My IT Roadshow Fair Experience

I must say there is a lot to learn while I was helping out as a promoter in the Harvey Norman IT roadshow at both Funan and Suntec. I was a newbie at start but I picked up the skills needed as a promoter very fast. Even my supervisor did complimented me about these attributes.

While I was at the roadshow, I got to know a few people and basically how Harvey Norman works and even how the prices of laptops and desktops were slashed. One very important thing that I learned from this roadshow is that if you really want to get some computers, nevermind if it is a laptop or a desktop, a roadshow is the best value for money venue you have to be at.

Prices are normally below retail prices and they still throw in freebies for you. Sometimes, you can also ask to change the freebies if you don’t want them. Some of my customers don’t even want all the freebies but just asked for the price to be reduced. Well, that is just one bargaining method that you as a customer can do. Plus, one good thing about Harvey Norman is that they will try their very best to fulfill whatever the customer wants within reasonable limits.

So as for friends, I got to know 4 people working there. It was just a good experience for me to practice my networking skills again. It just seems to me that I haven’t been using it for some time and from this small experience, I must say although my skills is still there but it will definitely need some more improvements.

So all in all, this roadshow experience is really a great experience to me as I got to talk to many people during just 4 days from labour day onwards. I guess I must have talked to at least 100 people a day and managed a reasonable amount of sales considering that I am totally new to this line.
