After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 17 Heresies
There are more women than men on TV.

In the past two days, Zhou Haoran has been dealing with all kinds of women.

During the business meeting in the afternoon, the sales director Meng Xuemin was a man, and I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him.

Compared with the HR interview, the business interview is even more informal.

Not only was there no employee badge, there wasn't even any assistants.

As for Meng Xuemin alone, whether he can be admitted depends entirely on his personal preference.

Zhou Haoran took the red-headed document issued by the human resources department and went to the sales director's office on the sixth floor.

Meng Xuemin has a square face and is very serious.

As soon as I saw him, my face looked unhappy.

Zhou Haoran handed the documents over with a smile and said, "Hello, Director Meng, I'm Zhou Haoran. I got full marks in the first two rounds of interviews..."

"How old are you?"

Meng Xuemin interrupted him rudely.

Zhou Haoran could only tell the truth, "Eighteen years old."

Meng Xuemin said coldly: "I don't want children here, go back!"

His judgment was accurate.

What kind of sales experience could an 18-year-old have? He needed experienced salespeople who could be hired right away, not someone he needed to train.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Director Meng, during the first two interviews, I..."

Meng Xuemin interrupted him again and said rudely, "What the HR department says doesn't count with me!"

Zhou Haoran nodded and said slowly, "That's right. I scored full marks in the first two rounds of interviews, the best performance among all the job seekers. Director Zhan also encouraged me, saying that I have excellent qualifications and meet the requirements for special admission."

Director Zhan is Zhan Yushan.

Director of Lifestyle Channel.

The top leader!

If he had not been implicated in this sales scandal, he would most likely have been promoted to deputy director and concurrently served as director of the life channel.

The situation now is very complicated.

There is no hope for the deputy director.

It’s not certain whether he can keep his position as director.

If the life channel's business does not develop as planned in the second half of the year and there is no major rebound, Director Zhan may have to move to another position.

To this end, Director Zhan mobilized all resources and transferred Meng Xuemin, the sales director of the urban channel, to the life channel to help him reorganize the sales department and complete this year's sales plan.

The two were educated youth who went to the countryside in the same place and were friends for life.

Zhou Haoran had no idea about their relationship.

I just want to shock him by using the director's title.

To bring both parties back to the interview table.

Don't just kick me out without saying anything.

Sure enough, the effect is very good.

Meng Xuemin's aggressive attitude softened somewhat. "Exceptional admission?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I know I don't have any sales experience, so I might not meet the requirements for this position. But I have good qualifications, and the sales department is in need right now, so we should recruit talents regardless of their background."

Meng Xuemin sneered, "You are really not modest at all."

"The most taboo thing in sales is modesty."

Zhou Haoran looked into his eyes without any avoidance.

"Hmm?" Meng Xuemin couldn't help but look at him with admiration. "Do you have any sales experience?"

At this time, another person came into the office.

The middle-aged man, wearing black-framed glasses and with a round face, looked gentle and refined, and did not have an employee badge.

Meng Xuemin pointed to the chair next to him and asked him to come and sit down.

It seems that he is here to accompany me for an interview.

Zhou Haoran said methodically, "I didn't have any sales experience before, but now I do, and I was just thinking of asking the two interviewers for their comments." "Now?" Meng Xuemin smiled strangely, "Okay, tell me."

Zhou Haoran said, "I think everyone is a salesperson. It's just that everyone sells different products. Some sell houses, some sell insurance, some sell advertising, and some sell computers."

“What did you sell?”

"Myself."

"Ok?"

Meng Xuemin was slightly stunned.

I think this guy's approach is very strange.

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "Finding a job is a process of selling yourself. From yesterday to today, I've successfully sold myself twice. I got full marks both times. I scored better than all the salesmen!"

Meng Xuemin narrowed his eyes, "This is the third time."

"Yes, the third time."

"You can't get by."

"No salesperson in the world can guarantee that he can sign every order." Zhou Haoran said calmly, "I have succeeded twice. Even if I fail the third time, I will still be a very good salesperson."

Meng Xuemin said, "But you still can't get past me."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "So Director Meng admitted that I am a very good salesperson."

"interesting."

Meng Xuemin understood what he meant and thought this kid was very smart.

Zhou Haoran said, "Director Meng, your job is to recruit the best salespeople. But the first two rounds of interviews have proven that I surpass all the salespeople when it comes to selling my product!"

Meng Xuemin was amused by him, "The boy is quite smart."

This is actually a paradox trap.

Zhou Haoran was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he had to explain it in detail.

“No salesperson is always successful. I have succeeded twice in a row. Even if I fail the third time, I will still be an excellent salesperson.”

"Since he's an excellent salesperson, the sales department should hire him."

"But if I'm accepted, I won't fail the third time."

"So, was this third attempt a failure or a success?"

"There's a huge paradox here. If we want to solve this problem, we have to change our mindset at the source."

Meng Xuemin listened to his speech carefully.

I thought about it for a while.

Then he looked at his round-faced companion wearing glasses next to him.

The round-faced companion nodded. "According to what you said, how should we change it?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "It's very simple. Change the assumptions. If they succeeded the first two times, they will succeed the third time as well. This salesperson won three times in a row, proving that he is a better salesperson. And the best salesperson should be admitted. The admission result just matches the third success. The paradox disappears, and the logic works."

Meng Xuemin was really tempted.

I wasn't convinced by him, but I thought he was very eloquent.

Because sales is a job that requires talking.

In other positions, this kind of fallacy might be useless or even counterproductive. But in sales, it's different. Being able to use fallacy is a sign of quick thinking and agility!

Meng Xuemin praised: "Young man, you are very quick to react and very good at speaking."

Zhou Haoran felt that he had already got the job and said happily: "I did not violate the recruitment regulations. These three interviews are my sales resume!"

"But..." Meng Xuemin pointed to the colleague next to him, "Do you know him?"

Zhou Haoran shook his head.

Meng Xuemin smiled, "Then why did you say he encouraged you and that you were very qualified and met the requirements for special admission?"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was stunned.

At this time, the middle-aged man wearing glasses smiled slightly and said slowly: "My name is Zhan Yushan, and I am the director of the Life Channel."

Zhou Haoran’s head buzzed!
