My first day at ING

Having so many dreams in my heart, I reached at CDC ( training centre of ING ). I introduced myself to the receptionist in a very arrogant way as I was about to join as a Manager but she didn’t give any Bhaav to me and told me to go to room No 238, which was in 2nd floor. I thought it would be a room of vice president or some executive . So I along with my roommate reached at room no238 . I was shocked to see the crowd over there as around 30 people were present there. After talking to them, I go to know that all of them had joined as relationship manager from various institutes and I was just a part of crowd. I conveyed my happy feeling to them and tried to pretend how happy I was after having so many new trainee.
Well.. After sometime a guy entered into the room and asked us to take the seats. He introduced himself as an HR person and handed over a peculiar type of note book. Our training program Schedule was mentioned in it and we were supposed to clear two tests in two weeks. One was AMPHI and other was IRDA .later my friend told me that to sell a financial product it was required to clear these exams and our training would be based on that. After knowing these facts I was cursing my luck as I had full plan to see Bangalore in those two weeks . Even though I knew I was not going to read anything but once you have a burden you find it difficult to enjoy even your good time. We were asked to deposit our certificates and documents. After documents verification , we were asked to leave . How good my first day was ,with full of fun and enjoyments. Who says selling is the worst profession one can have and I was unable to realize why people hate selling. Who would pay you rs1000/ day for 2 hours of duty. I was feeling lucky by being a part of sales profession.

Other days during training:-

As the time was passing, my days were getting bittier and bitter. How you can seat continuously for 8-10 hours without understanding anything. They were teaching us about the insurance products and I was surprised how come ppl who are only 10th or 12th are able to sell these products. I was finding those products one of the most difficult products to sell. Me who Was an MBA , B.tech were finding it difficult to understand those product . Hats off to all those insurance agents . I was confused if I would be able to sell the products after following all these rules .

Leave selling, how would I ever be able to clear IRDA exam because I was not getting even a single shit? Those 8-10 hours went like hell to me and I was surprised how come all other trainees were able to understand all the shit . It was not new to me as it was quite common when I was pursuing MBA or B.tech
