Secret technique

(Flashback still going on)

With the new appearance, Victor is even more confident to appear as a front liner. After learning a lot from the sales class, he practiced it carefully on each customer. Not everything worked, but he learned lessons from each action. Victor's communication skills are also improving.

Even so, despite trying his best, the weekly evaluation said that Victor's performance was the lowest among the others. Until one month has passed, the monthly evaluation results still say the same thing. Rami tells Victor that he lost to Luis and Eka because Victor doesn't have VIP customers yet.

When he heard the notice from Rami, Victor was surprised because his two friends had already got VIP customers. Victor didn't expect that his new friends moved so fast.

"Learn from them," Rami told Victor with a straight face.

Victor felt a threat. Have a high chance of not being accepted as an employee. So, in Victor's mind right now, the most important thing to maintain his presence there is to get VIP customers.

"Don't you have a target?" Rami lures Victor to be more competitive. She sat cross-legged. They are talking in Rami's office right now. Just the two of them. Victor thought hard, should he tell Rami that he has a target?

"Don't tell me you just focus on shaping up your body in the gym. I told you, it's not just a place to form a body. You have to be smarter, use the time and opportunity to get someone who can be your VIP customer," Rami emphasized. She always does this to new employees.

"I have. I'll get that person this week," Victor said excitedly without thinking about the consequences. His heart was already pounding to win from his two new friends.

"Good. Make sure you succeed. Otherwise, you probably won't be kept, you know that right? Oh, do you need any tips on how to successfully approach potential VIP customers?"

Victor's left eyebrow raised.

Rami, who knew Victor was in desperate need of advice to successfully catch up, finally told the secret of approaching potential VIP customers. Victor opened his ears wide. Finished listening to the secret technique, Victor walked out of the room with thoughts that kept repeating Rami's words. Victor seemed to be sculpting every word in his head.

Victor then sends a message that he wants to get together with Luis and Eka after work. Victor honestly said that he wanted to ask for advice so that his status as an employee would not be threatened. Luis and Eka are willing to give time, they promise to meet after work hours.

All day, during work, Victor did not fully concentrate on work. Victor thought of the secret way explained by Rami.

There is a way that Victor thinks is not very good. People shouldn't do that just to earn money. However, half of Victor's heart said, if it works then isn't it okay to do? Isn't it the most important thing that we achieve success?

However, Victor thinks we should not use unscrupulous means to achieve success.

"If you use the sales techniques of our class, you will get a mediocre number of customers like this. However, if you use the X technique I've told you, you'll get more than you need. This is not a secret, HRD knows that our employees whose sales have successfully reached hundreds of millions do this technique. We let it, because for us the most important thing is sales success. We don't fire those who can make good sales," Rami said.

The explanation was followed by a warning so that his relationship with VIP customers did not go viral on the internet. If that happens, Victor will be fired.

Working hours are over, Victor rushes to where he has an appointment with Luis and Eka. They met in a bar, it was quite quiet and did not turn on loud music, so they could talk comfortably. This is the first time Victor walked into the bar.

"It's awkward, you guys invite me to meet here," Victor said, his head spinning to look around.

"Oho! this village boy, actually we have often gathered together here. You never want to. After work you go home if you don't go to the gym," Luis protested.

"So, I really missed it?"

"Yes, You missed a lot of things!" exclaimed Eka.

Victor sighed. It turned out that focusing on forming a body according to company standards would not save his career.

"What should I do? I need your advice guys. Where do you get VIP customers and how do you approach them?" Victor expressed his anxiety on the spot.

Luis patted Victor on the shoulder. "Rami has already told the place very clearly, right?"

"Fitness center?" Victor confirmed.

Luis and Eka nodded hard.

"You guys got it there?"

Luis and Eka nodded again.

"Damn!" exclaimed Victor.

