Sunny Worldwide Logistics General Manager Alice's Entrepreneurial Story
During my first month in sales, I cried more than a few times.
When my boss wanted me to transition from operations to sales, I resisted with everything I had. I said, "I don’t know how to do sales." He replied, "You have potential." I said, "I can't do it." He said, "Just give it a try first."
As a result, during my first month, I didn't close a single deal.
Every day, watching others sign contracts and host dinner celebrations after work, I sat at my desk feeling as if a huge weight was pressing down on my heart. When I got home at night, talking to my husband, I started crying: "Am I just not built for this?"
After crying it out, I still went to the office the next day as usual, making calls and sending emails. I didn't dare slack off because I knew my boss trusted me, and I couldn't let that trust down.
Towards the end of the second month, I finally closed a deal. It was a very small client with a small shipment and slim profit margins. But I followed up with utmost dedication for an entire month—quoting prices, confirming details, booking cargo space, and handling customs clearance, keeping a tight eye on every single step.
The client later told me, "Ms. Yang, you are the most responsible person I've worked with."
From then on, the orders gradually started coming in. It was only then that I realized a truth: there are no shortcuts in sales—it’s all about powering through. Once you push through the hardest phase, the road ahead becomes smooth.
Looking back at that time now, I’m truly thankful for my own persistence. If you are currently facing a bottleneck in your business or a low point in your career, I want to say to you: don't rush, don't give up, and hang in there a little longer—you never know which try will be the one that succeeds.
