Question 2

As a Store Manager, you’ll also work with customers directly – taking pride in helping them select the right products and place their order. You’ve helped a customer choose some carpet and underlay and prepared a quote. Although the customer is happy with their choice, they say the price for the underlay is over budget. How would you respond?

As Store Manager, it’s your responsibility to keep on top of meeting the store’s targets, so that we remain the best in the business. Your Area Manager has emailed you the latest sales figures for your store, based on the previous week's sales. The store's bonuses are based on performance for the month, and you’re on-track to meet those targets. What would you do? Please choose one option.

Question 5

A vital part of your role is to motivate your staff, as much as support them. You review the monthly figures and notice that one of your Advisors has not sold as much underlay as expected this month. They’ve met their sales targets so far and are generally performing well. Their monthly 1:1 review is today. How would you approach this?
