USA - Notes from Andy Schofield
Another strong week everyone… and what a joy it is to see!
A healthy start to the year like this, will keep us ahead of the game for the entire year.
We are ahead (as of this week) of last year and that should give us the “push” that we need to succeed and beat target.
Some excellent results from big and small branches alike.
That’s the good news… The bad news is that for the month of February we are actually down against budget by quite a sizable amount… $13,000 We have a hard, but not impossible task ahead of us this week. We have to do $65,000 on RM’s…
OK, now that you’ve picked yourselves up off the floor, let’s break that down and see what we can / have done about it to help you out this week – to make your task a little bit easier:
- The “Winter Sales Flyer” has been sent out to all of your customers that signed up to the web site, advertizing Up to 75% off Off the Rack merchandise.
- All top coats and sports jackets have been further marked down to entice your customers into buying – Remember, the more sales you can make to one customer the less customers you need!
- And… with that last statement, I have a little competition for you… READ BELOW and check your email for the chance to earn so BIG BUCKS with the latest competition – It’s a good one, don’t miss it!!!
SALES COMPETITION – THIS WEEK ONLY!!!!
OK, this is a great competition and one, which could make you some good “Scratch!”
Here are the details and instructions, which need to be followed to the “T” to win this competition:
5% OF BEST MULTIPLE DOLLAR SALE, MADE THIS WEEK!
Competition Rules & Instructions
- This competition is for the Best Multiple Sale to one customer, this week only!
- “Multiple sale” means the total dollar sales amount to one customer at one time.
- This will be checked using your stores IMR or Essentus system and verified.
- It will also be crosschecked using Oasis.
So that these sales stand out and are easier for us to see, you must enter “9999” into the “Transaction Number” box on the sales entry screen. You must also enter the customer details (at least the customers name) when prompted to do so after entering each item. This (as you know) creates a sales “Folder” for that customer on the date you sell him / her the items.
If you do not follow these instructions then your sale won’t count!
So, what does this really mean, in terms of $$$$
Let’s say you have a customer come in and he buys $3,000 worth of suits, topcoats, sports jacket, shirts, ties & cufflinks.
You’ll enter the information as detailed above and if this is the best multiple sale out of the European branches for the week, you’ll get a gift card for the place of your choice, to the tune of $150! - (Remember, that’s on top of your usual commission too!)
This is a great opportunity to earn some extra cash this week for you and your branch.
You’ve got the tools – Email flyer has been sent out to your customers… You’ve still got the “Spend $350 get an extra $50 off” vouchers… Winter Markdown, including coats done… and now you have a great sales incentive too!
SHOW US WHAT YOU’VE GOT!!
Good luck & Good Trading this week. - Andy
