Chapter 36: Welcome Party
Soon it was Friday. Aryana and Elaine presented their proposal for a training module focusing on building self-confidence. The duo’s idea was for the trainees to do a video blog of the property that they intended to sell and do a role play where fellow trainees get to act as a different types of customers.
"And how would the vlogging help them build confidence?" Julia smirked. "Everyone can do a vlog now and there are so many shameless people who post trash on the internet. Shamelessness is different from confidence."
"Well aren’t the most successful sales agents, are shameless and the most thick-skinned? They are also the most persistent." Aryana retorted.
Everyone in the room was speechless including Erik.
Elaine elbowed Aryana.
"He he he. I am just kidding."
Julia glared at her.
"When people do a vlog then they get to see how they looked like and sound like. They get a chance to see their mistakes and to improve them. We can also easily weed out those who are not really qualified and save us time and effort on further training them." Aryana continued confidently.
"This does not require a lot of investment so we can do a pilot for this. Good job Aryana and Elaine. The meeting is over." Erik glanced at Aryana before leaving the conference room.
"I didn’t know how you sold your trash idea to Erik. You must have used a special way right?" Julia intentionally spoke loudly for others to hear.
"Miss Lopez, you have to speak clearly and not insinuate, otherwise people will misunderstand. You are talking about the CEO’s reputation here. Are you saying that the CEO’s decision is influenced by currying favors?" Aryana said politely but her words have hidden meaning.
