Just a Joke

Selling multi-million worth of high-end properties requires extraordinary skills to clinch that much-valued yes from a client. It is a long, sometimes painstaking process on the part of the sales consultant before he/she can make a client finally sign on that horizontal line.

Notably, the millions worth of each property sold also equates to substantial commissions on the part of the sales consultant, which explains why big real estate companies invest so much on their sales people thru extensive sales seminars, corporate ethics, personality development, among others. They don’t just hire anyone for the job. They make sure that each candidate is worth investing on and can truly represent the company's corporate image.

This half-Filipino Athlete FA who belongs to a Philippine team is making progress in international athletic standing. His team, composed of several members, gets to participate frequently in games abroad. As such, everyone's income in the team gets to progress, too.

FA's paycheck must have been substantial that he had thought of investing in properties, particularly in a high-end condominium.

In FA's search for a property, he met a pretty Sales Consultant SC who gladly accommodated him and gave him a rundown of several company projects/properties to choose from. FA got interested and he and SC exchanged contact numbers. Soon, txt messages and emails about the property were exchanged. SC was feeling convinced that a successful deal was forthcoming as FA really showed interest and even giving her regular updates.

FA seemed like serious a buyer as he also told SC that he would bring along his father saying that he was one of the purchase's decision makers. It was made to appear that the deal would be finalized soon.

On the day that FA was supposed to meet with FA for the final negotiation, he asked SC if she could just bring the papers to his place as he was quite sick and his coach instructed him to get some rest. Early on, SC also told FA that he lives alone.

SC became apprehensive, yet could not allow her feelings to rule over her. To be safe and sure, she replied to FA that yes, she was going to bring him the papers and that she would be accompanied by her immediate superior.

On hearing this, FA replied that SC could just come alone as his pad was too small to accommodate an extra person. SC said it was okay as the process would not take them long, but FA insisted that she could not bring another person along.

It was at that point that SC smelled something fishy...that something was afoot. Disappointed, yet thankful, she put her foot down and called FA a hoax. Further research led SC to find out that FA is one of team's 'bad' boys.
