Is this going to be a 'venting' blog entry? I really dont know.
Past weeks had been a daze to me. From trying to keep the whole family back to the pink of health to trying to make my numbers in this slow economy.
At the same time, I had a fallout with my former sales team from my previous office. She accused me of stealing her prospect, who is my current customer. To make the story short, she accused me of being a liar and that I was that desperate for my numbers that I would steal anything to get it. It was okay if she called me a liar (which I am bad at doing so, you can call me whatever you want) but of her accusing me of stealing to get my numbers? I dont know, as much as I have tried so very hard to shrug it off but heck...that was some hurtful statement that she had thrown at me.
She mentioned that if I were her friend, I would not steal from her. But then, if she were my friend, she would have given my customer my current phone number and not go ahead and made the sale for herself no? I didnt say that last statement to her as I was too busy defending myself with the accusation. I am just not good with 'sudden shot' comebacks. But in the end, the customer did get in touch with me and ended up buying second insurance from me.
Sometimes I wonder, when does a friend really become a friend? When does a friend just turn her back on you and stab you in the front?
I guess I will NEVER find out. Life's like a box of chocolates remember? You will never know what you're going to get.
For now, I still could not believe that she had said that to me.

I hear ya. Just redhakan the customer to her, don't think twice about who is to blame (basically buat bodoh and save you the pain of hurt and anger) and surrender your rezeki to Allah.
Trust me. You will get many more coming , insya'allah.
uja, initially, i thot of giving the account back to her but my boss was against it as it was the customers request to have me as her agent and she requested for me. if i were to transfer account to her, the customer will be mad.
i told the customer about what happened, she was upset, not with me but with my oc worker and asked me if she should call my co worker and explain to her. alah why get my customer involved and i told her thats okay.
It's a dog eat dog world
