Keen, hungry Student ?

Dear sir,

Hope you are doing great in life....

I know you would hardly recall me still i want to ask something from you as a help..

I have been working in a good company in marketing division for last almost one and half year but after all this i am not enjoying at all. It is not about the company but i have realized that i am not fit for marketing specially sales as it is against my basic nature. more over i am hardly inclined towards putting effort in this direction.

Just want to know from you how to know what field i should go in from here on as it will change my life forever but i desperately need to do this. I belong to middle class family so not courageous enough to take big risk.

Please suggest if there can be a way out.

I will be grateful if you take some time out from your precious and packed time schedule.

Regards
XXXX


dear XXXXX

why is your heart not in the job?
is it because you dont like to ask customers for orders/business?

first things first- when you dont sell, the world comes to a halt !!!
think of a day ...just a single day in the world when no salesman sells anything to anybody...what would happen????

the world would come to a grinding halt.

this is the role played by a salesman. this is his importance to society. this is his value.

if for some other reason you dont like your job you will have to spell it out. i cannot figure out much from your mail. please write in detail if you really need help.

and finally, i do remember you. i dont forget keen and hungry students.

you asked for help. so it shows you are keen. you wrote to me stating you have a problem, so it shows your courage and fearlessness.


Take care

Dear sir,

You got it right...at the moment i consider you as my doctor,teacher,guide,friend..

At the bottom of all my problems is FEAR which is resulting in following:

1. I fear talking to people in my case Customers...

2 . I cannot say "I love You" to a girl whom i love fearing her reaction..

3. I keep procrastinating my work because of this and again fear that tomorrow i will be reprimanded though i take my work seriously and honestly...

4. Negativity has spread in my mind and not ready to leave ....

Apart from this i have realized that my area of interest is different than marketing and sales but still confused as any other common man moving on the street today.

I know theories(not all but many) but not the path to overcome fear.

I have tried to open my heart above still may have left few things which as an experienced mentor you can understand and let me know.

Your keen student waiting for his teacher's lessons.


This is something one hears quite often nowadays. And I think the solution lies somewhere inside the person himself.

What say?
