What I usually do at this time is looking for inspiration for the next layout design.
Because we are free newspaper, our income mostly comes from advertising.
So besides art editor, I am also sales.
My boss was working for World Journal for 26 years and is very experienced.
He shows me how to deal with customer and how to communicate with them.
We have to treat ourselves as helper who tries to help customer's business.
Also, we are business consultant who is able to give customer advice how to run their business.
We are looking for win-win relationship.
By doing sales, I have chance to know different kind of business including restaurant, dentist, real estate, insurance...etc. It is good for me because the experience help me on communication and skill of dealing different people and situation.
At the beginning, it is hard for me to talk to a stranger and convince him to put advertise on our newspaper. Practice really helps me on build up confidence. The trick is that the better I know our product, the better the presentation will perform.
