I woke up early today. 6am I traveled back to Khaosan Road and search for a daily rate place, took a bath, dressed up and travel again for my meeting with BIG C. By 10am I was within the area. (The picture above is the BIG C Supercenter in Ratchadamri Road.) After waiting in line, to my dismay, I was told to re-schedule the meeting and call them again.

Now I have to gather my thoughts. I settled down BIG C Supercenter's food plaza and sked for a schedule with them. I also did a lot of thinking if I missed out something. And I remembered that I was not able to get in touch with IDS so I gave them a call. I was a ble to reach Khun Nuch secretary of IDS Managing Director. It was a different situation selling a product by phone. Its a good thing that I was able to create a simple script that will only take a few seconds explaining the product.

Upon explaining the product to her, I was asked for any materials that would support the claim I was telling her. Instead of faxing the usual proposal I mentioned her to visit www.lotionsucks.com to have a better grasp of the product. She hanged up and told me that she will get back to me within the day. After that, I travelled forth in search of Watsons which is located at Klong-Teoy, Bangkok. It took me 3 hours to find the place and left the proposal with their purchasing head and was asked to get back to them after a weeks time.

I have my ups and downs that day. The DOWNS!- The re-scheduling of my meeting with BIG C, follow up meeting with WATSONS. Add to that I was called by Khun Thu and Khun Uiy, friends of Tita Tessie (friend of Tita Ian, Autnie of my brother-in-law. What a network!) regarding Diethelm Distribution, that they cant carry Beahc Hut since htey are already carrying a competitor with them.

My UP! - Khun Nuch called back and wanted an immediate appointment with her boss and me at Sheraton Grande Hotel in Central Bangkok. He will be traveling form the province to meet me. Now that is really great news!


Looking forward for tomorrow!
