I remember when I first saw my client as a new partner, it was really embarrassing. It was a party to celebrate our excellent sales achievement, we went to KTV to make some fun. As I was too young and nervous about meeting with client at first time, I didn’t make any sounds since I met them. After a while, there was a girl finally notice me, and she asked my name. The KTV was too noisy to hear others sounds, so she couldn’t reach me even I said a few times, during this time, the client’s boss suddenly looked at us, and said to that girl who wanted to know my name, “oh, that girl, just ignore her.”. I was deeply hurt, even my boss wanted to break out this awkward silence and gave me some encouragement. I still remember the sadness from that night till now, but after that, I started to understand, no one should pay attention to the guy who don’t want to be seen on their own initiative, unless they are indispensable. People grow up by hurt.
