A lot of people are talking about inefficient efforts, and Alex’s approach is a completely inefficient effort;
Because doing things entirely based on feeling, unstructured, without any purpose, and paying the same labor is always the least rewarding.
For example, in high school, there are always a lot of people, every day bury their heads, study hard every day, but the results are still mediocre.
But every year, when the top students share how they spend their time, most of them are play games, read extracurricular books, all kinds of hobbies, as if they have so many time and can’t finish;
In the company, there are many people, because of a variety of projects, scorched, busy, but the effect of the final project is too bad to be accepted ...
But there are always some people, easily get things done, and the result is better than you.
There is no good o bad goal, but there is a good and bad way to achieve the goal.
A good method must not be based on the feeling, must be rational, targeted, and can be improved.
What would you do if you were to work in a foreign trade service company and let you sell the company's services to businessmen who do foreign trade?
Most people will do this: Every day make the phone call, and then go door to door selling the products;
But there was one person who did this: First of all, he found that foreign trade merchants have a common behavior: Send International express, so he makes a good relationship with the international courier.
Secondly, he found that foreign trade merchants recruit generally through the newspaper to release job advertisements, so he improves his relationship with the newspaper company;
Then, he stores 50,000 oversea customer information on his phone, and send out blessing message during the festival;
So, the courier told him the news, the newspaper company told him the news; when the overseas customers have demand, they will first think of him ...
When someone else signed 2 orders in one month, he had signed 17 in one month.
All the hard work that is done without thinking and all by feeling is an inefficient effort.
