Last Saturday (October 25), I went to One Utama. I went in to a shop called TheFaceShop, which sells skin care products and cosmetics. I wanted to get a moisturizing cream, so I asked the promoter to recommend me on which one is better for my skin type. At first, I did not look the promoter in the face, the promoter came over and starts talking to me, it’s a “he”! At first, I was not paying attention but soon, I realize that he did a good job on explaining what type of moisturizer is suitable on which skin type. The way he explains and analyzes things was so detail; even a female promoter could not be able to do that. I was wrong in the first place, what came up to my mind was:" This man doesn’t know anything, get me another promoter please!” I did not encounter a male promoter promoting a skin care product to me before, so I assume that only female promoters are able to promote well. I should now, change my mindset. This is a perseverance effect.
