Today I was pushed to spread leaflets.
I had to advertise a language workshop.
Since I enrolled to global organization called AIESEC I encounter new challenges everyday.
I'm kind of enjoy it, but spreading leaflets seemed to unrewarding.
People usually don't want to take hold of it.
Often you aren't convinced for this you're advertising.
You're ashemed of being so bothersome and pushy.
I felt the same, but I deicded to change it.
What I did first was to change my thinking.
I started to think about myself as a perosn who helps others to develop their language skills.
Being sure of what your doing is crucil at least in marketing.
Not only did I give them leaflets, but also I started to talk to them.
Firstly I spoke some common phrase like „ here you are” or „come and master your language”.
It was working, at least they were taking it.
Then I came into wonderful idea.
I was promoting English workshop, so why don't to hand it speaking in English.
I started to imitate a foreigner student. That worked!
Not only did they take it but also they thanked me with a smile on their face.
Apparently English girl seemed to them more attractive and convincing than Polish one.
What's more it was something new.
It's very hard in my country to bump into the leafleter who is speaking in other language, so that's why it attracted their attention.
Thanks to this experience I relized that everything depends on your perception and also I gained motivation to study English.
You never know where it can be useful.
