There are 2 things which happen on a month end. Either you are short of materials or short of orders. One makes you shout at the supply chain and the other at “innocence faking”- dealers. Then month end comes with in genuine demands and some genuine rejections. If you have done the value then volume is short. If you have sold interior emulsions then exteriors is lagging. If you bigger dealer has picked the material then smaller dealers have suddenly turned deaf. So in a nut shell month end is one dreaded day which comes every month in a life of a sales personal and he just can’t avoid it. Few of you would be jumping out of their seats to say that I should be use to it now…well that’s what I flaunt but frankly speaking no one can be use to month end. One forgets his birthday and anniversaries but would never forget the month end.
So today being a month end I am sitting at 85% base and trying my level best to do base.
Today when I was woken up by my sis calling out loud (she prefers that way…), “hey get up its lovely weather outside, look it’s raining”…I just jumped off my bed not of happiness or ecstasy but of sheer hope that she is faking it. Coz rains are not good for paint business. To my sorrow it was raining in Delhi this morning. Coming towards office I could see a lot of people happy about the whole weather and I was the only one I guess who was driving with a sad face. So at this month end I have enough stocks to spare…..hehhehe…
Anyway yesterday saw “Eklavya- the royal guard”….Asian Paints is one of the media partner and I hope the movie does well. The best part is that it is just a 2hr movie. In the cinema hall I saw a face which was looking very familiar. Though my friend was apprehensive that I would get bashed but luckily that face was known and was a school junior. Anyway had a nice time watching the movie. Today one of my friend is coming from Calcutta heading to Amsterdam and wants me to be there at airport…so lets see..!
I think I should get back to work considering today is the day when salary is getting credit.
