My second trip to Penang for industrial training.
The last trip was mainly on technical works.
This time, we’re given the opportunity to get our hands on another aspect in the engineering field: sales and marketing.
NEPCON is basically an industrial electronic and automation exhibition. It is an effective way for suppliers to launch their new products and services to buyers, grow new businesses and gain new contacts.
Some sort like PC Fair la, except they’re selling larger guns machines and tools.
This is the second year Vanguard Electronic (the company I’m attached with) participated in the exhibition. Last year’s response was not very satisfying (according to one of my seniors la…), but this year seems to be better, despite the economy downturn.
One of our company’s products, almost cost a proton perdana
“Sales engineer” in action =P
The exhibition took 3 days and all of us was so exhausted, standing in the booth from 9am til 6pm everyday. Nonetheless, it was a great experience for us to get to know the market, industrial profiles and those “big boys with big toys” in the industry.
Farewell dinner
My lecturer once told us that as an engineer, we’d ended up dealing with only 2 types of thing: the dead (machines) and the alive (humans). Knowing our own strength and which of those is the best for us is crucial in determining our future.
Now I’ve been exposed to both, but I’m yet to decide which is best for me. The future still seems so blur…
