Holy Gardens Pangasinan Memorial Park Trainee Journal - Armida Christine Garcia

"I listen and I forget, I see and remember, I experience and I understand" - a Chinese proverb

What did I learned:

On my Orientation May 14, 2012 with Ma’am Aireen Ricamara I have many things learned from the History of the company and how it established and known from the public. It was established year 2002 and the mother company was Unisun Group of Companies. They had established many Business like the Unisun Homes Subdivision, Unisun Supermarket Inc., first Super market in Angono Rizal, The Aqua Flow System and Services and San Antonio Funeral Homes. They start to established business of Memorial Park and had 11 branches of it. When time comes to divided for the owners of the company the 5 Branches was given to Sir Jorge Saguinsin, the San Fernando La Union, Morong Rizal, San Carlos Pangasinan, Calamba Laguna and Calapan Oriental Mindoro. I have learned and memorized by heart the MVBP of the Company, the mission, vision, belief and principles that convinces me to pursue my job and be part of the company’s  MVBP. Our LOGO relates to our Mission, the Espiritu (relation that God is within us), Practice(Do it with courage) and Corde(what we do even when no one is watching).

 I was knowledged enough from the Company Products it selling, the Lawn Lot, Garden Lot, Senior Single Niche, Garden Estate and Junior Family Estate. I’am familiar from the location of the Lawn Lot, Regular (middle lots), Special Premium(along the path walk), Prime(along the Road) and Super Prime (corner lots) and the new product was the ASH CRIPTS.

Success begins in the mind, I was convinced by this words. I f I want to be successful in needed to start to think of my self as a success it is the realization of desire goals. Picture our way to success through visualization, cutting out pictures it is an example of picturing ourself to a way of success. To be a successful person we need to have a sense of mission, vision to customer product, high speed innovation and self inspired behavior this are the secrets to success.  We need think that we own the company through this we will realized to have more ideas in the success of our company and also it will be our success. Everything matters we need to be affected if problems comes to our company and to act from the solution of the problem.

Attitude is the window of the world, everyone starts with a clean mental window, control the attitude we  because attitude determined life towards ourselves. To have a positive attitude we need to eliminate all the negative words that always comes to our mouth, this will help us to be a positive person and if we are like this we can come up in a positive results.

We need to be Committed in everything we do, we need to be willing to do every challenges comes to us what ever it takes, we can move mountains. ABCD doctrine, Accept (conviction), Believe (Faith), Cooperate (conversion)and Dance with the music (Delivery and Action). Every employee had a duty, to be Diligence- meaning to persevere, hardworking or to be a no limit person. Obedience- to do what is ordered, happily or enjoying to do the order given. And Loyalty- having faithful adherance to the company, product and offices.

We had an important component of being faithful this are the start small low-high position, be on time- No late be professional, Do the hardest job first – to make the easy works not yet done, Organize your self- setting goals, leave the other things aside that not relates to work, Welcome Responsibilities – whenever oppurtunity comes take it, Accept Correction- be positive and learn from the mistakes and lastly Practice Self-denial.

To win friends and influence people, we need to  smile, appreciate, remembering names, listen, Interest and Don’t complain, condemn, criticize and chismis. We should to know our people, our business, prospects and selling. Insist Realism, to be realistic and always to look to what happening, Set clear goals and priorities- to have a plans for a day, Follow through-things need to follow, Rewards the doers- appriciating and greetings, Expands people’s capabilities- giving responsibilities and know yourself.

Quality –is defined as the conformance to standards as defined by customers wants and needs and as modified by competition.  The indicators of Quality are Absence of reworks/rejects, Long life product, trouble free operation, Nice and clean appearance, Promptness of delivery, Product safety and excellent after sales service. Manifestation of non-quality are Late deliveries, Incorrect Invoice, reworks, cancellation of contracts and engineering design changes.
To have quality service we need to start and finish everything on time, deliberately reduce inventories, Avoid reworks, rejects and recycling operations, There must be a visible sign of Quality (5’s), Meet competitive International Standard and let your customers meet your workers.
Importance of quality it is the source of work-pride and satisfaction, quality products lead to more sales, more profit and ultimately more benefits to workers, and quality builds the image of both the individual and the company.