"There must be someone you can target, right? Just look at the vehicles they use when they come to the gym, the mobile phones used, the shoes worn, t-shirts, everything... If they are all branded, it is clear that they are from that circle. They are the targets!" said Luis.

"Maybe Victor already had a target, but he was embarrassed, didn't know how to communicate with that person," Eka told Luis.

"Oh, then... It's easy, use approach techniques when you approach women. Ever dated, right? Use the same method," Luis said. Then, he also told the ways practiced to approach his target.

"These ways don't exist in the sales class. Because all this is street style!" said Eka.

"Then, more importantly, you must dare to do the tips given by Rami. We put it into practice and it worked," Luis added.

Victor's brain was like a fire. His heart was also pounding, challenged to do something he had always believed to be a bad deed. Should Victor go against his own beliefs?

Luis has got a sugar daddy. This motivates Victor to get Mario. Victor asks Luis to share tips.

Luis shares a more detailed approach technique with Victor. It made Victor's mind open. However, these tips are actually very dangerous because they can change all his life beliefs so far. These tips also changed his view of the world.

Victor wondered to himself, has it been too old-fashioned all along?

Victor also asked Eka, how did Eka get a sugar mommy client from among socialites who did not hesitate to buy expensive items for the sugar mommy's popularity?

Eka replied, "Obey whatever the client's wishes, including..."

Again Victor got an answer that gave goosebumps all over. Victor had never heard if the sacrifice was so real and done by people like him. Should Victor be one of them?

"If you want to succeed, do whatever they ask," Eka's words reappeared in Victor's head when he woke up the next morning.

It was Victor's day off and he was feeling pressured by the sales target. Victor then thought, going to the gym could help him to divert his mind. At least exercising and meeting people will distract him temporarily.

Victor has arrived at the fitness center. Victor was used to the floor plan of the place. His personal trainer no longer needs to be with him all the time, because he just needs to repeat the training menu as usual. His body has also been formed to the company's standards, although the six pack has not been fully formed, but his appearance is already much better than when he first entered the fitness center.

Yoshi wins his bet with Mario. Yoshi also reports on Victor's progress to Mario after each training session.

Today, when Victor came on holiday and was lifting weights, Victor could see Mario approaching him. Mario's steps reflected on the glass. Victor turned his head before Mario became very close to him.

Mario greeted him, Victor also answered him. With uncertain feelings, Victor accepts Mario who is being nice to him.

"I didn't expect to see you today," Victor said. They had often greeted each other before, but Victor never dared to communicate more than just talking about what they were going to do in the gym. Victor thinks that establishing a good relationship with potential VIP customers should be done slowly. But it turns out that Luis and Eka did something opposite to him and that made Victor lose a step.

"Oh, me too. Yoshi would definitely not be willing to accompany you if you come on a holiday like this," Mario said.

Victor laughed lightly. "You are right. He just reminded me to be careful. He doesn't want to work outside of his working hours."

"If you want, I can help, supervise you. I'll replace Yoshi," Mario said.

It was like there were fireworks burning on Victor's head. Like a for tat, Victor also seized the opportunity.

"Maybe this could be the best opportunity to approach him and ask him to be a VIP customer," Victor said to himself.

"Okay," Victor said.

Because they agreed, Victor began his training under Mario's supervision. Their communication became more plentiful than usual.

"I think that's enough," Victor said after training. "Do you have any events after this?"

Mario looked thoughtful. "Nothing," he replied after a while.

"Then do you want me to treat you to coffee? In return, thank you for helping me today," Victor said.

Mario thought again. "Okay. I didn't refuse a treat. We go in my car and I determine the location, how about it?"

Victor swallowed. He felt that Mario already knew his purpose. "Do whatever they ask of you," Eka and Luis's words echoed back in Victor's mind.

Depressed about wanting to maintain a career and wanting to succeed soon, having a lot of money in the account, Victor agreed. Finally, Victor goes with Mario by car and to the café of Mario's choice.
