Almost every marketer's wife (or girlfriend) hopes her husband (or boyfriend) can achieve the ideal of 'high pay, little work, close to home, sleep until naturally waking, high position with heavy power but light responsibility, and counting money until hand cramps.' But in today's increasingly difficult business environment and fierce competition, this is somewhat wishful thinking for most marketers. If the 'good wife' can understand, that's best, but if not... alas! In view of this, to promote a stable and harmonious life philosophy, reflect the spirit of the times, and improve the life satisfaction index of marketers' wives (or girlfriends), the following 'rules' are formulated based on years of personal experience and reference to many 'scholars' both at home and abroad, for all marketers to reference: Rule 1: The wife (or girlfriend) is always right! Rule 2: If the wife (or girlfriend) is wrong, refer to Rule 1. Rule 3: For marketers in the 'hot commodity' stage of life, it's inevitable to be surrounded by beautiful women, but for the long-term stability of the 'market segment' (family) and to fulfill the 'agency' promise of 'a hundred years of harmony,' one should strive to be single-minded in love and avoid the phenomenon of 'a flock of wives and concubines' (those who have seen the movie 'Cell Phone' or have personal experience know how tiring that is, and nowadays investigation companies are pervasive and paparazzi are elusive, hard to guard against!). Rule 4: As a marketer, the long working hours, high intensity, and heavy pressure are beyond ordinary imagination. Being wronged or scolded at the company is common, but be careful not to bring bad emotions, bad temper, or troublesome matters home, to avoid lowering the wife's (or girlfriend's) life satisfaction index. Rule 5: If the two of you are in love, healthy, financially stable (relatively), resilient, harmonious, and have a place to live (renting is fine), consider formally establishing a cooperative relationship (marriage) or jointly expanding the lower-level market (having a child). Rule 6: Strengthen the maintenance of the love relationship, communicate more often, topics can range from Sudan Red, clenbuterol to SK-II counter removal, car recalls, from US presidential elections, Thai coups to tsunamis, earthquakes, car accidents, air crashes, from Super Girl behind-the-scenes stories, the whole story of My Hero to RMB appreciation, stock market surges------ Rule 7: Always remember never to return home after 11 PM or even midnight for more than five consecutive days (unless you've informed and obtained consent), otherwise be prepared to sleep on the street or in a hotel. On days without social engagements, it's best to return before 10 PM. Also, try not to make or answer business calls after returning (except for important matters). Rule 8: When going on business trips, remember to make a self-funded copy of the 'business trip plan' (omit confidential parts) so your loved one can know the general situation (like whereabouts, destination, duration, purpose), to comply with the trend of 'strengthening remote management.' Rule 9: Each time salary, commission, and bonuses are received, except for a portion kept for personal use (note: not too little), the rest should be 'handed over' after 'warming up.' Rule 10: During holidays, if free, visit the mother-in-law (or prospective mother-in-law) often, and bring health products or tonics that are often seen on TV and in stores; don't be afraid of spending. When on business trips, buy local specialties and save them (if expired, responsibility is yours) to bring back and give together. Rule 11: Strive to buy her 'good things' every quarter (if difficult, every half year) (buy often? Where would the money come from!), such as brand-name clothing, bags, cosmetics, with a value preferably between 500 and 1500 yuan (a little over is fine, but don't be too stingy; giving something worth a dozen or dozens of yuan to fool her will have dire consequences. What era is it? What? Give her money to buy herself? That won't have the same effect!) Rule 12: Clients visit the company every year, so why not... Therefore, use the slack season to arrange for your beloved to 'visit' the company (applicable to long-distance couples), and strive to have the boss or relevant department leader personally receive her (preferably with a meal or two). Of course, tasting local or nearby famous snacks and visiting local or nearby famous attractions is also essential. Rule 13: For married marketers, at least every two months (no more than three months), create conditions and take time to go home for a visit, even if you stay for a few days (or even one day). During the New Year, it goes without saying, unless you have other plans. The logic is simple: your own wife (or girlfriend) shouldn't be less important than the C-level (class) clients you meet once or twice a month as required by company policy! Rule 14: On occasions such as the wife's (or girlfriend's) birthday, your child's birthday, and anniversaries that women value (like engagement, marriage, first meeting), don't forget to send your blessings and gifts promptly. The techniques you usually use for customer relationship management can come in handy here. Rule 15: To effectively stimulate domestic demand, every year you (and if possible, both families) should go on a trip together; time is flexible, location is optional, as long as you're happy. Rule 16: Never encourage shopping sprees (unless you have money to burn), 'disco dancing' (easy to cause trouble), mahjong, long hours of TV, online chatting (the most terrible is 'naked chat' now, heavens!), which can harm health and waste money. Instead, promote reading beneficial books, making good friends, cultivating elegant hobbies (like stamp collecting, photography, painting, music appreciation), 'hanging out in cafes', practicing yoga, aerobics, and outdoor sports. Rule 17: The principle 'sexual happiness leads to happiness' is known to all on Earth. So, buddy, whether you're in a long-distance relationship or living together, remember to 'deliver the grain' on time. Rule 18: Regardless of whether her figure is 'devilish,' if your physique is not beautiful, your body shape is poor, or you're overweight, you should take effective measures to improve quickly. This can both win her smile (unless she prefers the old you) and avoid displeasing the boss (whether pressure is low, tasks are light, targets are low), clients' confusion (whether profits are amazing), and subordinates' disdain (whether it damages the company image). Rule 19: Whether using beginner-level equipment or professional-grade gear; whether at a surging seaside or a scenic mountain; whether in classic traditional style or creative modern fashion------be sure to rack your brains and use all means and conditions to record the moments that witness your most beautiful and pure love. Rule 20: If you have any, write down your occasional feelings, insights, longing, sorrow of parting, and melancholy in a diary, whether long or short, as long as it's your true feelings. You don't need to write every day; once or twice a week is enough. But importantly, whenever you have time, take out your diary and savor it with her. Rule 21: As much as possible, collect books, newspapers, magazines, videos, and related reviews that you think meet the criteria of exciting content, easy to understand, moving plots, appealing to both refined and popular tastes, interesting and good-looking, and conducive to building or stabilizing your two-person world (or most of these), and then recommend them to her at the right time. Rule 22: Although it may not fit Chinese customs, and although both of you may feel cheesy, you should seize every opportunity and use perfect 'props' like reunions after long separation, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, fragrant rose bushes, intoxicating moonlight, beautiful nights, etc., to devoutly, sincerely, and passionately whisper to her that you love her, love her forever and ever!
