Assalamualaikum!
Sat lagi nak kene gi port, melawat LUNA BLUE. sedap kan nama? macam luna maya gitu. haha.. kalau ade anak aku nak kasi nama luna la jgk camni. eyh.
Masa new year eve last time, I was out with a good friend of mine. Dia nak introduce business yang dia tengah buat... ok, senang cite, it is MLM business. bila dengar MLM mesti orang mcam : "
omaigod.. omaigod.. MLM??? you say what?? MLM?? are you serious?? MLM???" ngehehehe.. aku rasa ramai mcam rasa paranoid dengan MLM kot. sebab most of stories about MLM are not the good one.
MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) ni sebenarnya banyak je kat Malaysia.. Contohnya macam Avon, Cosway, etc etc pon considered as MLM... cuma mungkin dah lama established, and diorang takde
kebaaboomm any big issues, so takde la orang pandang serong kan?
Masalahnya adalah bila orang yang terlebih bijak, menggunakan MLM untuk mengaut keuntungan peribadi. erkkk.. dah macam entry untuk kondem orang wat MLM je bunyinya.. ahahaha.. that was not my intention pon. my point is, system yang digunakan oleh MLM ni adalah system yang standard in any business pon aku rasa. even kalau kilang electronics ker, kilang papan ker, sama je kan? there must be a few levels of workers kan? mesti ade boss, then management level, pastu executive level, blablabla.. last skali, operators. and who will do the works?? boss? nope! operators la kan? executive level akan pikir, macamana nak bagi operators more productive. same goes the upper levels.
Ingat lagi my previous boss dulu.. dia pernah cakap camni ....
kerja dia kat kilang tu apa? apa tujuan dia datang Malaysia? dia datang Malaysia untuk buat produk kilang tu?? tak! dia datang Malaysia, untuk pastikan kilang tu boleh provide kerja untuk orang2 tempatan kat situ, untuk pastikan kilang boleh bayar gaji tiap2 bulan kat pekerja2.. untuk pastikan welfare pekerja terjamin. bukannya tiap2 bulan nak membebel apsal target tak achieve..
So senang cakap, any business mmg perlukan those hierarchy utk operate... MLM is not bad. its the people who makes it looks bad. aku tak berani nak komen sgt, aku pon baru nak blaja2.. pasal hukum hakam syariah semua tu kan. penting sangat2 tu.
ok ape mende yang aku nak cerita sangat sebenarnya ni? wakakaka.. aku da start rasa diri sendiri poyo hilang arah tujuan. haha.. ok! BIASANYA malaysian style, untuk recruit someone to join MLM, they will invite you to join them for lunch ker dinner ker... and this what actually happened to me. kawan aku ajak jumpa. dia cakap nak story pasal her business. aku ok je, kalau setakat nak story kan. lagipon lama tak jumpa kawan ni. apa salahnya.
kami pergi satu restoran ni, then she made a call. "eyh ko kat mana? laa bukan kat sini ke. ok2, aku gi sana" and I was like...
hurmm.. there will be another guy joining us... hurmm.. ooookeyyy..... sampai tempat di tuju, i saw a looooong table occupied by this one group and I was like.... oh my... oh my... oh my.. this is not what I expected.
There were like 20s of them. kot. after makan2 my friend started to cerita sket2. pastu datang sorang lagi cerita2 and tanya2 aku. like, seriously, I was not expecting this. macam kene attack jugak la. hehe.. soalan macam "
apa yang kau nak dalam hidup. bla bla bla... " and siap sorang ni dia pergi panggil yang lain. so mmg senang cakap, aku mmg kene brainwash malam tuh. dang! dang! ade la kot dalam 4 5 orang yang brainwash otak aku yang suci murni ni.
The thing is, bila kau join MLM, they will really train you to be a "leader" . atau perkataan lain, train you jadi orang yang pandai bercakap. most of them will say this "
dulu aku bukan macam ni. dulu aku tak reti bercakap pon dengan orang (dah tu kau cakap ngn dinding? kesian..) macam sekarang.. and after aku start mende ni, aku dah reti camna nak cakap ngn orang tanpa rasa segan, malu... ". yes, itu yang byk mereka cakap.
Mmg la aku pon impressed dengan cara & keyakinan diorang bercakap. sbb aku sendiri bukan jenis berani cakap sgt
(eyh aku pon style cakap ngn dinding rupanya). and I really want to have that gut. tapi itulah.. sometimes bila kita da dapat satu2 kelebihan tu... kita ter-over excited ( I guess), sampai tak sedar apa kita cakap. kita rasa apa kita cakap semua betol. tapi sebab diorang excited sangat cerita kan, I was like..
lantak kau lah. aku taknak potong stim kau tengah high bercakap. haha.. and I really was holding back inside.
Ok, this is antara yang aku was like "
WHAT??"
(1) This one girl. muda setahun dari aku. tapi dia ingat aku lagi muda dari dia. yawwww. me gusta!
Dia dok cerita pasal she and her husband are doing the business since before they get married. and the husband decided to quit his job couple of weeks before they get married, just to involve seriously in the business. (They are doing part-time before that). and the girl asked this to me,
Girl : Kalau awak, awak sanggup ke kawen dengan orang takde kerja??
Me : uurrrrr.... Girl : ni dah la tinggal few weeks je lagi nak kawen ni. Me : errrr... tak kooott.... (sebenarnya just nak go with the flow. layankan)
Girl : kan??? takkan nak kawen dengan orang takde kerja. nnti nak bagi kita makan apa?
