VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S+W]

Very busy this week.
To send the monthly statements to agents and check with them.
I also have class on Sunday.
It is just a standard form and if we have problems with the amount we need to check with them.

I cannot control the money. I think if I use mobile payment I just feel like the money goes out very fast.
I only use alipay. But I just want to chose one of them. so I chose alipay.
Sometimes I do shopping on taobao so alipay is easier.

It is ok, if I open an envelope in a group I can only get few.

No we only use bank transfers because in China we cannot transfer USD with alipay on the company business. We have to send all the documents to bank and transfer.

I was very busy this week.
I had to send the monthly statements to our agents and check with them that the statements are accurate
I also have a class on Sunday.
It is just a standard form and if we discover any  with the amount we need to check with them.

When I use mobile payment I cannot control the money/I find it hard to control my expenses/spendings . I think if I use mobile payment I just feel like the money is spent very quickly/doesn’t stay very long.

I only use alipay. I just want to use one of them. so I chose alipay.
Sometimes I shop/buy things on taobao so using alipay is better for me / more suitable.

I don’t use WeChat pay but it is ok, if I open a red envelope in a group I would probably only get a few dollars anyway.
At work we do not use alipay. we only use bank transfers/wire transfers/wire payments because in China we cannot transfer USD with alipay in the company‘s business. We have to send all the documents to the bank and transfer.
I often have to do that.

An agent sent you a message to remind you he hasn’t received payment for January yet. Reply to his email:

Dear John,
we confirmed the amount but it is still very small in order to save the bank charges could we forward to next month?
If you agree that I will send you updated statement list as soon as possible
Thank you,

with my best regards,

Laura.
