there.

Luckily enough, Full House is one of the remaining 5% shop that still open for business.

Tomoto Crab Soup with Cognac RM10.90. (Very thick and creamy, taste so so unless you love tomato very much)

Full House Club Sandwich (RM13.90, nothing to shout about and very suit for girls)

Full House Signature Chicken Chop (RM16.90, the chicken was nicely grilled and dressed up by raisen and plum source. VERY NICE)

Tiramisu (RM7.90, very nice deco and good for moody guy because it's sweet and mixture of Kahlua and coffee powder was damn good)

Honey Milk Green Tea (RM5.90, not so sweet but very smooth and nice)

Beside the food, they also selling some cute stuff like...

Mama Little Garten Brand - Grown your own Tau Ke

This lovely cute couple is not for sale.

Lastly it is a very impressive and passionate restaurant. Should try before it close down... TOUCH WOOD.....
