Many call it business but I pegged it as generosity.
Electronic-load (e-load) is an electronic form of load credit for cellular phones' Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in a particular network provider. Of course, if one would want to work with calls, Short Message Service (SMS) or text messages, and the like, one needs to have it loaded with e-load or the use of cell cards.
But one thing more important here is about my experience being a retailer of an e-load business. Since it turns out that I have it more that two years now, I think it's about time to tour or give you little hints on the job (I call it job because I don't bother to acquire it even as business) I am with now (still operational at present).
Here's some strange facts, "do's and don'ts", and firsthand experiences of me being a retailer of an e-load business. Read on, soak into it, find out, and even discover it for yourself (and you'll learn to handle things much of care, I tell you).
ANTICIPATE THESE!!!
• It was supposedly a personal e-load. Though most of the time e-load is bought for customers' consumption, I managed it as my personal load wallet but it turned out not to be the latter's point. It became my peers' call-in-out e-load retail, and of course, I became the e-load retailer (thinking to profit even a little).
• Profit-oriented turned out nothing. For a little business like that of e-loading, one profits a very little percentage of a number (e.g. For every P500 e-load retail, there is a P68 profit or 13.6 percent). Given the case, there is a petite amount of money acquired. Not bad to give it a try for a start. But problems arise from credit to payment (memory loss, I think, or intentional wary, I just don't have any idea).
• Credit is trust. Learned from an economics class, when you take in for a borrowed amount it would turned out that one is as well giving the person a dignified trust. It accounts also with e-load crediting. But taking advantage to the given trust is too much especially that the response is negative (some people requests load more often than paying it, with all the promises).
• Bothering and troubling – e-load request. First thing in the morning, if you ever happen to grab your phone, don't anticipate a personal text message but rather expect an e-load request. Oftentimes, you'll be bothered during the night (specifically late at night) with the same thing (customer's don't even thought of thanking after but rather have resent cause of delay, though not true to all, there are still some that express gratitude).
CHECK THIS OUT!!!
• Too forgetful. Many people nowadays have disregarded, ignored, and took no notice of reminding themselves for a credited account. It' would be too skeptical for a person who would bother to make some reminders of him/herself about things that have not even take an inch for all the job of the day (won't even bother to say a word).
•Asks for a discount. It sounds very interesting if one will see something of discount. That amounts from the fact that it is a credit but solicits for a discount. The idea of profit orientation would be eliminated with that event (bold enough to ask for discount to think that it's even a credit).
LESSON-LEARNED!!!
• Don't be a pessimist. It goes without explaining the word. The notion of pessimism travels long distance from the idea of keeping in touch with people of their negligence to self-blame because of the same point. Most people took advantage of the delicate good of a person notwithstanding the situation and notion of it (be clever enough to clean the mess and turn it upside down, next time).
• List it down. Make it into a habit that taking notes is as important as reminding one's self for accounts of people who fondly credits but stably forgets. Always secure with you a pen and a paper for the list. Have it even with details of the transaction and info for your remembrance, and it even signed by the concerned (good for travel basis, wherever you go have things secured, job doesn't just stay at home or school, it goes everywhere).
• Remind people from credit. After having notices of one's self, remind people about their long-been debt. Try to be bold an open, enough to discuss the issue with them. Though sounds demanding, but one has to do it, else one will not just profit but would not even get back the capital (to be strict is for one's good).
There are a lot of things that need to be discussed in this page but I would rather not further give more details about the topic because it would end up to disappointments (too kind that people took advantage of it).
PS: Every detail stocked in here are based on what I believe is right and a firsthand experience. This is just to give you idea on how to be in the job (and this has nothing to do with people involved and concerned).
