Positiveness in Sales

Now you can turn from negative to positive in your sales. Use these proven top 5 ways:

When what you sell has no choices, like it is the last piece, and the customer asks if there are other choices, turn this into a sale by saying, "You are lucky, this is the last and only piece. Usually, we would reserve this for our regular customers, but since you are interested, why not take advantage of it? It would be gone fast, and I would rather you take it than someone else. Let me give you a good price to make it easier for you, is it okay?"
When there are obvious defects in your product and the customer notices it, you can say, "That's why this is the price we are selling, it is a good 20% off the regular price. For you, I can give you an even better deal"
When you have no staff to serve customers, make it a special moment by telling your customers that they can now take their time to browse freely and gather all their questions and ask in one go to save time
When your product is more expensive than the others, sell the value. "We would have easily competed on price to gain more sales, but we focus on longer-term customers coming back to us. We focus on value and you can get more from us in the form of better and faster after-sale service, post-purchase advice, and other free value-added services.
When your company is new and has little track records to show, turn this into a special moment by telling your customers, "That's why we value our customers more and provide even more to ensure that they can be our returning customers and even refer customers to us. Tell me, what do you want and what would you like to do and we'll go the extra mile to serve you"

The above methods are simple but effective. Use them today!

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...

You think 'Dear You' is Special? Wait till you watch 'Niu Lai'

The film is 《牛来》 (Niu Lai / The Cow Is Coming ) , an 86-minute Chinese animated film released on 5 August 2026. It was reportedly made by a mother-and-son team over 5 years, mostly hand-made, without sophisticated production technology or AI. The production cost is only RMB 1,680 . Initially, it was a disaster. In its first ten days, it reportedly earned only about RMB7,700 . The animation looked extremely crude, publicity was almost nonexistent, and it appeared destined to disappear. Then something extraordinary happened. The worse people said it was, the more people wanted to see it Pictures and clips began circulating online because the animation looked so amateurish. People mocked it. The mockery went viral. Instead of killing the movie, the criticism became its marketing campaign . People began thinking: “Can it really be THAT bad? I have to see this for myself.” Even cinemas reportedly posted unusually candid warnings about its rough production quality, effectively...