All company should have maintain 5’S the SEIRI – Sorting out, SEITON-  Systemic Arrangment, Straightening, SEISON- Spic and Span/ Scrubbing, SEIKETSU- Extending to one’s self/ standardizing, SHITSUKE- Self-Discipline.

Professionalism or Professional selling – is the ability to make known your goods that people to appoint of creating a desire, oppurtunity or an interest. Presenting a products and services for the interest so that their needs, requirements and vision are over achieved in the time frame that they define. This is the achieving goals of customers. Customers experience the feeling they bought. We have three (3) kinds of Customers this are the Prospecting- imigate prospects or the KKKK, Referal prospect  and the cold prospect- not known or seen from a directory.

Golden Rule: All things being equal people will do business deals and refer business to those people they know and trust. To create good reputation, the greatest achievement is to satisfy customer. To satisfy our customers we need to treat our customers as if they were your friends, to our customers we need to serve them even in holidays, weekends and after office hours. Have commitment to the customer: under promise, over promise, Long term value of the customers deliver, we need to delight them and value golden moments like the moment we contact them, tripping, Closing sales and Delivery Documents. And when they have complaints pamper them like king and queen.

When time of offering products to customers there are words need to replace the inflammatory words vs. go ahead words. In selling to customers we need not to say the price to them because it will let them think that we are doing sales talk that will turn them not to buy our products. Avoid telling the word Down payment, Monthly payment, Deal, Contract, sign, Buy, sold and the company. Instead use the Go ahead words the total Investment, initial investment, Monthly Investment, Wonderful Oppurtunity, Agreement, Aprrove, Own, happily Involved  and the Word We. This will help us to have more sales without letting our customers think of negative.

Memorandum Circulars – Need to be Master, this is about customer service excellence (Service delivery), The main objective of this was to sell more by way of customer satisfaction and delight, to increase repeat sales and to increase awareness by WOM ( word of mouth). This will ensure the Customers our excellent service we have.
Customer who pays for the product/ service, Service one who serves, a servant  and it involves having customer not only as queen and king but as God – Divine “KAMISAMA”
Excellence was the quality, doing the right for the time and everytime, zero defects, constant improving, exceeding our limits (To be a no limit person), being better, self-mastery and being very detailed. Customer service is to determine the most important service. Service is the customers want more that just the product or service that is offered, they also want to treated well. Service Mission is direction or vision of an organization that supports day-to-day interactions with the customer.  Service is Intangibles that deals with the human side of an organization, they include human emotions, behaviour, understanding, feelings and perceptions. The products and Services this are materials, products and services that are state of the art, competitively priced and meet the needs of customers.

On our A.M. talked with Ma’am Brendalyn G. Garcia she was thought us many things we needed to know especially the CSS obligations, as a CSS2 she thought me my responsibilities especially during Interments and Sales. I have guidelines to follow in preparing the interment needs up to pre-interment to post interment. I also learned to use Microsoft office picture, Adobe and Movie Maker. I also learned to post the Pre-Interment and Post Interment on time in the Holy Gardens Notices. Replenishment of the expenses we use on the Interment, Filling up all the data in the A.I form, Requirements need to complete by the clients.

On our reflection the “I Offer My Life” sacrifice- living sacrifice for God, Family, others and self.

“UNIQCSEX” unique customer service experience the feelings of the person who experience the service we do for them. Story of the product sell we need to be knowledgeable in telling the products we offer. Experience of the customer regarding the product after they buy, the change of the emotions and feelings of the customers through the product. And the behavior, change of the behavior, believing of the customer through the offer we do and to the product.

“Pabongga Bonanza”, I am encouraged by this and willing to do my best in selling for me to achieved my dreamed price. 5 lots per month up to December, 3% Additional Incentives in excess of 5 lots a month for the CSS and ACMO. June 1 – December 15.
