Do you think it is crazy to sell an apple for 1,000 dollars? However, I think a successful business leader should be that crazy. I believe an apple is absolutely possible to be sold for 1,000 dollars. Let me show you how. An apple may only sell for 30 cents if putting it in a supermarket, but it could sell for 5 dollars if using the apple to make apple juice in a hotel, it could also sell for 100 dollars if Lady Gaga 留學(xué)生dissertation網(wǎng)signed her name on the apple, and think of if sending the apple to the moon, what price could it sell when the apple come back? I believe people are willing to buy the apple for more than 1,000 dollars. So in the business world, nothing is impossible. Do you remember in the first episode of the first season of 《The apprentice》, the big boss—Trump asked all the contestants to sell lemonade, and divided them into two groups by gender. The group earns more money within a day will be the winner. Though the men sold more lemonade, they sold lemonade for 1 dollar while the women sold lemonade for 5 dollars by giving every buyer a kiss or their telephone numbers, so the women group finally won. The key to their success was the women know how to use their advantage to make people willing to buy lemonade at a higher price, and then they earned more profit than the men. It is important for business leaders to seek every possibility to improve competitiveness of their products and to make ultimate profit.
As the women in 《The apprentice》, I know how to attach extra value to the product itself, making the product more profitable. In the last year of my high school, my parents’ company had a yarn exhibition in Shanghai, China, and I was an assistant to help to make introduction brochures and small samples of our product. I found that beautiful packing would attract more clients. Other companies just simply gave every client a flyer of the introduction of their companies, however, we made introduction brochure instead of flyers, and if clients showed their interest in our product, we also gave them a well-http://www.400190.com/thesis_sample/Uk_thesis_sample/packed sample of our product. Our exquisite packing and beautiful brochures convinced people that our product has higher quality than other companies and our company offers better service. In this way, we developed a large group of potential clients. From the successful experience in the yarn exhibition, I have reasons to believe that I will success in my business career, as I believe every possibility in marketing and investment world.
Another important characteristic I have and I believe which can make me a successful business leader is I like to make friends and I am always getting well with people around me. I am an international student, and one of the biggest benefits I gained from one-year study in US is that I made a lot of new friends who are from Japan, Korea, America, German, and all over the world. I think they are my most precious fortune from now to the future. A successful business leader not only should have strong knowledge of marketing or finance, but also should have good relations with people around him. Friends are very important no matter which career you are pursuing. I believe people who have more friends are easier to succeed. #p#分頁標(biāo)題#e#
In my freshman year, I tried to get involved in campus. I was a member of Mckinly Health Center’s Special Populations Students Health Concerns Committee, Chinese Students & Scholars Association, 留學(xué)生dissertation網(wǎng)Business China and Phi Eta Sigma. They are all wonderful student organizations and good ways to meet new friends. I have attended an I-program in this semester, which is a good chance to develop leadership skills. I also feel I improved negotiating skills from this program, so I hope I could continue to attend it in next year. U of I has a big campus, and it fits me very well. I really hope I could transfer into college of business, so that I can continue to pursuit my goal in U of I.
