1st Day of ITP

Today is the first day of my ITP. There are altogether 10 of us working for the Green Book. For the first few hours, Mr Mohd told us why the yellow pages are afraid of them. He try to convince us that Green Book is much better then yellow pages. He show some of the pictures that shows evidence that yellow pages are really afraid of them. He also try to convince us that when you want to advertise your company, the first thing that comes to your mind is the directories. The Green book is quite well know in the industry area. The 'buying guide' book is just 3 years old and still developing.
After the briefing, we went to hear our first assignment. Our first assignment is to confirm the company address and fax. They gave us some calling guide.
After our lunch, we went back to the company and went to dial phones. We have difficulty dialing the phone numbers. After some time, they called us to the conference room. She told us that she got two police phone call asking her who call them. She no longer ask us to dial the no. 9, because of this and ashe can't receive any calls. They gave us each an individual number to dial as their company has only 20 lines. After she assigned the numbers for us to dial, we try and it is faster.
They gave us 25 pages each with 3 contacts per page. On the front of the paper they gave, there is a task that writes you have to finish 140 calls per day. But the first day, they didn't expect us to call so much since we start so late. Calling up every company is quite anxious and nervous to me.
Today, before we left the company, we write down how much contact we have left.
