Dedicated to Our dear distributor friends born between 1970 and 1979 As we look back... I still imagine I'm 18, but I'm almost 40! Really? I don't want to think about it, but I have to face it. Once, every day was full of vitality like a shot of chicken blood, running the market door-to-door on foot, never feeling tired. Now with cars and careers, we no longer have that passion. Once, for a single deal or a customer, we could brave wind and rain, talk until our lips were worn, just for a tiny success. Now a phone call or a text message can do it, but we have lost the arrogance of youth. Once, we were ecstatic over small progress, but now as our businesses grow bigger, it seems we have everything we should have, yet our hearts grow heavier, and it's hard to find a sense of achievement and satisfaction... Yes, youth is capital. Facing the rise of the post-80s and post-90s, are we post-70s still young? The time we wake up has changed from noon to 7 a.m., and the time we sleep from 2 a.m. to 11 p.m. We post-70s distributors approaching 40, Start working, start dealing with all kinds of manufacturers and customers; We post-70s distributors approaching 40, Gradually hate socializing and drinking at banquets, prefer to quietly accompany our wives and children, take care of family; We post-70s distributors approaching 40, Facing customer complaints and life's helplessness, learn to smile faintly and let it go; We post-70s distributors approaching 40, No longer have youthful arrogance, treat setbacks and difficulties as life experience, try to be tolerant and patient; Once, proud we all harbored lofty ideals, left our hometowns, in unfamiliar cities, just to find the truest dream in our hearts. Once, no matter how hard life was, no matter how difficult customers were, we thought as long as we worked hard, we would succeed. Once, there were many careers to choose from, but we silently chose the harder path... When competition intensifies across the industry, when sales become harder, will we post-70s still say, youth is not afraid of failure? We were born in an era that emphasized ideals, but had to live in an era that emphasized reality, We spent the most beautiful years of our lives in a great era of transformation and change Our generation craves success, even eager for quick success, striving to reach heights to compensate for what the previous generation couldn't achieve in value. We are on a great voyage; we need someone to cheer us on. Sometimes we may be so tired we want to give up, but when we think of our business, our employees, our family, we take a deep breath and continue forward. I believe there is always a shore to dock. We post-70s distributors approaching 40, The era when selling a case of drinks was satisfying has gradually been replaced by countless contracts, reports, products, and suffocating pressure. We post-70s distributors approaching 40, For employees, for family, for career, we have no regrets. Even if we suffer, we must persist, even if we have to humble ourselves to ask for help, even if we endure countless disdainful looks. We post-70s distributors approaching 40, When encountering business difficulties, we no longer complain, Silently bear the pressure, rushing to customers, markets, or various training sessions; We post-70s distributors approaching 40, Living amidst criticism, we learned to accept; Living amidst ridicule, we learned to be shy; Living amidst hostility, we learned to forgive; Living amidst jealousy, we learned to admire; Living amidst shame, we learned to respect; Living amidst poverty, we learned to become rich; Living amidst indifference, we learned to sympathize; —The post-70s have matured. Influenced by traditional culture and revolutionary education, we value ideals, are relatively conservative in thinking. We have experienced poverty, and have improved our lives and changed society step by step with our own hands. We are pragmatic and good at creating. But now we have houses and cars, yet we believe in interests and like to solve problems with money. It is the social environment that has changed our values and outlook on life. Have you ever had moments like this? When an employee makes a mistake, you take the blame on yourself, comforting them and yourself: It's okay, I've been through that age too... Have you ever had moments like this? Getting drunk at the dinner table just to close a deal, not for money, but for the responsibility as a boss and the pillar of the family! Have you ever had moments like this? In the dead of night, when employees have rested, you are still thinking about how to deal with business problems, how to change yourself to adapt to the changed environment... Have you ever had moments like this? You don't even have time to eat all day, you don't know how many packs of cigarettes you smoke, either talking business or thinking about things, even on the way home. Have you ever had moments like this? You come home so tired you don't want to talk, often complained by family for not spending time with them, and you find that people around you don't understand you, and you suddenly feel speechless. Have you ever had moments like this? You have many friends around, but they all have their own families and careers. When you get together, you still feel lonely. Have you ever had moments like this? Suddenly you want to cry, but you are so sad you can't shed tears. Have you ever had moments like this? You have a lot to say, but you don't know how to express it. Have you ever had moments like this? There is an inexplicable anger in your heart, you want to vent to someone, you want to shout out loud. Have you ever had moments like this? You feel like you have nothing, as if abandoned by the world. Have you ever had moments like this? You have many dreams, but you can't achieve them. Have you ever had moments like this? Suddenly you can't find yourself, you've lost yourself. Have you ever had moments like this? Then cheer for the lovely post-70s distributors! ********************************-END- The best FMCG distributor learning platform in China Focusing on providing professional, practical, and useful tutorials for enterprises and distributors Committed to helping Chinese FMCG distributors grow rapidly The most professional and practical knowledge base in the FMCG industry Reply with the red number below to get the corresponding content Reply with number 1 to view the complete knowledge base | 001 Excellent article selection | 002 Distributor market operation | 003 Terminal visit management | 004 Sales supervisor skills | 005 Sales improvement techniques | 006 Channel expansion | 007 Managing distributors | 008 Distributor development | 009 Distributor internal operations management | 010 Team management | 011 Efficient distribution techniques | 012 Sales manager's eighteen skills | 013 KA operation methods and strategies | 014 First lesson for new sales | 015 Internet, brand | 016 Distributor B2B transformation | [Long press QR code to follow]
