Chapter 236 Starting a company is still difficult(2/2)
"In third- and fourth-tier cities, I also know that the demand for tutors is relatively low, and there are some experienced teachers who organize make-up classes privately. To be honest, I even thought about giving up on cities below third- and fourth-tier cities at the beginning."
"Later I thought that if a website wants to be the best in the industry, it can't just make money as the criterion. Popularity and influence are also factors that need to be considered, so I still liberalized website registration rights in third- and fourth-tier cities."
"These are 12 annual memberships."
Chen Zhu glanced around the team and said seriously: "We can't say there are only 12 people, but we should think that there are 12 parents from other places who trust us without having met in person. Just this trust, we
Something should be done.”
These words were quite inciting, and Fang Qing couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do to respond to these parents who trust us?"
"The cost-effectiveness of establishing offices and advertising in third- and fourth-tier cities is indeed too low compared to demand."
Chen Zhu's tone was frank and did not mean any criticism.
He said slowly: "My idea is to conduct research at the gates of middle and high schools in those cities and distribute promotional materials. Old teachers have the ability to organize make-up classes at home, and there may be some young teachers who want to make some extra money, but
Are you suffering from lack of channels but afraid to recruit and publicize aggressively?"
"If this kind of research and publicity is ineffective and the teaching staff still cannot keep up, we will refund the membership fees of these 12 parents."
Chen Zhu said: "But at least we have tried hard to open up the market in third- and fourth-tier cities. It's just that the time is not ripe now."
After hearing this, everyone felt that this was a moderate solution. Many of the young teachers in those schools were graduates of 211 University.
"So, who's going?"
Zeng Kun asked such a key question.
This is equivalent to a business trip around the province, and you have to go to the gates of junior high schools to preach. You can imagine the intensity of the work.
The most important thing is that the result may not necessarily be effective, it is just a brave attempt.
There was some hesitation in Zhang Guangfeng's eyes. He felt that he was the most suitable candidate.
After all, he is a young and strong man who does not need to go to school or teach. He just has a newborn daughter, and he is a little reluctant to let go of the soft and gentle home at home.
"I'll go!"
At this moment, Song Qing suddenly spoke.
"you go?"
Zhang Guangfeng finally gritted his teeth and said: "I am a girl, otherwise it would still be me..."
"I'll go, there's no danger in the country."
Song Qing repeated it again.
Chen Zhu looked at the thin and small Song Qing. She must have been eating more normally during this period, and her formerly dry and yellow hair had gradually gained some color.
In fact, at her age, many people have just entered graduate school, but Song Qing has been working for several years, supporting her younger siblings in their studies, and experiencing the grief of her mother's death.
However, her high-spirited fighting spirit still emerged in her body. In fact, Song Qing was also Chen Zhu's favorite candidate for the business trip.
"Okay! It's all thanks to you."
Chen Zhu made a decision.
Zhang Guangfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the teacher mentioned the classmates around him when asking questions in class.
However, Chen Zhu changed the subject and announced an important decision:
"Song Qing will be promoted to the business manager of Traceability Technology with immediate effect. The basic salary will be increased from 600 to 5,000. A daily subsidy of 60 will be provided for business trips, and all food and accommodation will be reimbursed."
Looking back from its establishment to the present, in addition to the manager Zeng Kun, a second official leader finally appeared.
"I……"
Zhang Guangfeng was stunned for a moment, and he felt like vomiting out the regret in his heart. If the boss had announced this good thing earlier, he would have fought hard to get it.
The monthly salary of 5,000 yuan is higher than the apparent salary of many civil servants.
But how could Chen Zhu announce this decision in advance? Only those who dare to face the difficult environment are qualified to receive this reward and this position.
Not only that, Chen Zhu also said to Song Qing: "The company will provide you with a laptop before you go on a business trip, so that you can work as a customer service person while traveling."
Zhang Guangfeng's head was buzzing, and he vaguely felt why he had been a temporary worker for many years and was conscientious in his work, but every time there was a quota for becoming a full-time employee, he was never given the opportunity.
Even if something went wrong in the unit, he would be pushed out to be the "scapegoat".
Before, he always thought it was because he had a deeper relationship with others, but now Zhang Guangfeng seems to understand a little bit. In fact, because of his own personality, he has never been able to become the leader's confidant.
Therefore, an inconspicuous decision at work can affect the life of ordinary people.
Now that the company is small, Song Qing's "business manager" benefits are only reflected in salary and income.
Once the company expands or even goes public, these people will be the real veterans.
After Chen Zhu announced his promotion decision, he said to everyone sincerely: "Eastern Guangdong is a big market. Take Guangzhou as an example. I wonder if you have read the "Guangzhou Municipal Education Bureau" released by the Education Bureau this year.
Business Overview White Paper.”
"There is such data. In 2007, Guangzhou had 500,000 primary school students, 400,000 junior high school students, and 170,000 high school students."
"In such a city, there are more than 1 million people who may become potential customers of our website, but we currently have less than 700 annual members, which shows that the space that can be tapped is huge."
"Everyone, come on!"
Chen Zhu lets others work hard, and he himself will not be idle.
After Song Qing went on a business trip, there was one less person in the office in a short period of time, and Chen Zhu also planned to go to the TV station to discuss cooperation. If everything goes well, the attention and traffic will really explode, so he needs to increase the number of customer service personnel.
Nowadays, customer service staff must undergo speaking skills training before taking up their posts, so arrangements must be made in advance.
Since he had a taste of Song Qing, even Zhang Guangfeng was very serious about his work attitude, so Chen Zhu continued to ask his parents to help introduce him.
But this time Chen Zhu had one more request, he needed to find a blood relative.
Chen Zhu had no intention of developing the company into a family business, but the reason why he found a relative was because as the number of people in the company expanded, the team would definitely become more and more difficult to manage.
Having a relative placed there allows me to keep track of the public opinion among employees at any time.
This trick is not taught in books, so Chen Zhu doesn't know it, but Chen Chu can.
