Back to the prime of life

Chapter 43 Mr. Lu

This is what Lu Changge planned, and he will be responsible for organizing and preparing the specific content of the workplace training.

There are three reasons.

First, after more than a month of careful research, he definitely has a better grasp of the content than Zuo Shuya. Second, after all, he has the experience and vision of later generations, some of which can be integrated into it. Third, he is the one with rich work experience.

This job looks simple, as if it's just copying, but if you don't have anything in your mind, what you say will be empty.

Another reason that is not a reason is that this thing belongs to the "core value" of the store. If he does not get involved in this thing, why should he get 80% of the share?
However, he will not bother to make it into a PPT format. He will directly make the document. The job from document to PPT is a simple copy, and Zuo Shuya should be able to do it.

Arrived at Caiyun Village 3.

He showed Zuo Shuya what he was selling.

"Public speaking skills training—how to eliminate the nervousness of speaking in front of a crowd?" She was truly enlightened today. "These self-questioning, self-answering lectures and workplace case studies really sold for over 3000 yuan?"

Lu Changge said, "If you were just an ordinary friend asking casually, I would say yes. But since we are going to do this together, I will tell you that the trick to this matter is not in the content. As long as the content is made presentable with care, it will be fine. The real key is actually the sentence with the question mark.

How do you eliminate nervousness? How do you overcome a tongue-tiedness? How do you understand your boss's cues? Got it? The key is to use questions that almost every professional faces to elicit their anxieties about navigating the workplace.

As long as they're worried, they'll buy. That's why I say this thing has potential. Just ask yourself: when you first started working during the National Day holiday, were you stressed? Were you upset? Did you desperately want someone to give you guidance?

Zuo Shuya had personal experience, so she understood it immediately. With some empathy, she said, "If this can really help newcomers who have just entered the workplace and are still unsure of their place, then that would be great. While helping others, we can also make some money ourselves."

Lu Changge didn't say much after listening to it. It was good that she was willing to think so, and he wouldn't analyze the term "selling anxiety" in a harsh way.

It is very important for a person to identify with what he does from a value perspective.

"Well, just think of it as selling a book. It's only a hundred bucks or so. Even if people don't use it, it can still relieve some of their anxiety and give them some psychological comfort. And if they do use it, that would be the best."

Zuo Shuya agreed even more.

"So what does it mean to give a video lesson?"

"My idea is this: we can categorize all the problems we encounter in the workplace and present them to others in the form of videos. This way, my higher price seems reasonable. Otherwise, a few PPTs and a book, over 100 yuan would be a bit expensive. And videos convey the most information."

Lu Changge thought about it and added, "It can also help those in need to the greatest extent."

"So how much do you want to order?"

“要看你讲出来的视频课的质量。我初步是想定到150到180这样。哪怕是150，如果我们一个月能卖出500份，这就是7万5。”

In fact, the Internet-style explosion is particularly powerful. As long as the content is acceptable, the monthly sales may exceed a thousand.

Zuo Shuya also counted, if it was 7, her commission would be 5. This is a huge amount of money.

"I want to do it," she said, her interest piqued. "But I really have no experience in giving lectures."

Lu Changge said, "It's okay. I told you that you're a lawyer, so your ability to express yourself is no problem. You should have confidence in that. The rest is just a matter of practice. It might be a little awkward at first, but you'll get better with practice."

We can start by doing it together and recording it a few times, so that by the end it’s all in your head.”

Zuo Shuya also has an advantage, which is that she is prettier.

Then I can spend some more time on her clothing and makeup to make her look like a mature, intellectual, urban white-collar elite.

Anyway, he had been discussing these things with Zuo Shuya the entire afternoon, including which school she graduated from, whether she had interned in any large company, which law firm she initially worked for, and so on.

Lu Changge wasn't someone who only talked about things on paper. He'd worked on specific projects, experienced the workplace, and considered everything in great detail. By the end, Zuo Shuya's face was a little red. "You've packaged me like this, and I'm almost a successful person."

"Don't interrupt." Lu Changge was thinking while spinning the pen. He was very focused when doing things.

"I'm sorry." Zuo Shuya sat up straight, a divorced young woman who was as well-behaved as a young wife.

"I'm thinking that, in addition to packaging and content, your lectures also need something that inspires people. Training courses aren't just about teaching theories; they also need to arouse emotions. If the emotions are right, people will believe whatever you say."

Zuo Shuya said, "Since what we say is true, why are we afraid that others won't believe it?"

Lu Changge said calmly, "Yes, what we said is true. But not everyone understands the correct truth."

"Ok."

"I figured it out." He wrote it down with a pen. "People who can attend my class must be those who want to make progress in the workplace. So you should add this motivational sentence at the beginning of each class."

This is what is called mobilizing emotions.

Zuo Shuya tilted her head and watched Lu Changge write word by word. His handwriting was that kind of running cursive script, which must have been practiced. Each word was neat and beautiful like standard small regular script.

She mused to herself that the handwriting was quite beautiful.

Then she slowly recited, "I will fight with life for a few more years. Either I will be destroyed, or I will be destined to create glory. If one day you find that I have bowed my head in the face of mediocrity, please fire at me! - Kerouac's "On the Road"

Lu Changge said, "You can try to think of the opening of your workplace class and say this sentence. Believe me, words are powerful. After you talk about it more, we can summarize how to mobilize emotions and other methods."

In this way, the course that Lu Changge required to be presented included the packaging of the lecturer, the packaging of the content, and the care for the emotions of the listeners.

He didn't think he would be worse than the elder sister he met in his previous life. He had seen the videos made by the elder sister, which were just straightforward narrations of workplace stories and some classic jokes that she had copied.

She only has a high school education and was forced to take this path.

Regardless of his academic qualifications, he had at least worked seriously in the workplace.

"Tomorrow I'm going to get my hair done, buy some clothes, and then start recording. Tonight, I'm going to familiarize myself with the content."

"Yes." Lu Changge took out a thousand yuan from his pocket. "Buying clothes and getting your hair done are both for work, not personal expenses. I'll pay for it."

Zuo Shuya didn't think about it in this way, but she already knew Mr. Lu, whom she knew, very well. He did things in a thoughtful and appropriate way.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Changge was of course aware that she had changed her address, but he had never asked for it.

"That's all for today. Before I leave, I have something to say to you: No matter how good you are to others, it's not as good as being useful to them. Let's encourage each other."

As a woman with a unique experience, she can certainly relate to it more deeply. As for the purpose of saying this, it is certainly not to show off my knowledge.

Rather, it is his basic quality as a manager: to mobilize your subordinates to work for you with all their strength.

After Lu Changge left, Zuo Shuya sat there and kept thinking about the past, and then looking forward to the future that had begun inexplicably. Considering the failures of the previous two months, she was more motivated this time.

She had to be useful.
