- Communication Skills
There was a lot of communication going on. The activity unit crew was supposed to keep in contact with the sellers. Every time a new seller is registered, we were supposed to keep them up to date in the WhatsApp group made specifically to manage the sellers. As participants, they had a lot of questions and we had to make sure everyone was well aware of the flow of the event. Thus, making us communicate a lot with the sellers in order to be able to grasp as much information about their business before blasting and promoting them. This helped us develop our communication skills.
- Thinking Skills
Before we settled on how to start promoting on the Telegram channel made for buyers and sellers, we were told to think of efficient and effective ways to make sure the event was well accepted by the audience. There were ideas on how to make it more attractive and that was when we start suggesting lucky draws, giveaways and even polls to be done throughout the event week to keep the buyers engaged. This had tremendously helped us develop our thinking skills.
- Leadership and Teamworking Skills
Before having to deal with the sellers, we were divided into groups of three. We had to help each other out while dealing with the sellers. This really helped us improve our leadership as well as our teamwork skills. It was not just about managing the event together, but there were times where we had to initiate things ourselves and start taking lead on small matters because the others are occupied with another task.