So kat sini dia cam nak cakap the business is promising something if you get serious. actually buat ape pon, kalau serious ok jer, kan. cuma yang dia cakap pasal nak kawen ke tak tu... I was like.. eerrrr, you love that man, agreed to marry him, pastu tiba2 dia dalam kesusahan (in this case tak susah sgt pon kot), you just wanna leave him?? mmg la dia tak tinggalkan mamat tu, tapi cara dia cakap tu.. like.. masa senang nak sama, masa susah?? hye2 bye2??? huurmmm...
(2) I was talking to my friend, when the husband of the girl dalam cite kat atas ni datang and started to tegur2. haha. they have similar approach. diorang akan cerita sebelum start mende ni (
they keep saying mende ni, mende ni... like MENDE APE??), what they were like. this gentleman, dia start cakap pasal boss.
Boy : kat sini mmg kita share semua ilmu. I pon byk blaja kat sini. kalau you kerja kilang ker gov ker, ade ker manager yang ajar kita jadi manager?? xde kan?
Me : errrrr.... (seriously aku taktau nak jawab apa.. hahahaha.. because my bosses did teach me! indeed! )
Boy : takde kan?? macam my boss dulu, siapa yang dia promote?? budak bawah I. sebab apa? budak tu pandai goda dia. perempuan la.. goyang2 sket, dapat la promoted.
Damn this guy merendah2kan perempuan. aaaargghhh ptuih I started muntah hijau dalam perut.
Me : *senyum*
Boy : Sebab tu I decided to quit! *bangga*
When I went home and try make some research pasal all this things, yang kelakarnya I found the same story. pasal "
kau ingat boss nak ajar kau jadi boss?". Kelakarkan?
bodow kurang bijak. hahahahaha.. kalau manager tak ajar kau jadi manager, lepas dia dah takde sape nak ganti dia?? mampuih la company tuh?? lucky me la my bosses semua teach me something. memang la dia bkn ajar ko harini, esok ko dah jadi managing director kan? to be a manager (or what so ever), you need experience. bukan senang2 nak naik terus kan? that was what my bosses did. ajar, train, motivate. kalau dia manager yang bijak, dia akan fikir tu, for the sake of the company! nasib ko malang aa dapat boss camtu dulu. perhaps, you blame you ex-boss. mana tau, mmg dulu salah ko tak perform, and your junior did. stop blaming others la people! kan da dapat bodow dari aku, tahniah! tapi seriously aku pissed off gile ngn mamat ni. dah la masa tu dah passed midnight. penat pon yer aku, dah seharian kat luar. didn't expect to meet this bunch of people.
(3) this was from the same guy! (help me!!!!). Dia cam btol2 want to drag me into the business. *me nangis*. Then dia start cakap pasal making you OWN decision.
Boy : you kene decide mende ni sendiri. ini you own life. takkan la orang lain plak nak decide life you. takkan ni pon you nak tanya parents you. ni life you.
Me : *silent* (maybe this gentleman here thinks my silence was sign of approval of what he said. oh pls! it was sign of aku tengah muntah hijau)
Boy : contohnya kalau you nak kawen. takkan tu pon nak tanya kat parents? mak-mak.. saya nak kawen~
Me : (what the fu*k this man!!! menyampah tahap nak lari balik rumah. tapi nak jaga hati kawan aku kat sebelah tu.. dang!)
Boy : You yang nak kawen, bukan family you kan? ahahaha~ takpon kalau nak gi tengok wayang. takkan tu pon you nak tanya parents you kan? ahahahahahaha
Me : ( started to look other way. Ya Allah siriyes aku takleh tengok muka dia dah time tu. rasa nak penampor jer)
Boy : Oklah, you pon nampak da penat tu. muka pon da mengantuk. oklah... harap you boleh consider k!
Me : (yes!yes! yes! akhirnya)
Ok yang ni mmg aku tak tahan. ya Allah, Engkau berilah ketenangan padaku.. aku mmg rasa meluap2 sangat time ni. Allah bagi ko kelebihan "berani" bercakap sikit, ini yang keluar dari mulut kau yer?? aku mmg tak sangka dia boleh cakap camtu. ooooo... dulu masa kecik2 ko baru keluar dari perut mak ko, berak pon mak ko yang basuh, ni dah tua ko boleh cakap tak perlu tanya parents untuk buat decision in life??? kawen tak payah cakap kat mak abah??? dia mmg totally tak sedar apa dia cakap apa dia cakap la aku rasa.
Satu lagi, diorang tend to say "nasib baik" they found the business.. hurmm... macam yang kasi kau rezeki ni "the business" bukan Allah.. cakap
Alhamdulillah kan lagi bagus. *ustazah mode*. ehehehe.. tapi siriyes, aku pon jahil jgk, tapi cuba la kan. dapat rezeki walaupon sedikit. always says
Alhamdulillah!
tak pasal2 aku emo balik ni. hehehe... that night aku balik rumah around kol 2. kalau mak aku tau ni mmg kene semelih wat bbq da aku. hehehehe... aku tak blame kawan aku, sbb this is how they work. cara diorang nak tarik orang join their business.
Bila cakap "
their business", mesti cam. business apa?? kalau kita cakap business, mesti ada jual beli. itu yang kita terbayang terus kan? tapi dalam lebih kurang 4 jam aku kene brainwash tu, rasanya only 30 minutes jer they were explaining about the product. anyway, aku macam berminat dengan product tu. yg lain, diorg cuma brainwash aku suruh join this MLM. apa yg aku rasa, mcm x kena la kn.. mmg la once ko involved, automatic you will consume the product. dia punye konsep jual beli lebih pada jual beli ngn diri sendiri. then how to make money?? yes, find MORE people to be like you.
itu aje lah.
okbai.
