Malaysian vs non-Malaysian
Currently, I do work part time as a seller of health products. We had a booth that nearer to fruit stall. So, many people will pass by there. I meet with many people either from Malaysia, Chinese, Korea, Thailand, and many other countries. However, I can saw a difference between the Malaysian and non-Malaysian. Usually I would greet the person who passed by my booth. For example I will say...
"can you spend your time for a while?"
or
“can I use your time? just a minutes"
From the questions, various reactions I get.
From Malaysian:
"sorry,... saya xde mase nie,,"
"produk ape nie? xpelah... lain kali je la ye,,"
"owh, xpelah.... dah ada dah"
From non-Malaysian:
“Actually, i have no time, but i will spend about a minute"
"emm.. okay, but make it short"
“I’m sorry, I have class, but I will come later”
So, can you see the differences between Malaysian and non-Malaysian? How their response? For non Malaysian, although they do not have the time, they still give some time for me to explain about the products that I sell. However, it is differ with Malaysian people especially Malay. Sometimes I did not finish my words yet, but they already said “no, thanks”. If this situation happens, I always said to myself “it is okay, there have many more customers” or “maybe today is not my day”.
From this experience, I was learned many thing. Besides I had learned the ways to convey and convince other person, soon, when I become a counselor, I could be ready with reluctant client. I will not quickly angry and give up if the client did not want to come to counseling session. However, I will try to find another solution to ensure they will attend the session. For example, I will meet the client personally and explain to them about what they will get from the session. So, I will try my best to convince my client to come to the counseling session because i know they need help.^^
