51. Doing marketing is like a farmer tending crops: sowing, weeding, watering, fertilizing, and spraying pesticides—every step is essential. If any step is missed, you will pay a heavy price later. There are no shortcuts in marketing.
52. Due to the nature of the job, frequent business trips are common. Occasionally flirting with a girl to unwind is a bit of fun; doing it constantly is a severe mental disorder.
53. The ultimate backup plan is continuous learning. Keep adding value to yourself; your leverage is always whether your abilities match the problems others need solved.
54. When market problems seem unsolvable, visit the market in person a few times. Upon returning, inspiration will strike, because there is a divine presence on the ground.
55. When a company starts incurring losses, it has already sent you a warning that your departure may be imminent.
56. In a company, avoid being a "weather vane" (fence-sitter). Stick with one person and follow through to the end.
57. Almost every company has only a few senior executives or veterans. The ups and downs are just games the boss plays to keep them in check; the boss doesn't really intend to get rid of them. It's important to see this clearly.
58. Even if a capable and conscientious leader falls, they are worth following. Remember: leaders can bounce back quickly.
59. No matter how harsh the internal or external environment of your organization, remember: don't neglect performance for the sake of pure office politics. Performance is the foundation of all struggles.
60. The so-called workplace benefactor is someone who needs you, and you happen to be professional, and most importantly, they trust you. There is no love without reason, nor hate without reason.
61. The boss, employees, and customers are three lines in different directions. The only intersection is that everyone can make money. If there's no money to be made, no one can have peace.
62. Don't worry that your boss doesn't see your performance. If they truly don't see it, there are two reasons: First, the boss doesn't want to see it or pretends not to. Second, your performance isn't big enough, or you think it's big but it's not. If you shine like the sun, radiating light in all directions, there's no way they won't see it.
63. Trust that leaders have good memories. They may not remember the good things clearly, but they will definitely remember your mistakes.
64. If your superior specifically investigates something, it's best not to lie. If you must lie, make it a well-prepared lie that can hold up. Remember: when a leader specifically investigates something, they come prepared.
65. If you want to turn against someone, use brotherhood to pursue common interests; if you want a long-term relationship, use common interests to pursue brotherhood.
66. In the workplace, not every situation calls for going all out.
67. You can show care beyond your level, but you cannot manage beyond your level. However, you can report level by level, and you can appeal over your superior's head.
68. Salespeople only do what you assess. Human nature is inherently lazy.
69. Summer insects cannot talk about ice, and well frogs cannot talk about the sea. If you're not on the same wavelength, don't debate. Only compete with peers, not with fools. This is the same principle.
70. Shape your personal brand label—loyalty, dedication, conscientiousness, and other positive traits, not laziness, selfishness, pettiness, or other negative ones. Your label is built from every detail of your daily work and life.
71. Though the path is short, if you don't walk it, you won't reach the end; though the task is small, if you don't do it, it won't be accomplished. Avoid being ambitious but lacking in action, or being half-baked.
72. Humanized management and humane management are two different concepts.
73. Top management does the right things; bottom management does things right. Top management talks strategy; bottom management talks execution.
74. The best way to improve execution is constant follow-up, like the bugle call of a sentry during the Anti-Japanese War.
75. At the execution level, the simpler the better. The best reference for design is a "fool."
76. From a profit perspective, don't try to change your boss. Reasons: 1. Bosses are hard to change. 2. The boss will let mistakes change themselves, not others. If you insist on changing the boss, most of the time the outcome is embarrassing.
77. Sales work is like a hen laying eggs. Don't complain about the stinky and dirty droppings; instead, study how to make the hen lay more eggs. This applies to any job. Complaints, frustration, and tediousness are normal. If you're not the rule-maker, you must adjust yourself to enjoy the fun within the rules.
78. The 10,000-hour theory isn't entirely correct, but professional and proficient skills are definitely developed through a lot of deliberate and repeated practice.
79. In the future, credit is the most valuable asset. No credit, no transaction. High-level credit is the golden signboard for survival.
80. Those who fly high after a long time will soar; those who bloom early will wither alone. If God wants to destroy someone, He first makes them mad.
81. It's easier to get things done if you have connections in high places; it's good to have a big tree for shade. Follow the right person and enjoy benefits for life.
82. The longer you work in an industry, the smaller the circle feels. Building a good reputation is essential.
83. If the process is done well, the results will naturally be good, provided that the process has negative incentives and the results have positive incentives.
84. Internal strife is sometimes tolerated and even desired by the boss. Checks and balances are one of the boss's favorite tactics.
85. A workplace expert must be a combination of high emotional intelligence and high intelligence.
86. The crying child gets the milk. Sympathy for the weak is human nature. How to cry depends on one's own luck.
87. For gray income, if one person can't handle it alone, it's best to distribute it relatively fairly. Otherwise, one day you'll be betrayed by those whose interests are harmed.
88. Don't be a spreader of negative energy in the company. Since ancient times, those who disturb morale have been executed without mercy. If you really can't hold it in, find someone outside the company to confide in.
89. The camp is iron, but soldiers come and go. Fortunes change. Don't make things too hard for each other; we're all just trying to make a living.
90. Kindness doesn't lead troops, emotion doesn't accomplish tasks, righteousness doesn't manage money, and goodness doesn't make officials. But the saying "I come to work, not to make friends" is what the boss wants employees to do. As an employee, just keep that in mind.
91. Internal financial data reports can expose all lies in sales work reports.
92. As a leader, you must have a strong business sense. In simple terms, business sense means the company must make money, and make money continuously. Not making money is a crime, equivalent to being a rogue.
93. In a company, it's necessary to have a few people who often cheer for you.
94. At company meetings, the boss talks about the corporate vision and the hardships of entrepreneurship; employees shout slogans and raise hands in loyalty. It's all a game of fooling each other.
95. Don't be complacent about so-called bonuses; they're just a game of changing the bait within the financial budget.
96. Choice is greater than effort. When you see clearly, charge forward. Since your situation is unique, don't consult too many people, or you'll be like the little horse crossing the river.
97. When a company's spiritual wealth far exceeds the material wealth it provides, leave immediately.
98. The cure for complaining and grumbling in a company is to choose entrepreneurship. If you still have worries and concerns, then shut your mouth, empty your mind, and go to work honestly.
99. The ultimate outcome of sales is "Deng's Theory"—whether it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if it catches mice.
100. Everything depends on communication. Obstacles and gaps begin to shrink when communication increases.
