Speaking exercise

Did you reach the percentage for your sales target?

Is it easy to hit the target of 200K Yuan in one 40 minute slot?

What hurdles did you overcome to reach your goal?

Last tv slot I reached it was the first time I reached the sales target 100%, and its also just over that percentage. It was around 120%, so actually it was a big successful achievment. And the sales targets in one 4o minute slot, actually its not so easy to be achievable, depends what kind of products you are launched to customers. Last tv slow we were selling our Japanese brand storage boxes. Before last tv slow we have already done a lot of different tv slot about this brands different products, because Japanese product price are so high compared to noather brands similar products, so before that we didn’t achieve the 100%, sometimes we achieved 40% of that, because he price ius really high compared to other products. But now from lastmonth we had a very long negotiation with a Jap factory and we told them if you still want selling your porducts in those very excellent sales channel you should cut down your cost and make it more value for mopney which means you have to decrease the price of the priiducts and you can save the costr of the package, and we have to make the products have a more competitive price. so after that negotiation and the factory changed their minds and they just make their products like advertisement. So from last month all of a sudden the products are selling like hot cakes. The product became a hit.


Last tv slot was the first time I got the 100% sales target, almost around 120%. So actually it was a big successful achievement. And the sales target for one 4o minute slot, actually its not so easy to achieve. It depends what kind of products you are selling to customers. For the Last tv slot, we were selling our Japanese brand storage boxes. Before that we’d already done a lot of different work about this brand’s products, because compared to other brands, Japanese products are expensive. so before the most recent slot we hadn’t hit 100%. Sometimes we got to 40%. But from last month we had a very long negotiation with a Japanese factory and we told them if you still want to sell your products on those high end sales channels you should cut cost and make it more value for money, which means you have to decrease the price and you can save on packaging. So after that negotiation the factory changed their minds and they just made their products like an advertisement. They don’t wanna make any profit from those. So from last month all of a sudden the products are selling like hot cakes. They became a hit.
