Percobaan Untok Meyakinkan.

“Jo !, We got a problem. The switchgears we supplied does not comply to the TNB specs la. You must convince TNB somewhere, somehow to accept it.”

Lama dah aku tak buat part part convince mengconvince ni to TNB. He, he, Ada jugak rasa gian. The butterfly and wutnot in the stomach. The seram seram sejuk feeling before the presentation. The grilling process by the engineers, tanya ni tanya tuh. The sweaty palms...

Once in a while, I think, Adrenaline is sweet and I’m craving it.

Siap siap, terus prepare for the big day. Abis jugak 2-3 jam godek sini, godek sana, pegi sini pegi sana. Pergi ke Ratingen, Germany, ke Vaasa, Finland, ke Sace, Italy. Tuu masuk ker server diaoranglaa. Bontot aku still kat melekat kat kusi Amethyst kat Subang Jaya nih.

Substance dan power power punya presentation kira penuh, pekat, dan berisi laa. Tak lupa specs, filled schedules, MOM, and agreement. Suma sudah ready..

Talking about substance, Style pun musti ada. Terus chop kat Karen, our new projector. Kalu nak present kat customer ni, this ONE really shines. It so bright and clear, kira korang boleh kiralah berapa strand rambut JackJack kalu korang tengok ‘The Incredibles” ngan projector baru ni.

Esoknya. Baju - check, rambut - check, gigi – check and yang paling penting attitude pun udah check. Kiranya attitude macam Insurance Salesmen gituh, ni nak convince our numero uno, biggest customer ni.

Bila sampai convincing part ni. Syukor, all went well. You can see in the eyes of the participants shining macam kira udah terconvinced tahap puncak. Then, the Chairman pun wrapped up the meeting.

“En. Jo. What you are presenting to us make a whole lotta difference on what we see your switchgears capability and function. That is very good. It is whole new experience for us with this new perkakasuis. I really appreciate your coming here and do the explanation.”.

He he he, kembang semangkok la akuuuu.

“BUT, this is not what we specified in our technical requirement. Please, please En Jo, inform your German Counterparts that we need this bla bla bla…….

Ohh !!, Celaka, f*#k, cheeb@#!, P*!@#$, lahabau, malaun, binawe..

Apasal plak these bloody Engineer always think inside the Box… Lepas A baru buat B. If A tak lepas, you kenot proceed with B...

Suwey.. mmmmm. Takpe takpe. Mebbe I start prepare my self nak jumpa The VP plak and see wether I can convince him. This is what I am paid for...
