Dedicated officers show their talents in the sales industry
WHEN WONG KIN-PING first started working in Hongkong Post's mail sorting office more than 30 years ago a local stamp cost 10 cents and flared trousers were the height of fashion.
These days, he sells $100 million worth of innovative postal products and services a year to some of Hong Kong's largest companies, in competition with commercial courier companies.
Hongkong Post was a government organisation but had become increasingly commercial over the years, Mr Wong said.
'We face a lot of pressure because we are working like a private company.'
When Mr Wong moved to his current role as a postal services representative (sales) two years ago, he was apprehensive about the change from his previous back-room roles. But his fears proved unfounded.
