2，On the other hand，I talked with that member and played as an excellent listener，only to find that his oversea education schedule make him be negative and distracted his passion. In order to come to a mutual-win situation，I persuaded him to retreat from our team and he consented.

3，Lastly，I organized a interesting conference and issued the news about the retreat.

The technical skills: I surfed the internet to search the new solution to succeed in cold-call and lastly found a lot of useful methods. For example, I was taught to speak English to get through the receptionists who dared not to be indifferent in front of a foreign call. Needless to say, it was really workable when I put what I had learnt into practices.
