Details

When money is needed right now, working as a salesperson is the best solution. But is it worth working as a salesperson all your life or for a long time? How attractive is this profession and what are the prospects?

Let someone think that the work of a sales assistant is an option to get by at first, earn extra money during the holidays or, in a very extreme case, when they were not taken to other places. But it is not so.

Is it worth it to work as a sales assistant?

First of all, it is worth going to work as a sales assistant when you need money as soon as possible; work does not require special training or long, many years of comprehension of knowledge. But everyone who goes to such a vacancy “not from a good life” has a chance to grow into a professional in his field. After all, a professional salesperson is also a talent and a calling, work and experience that does not come immediately and immediately, but only after a long journey in the profession.

Whether it is worth working as a sales assistant is not a rhetorical question. After all, it is known that this is not the easiest job, although they take it there without education and experience. Everyone went to the shops and saw how difficult it is to work there and can put themselves in the place of a seller and imagine what it is like. Nevertheless, is it worth the effort and work spent to choose this profession as your business for a long time?

The profession has both pluses and minuses. However, like any other, here the sellers do not stand out in any special way.

If this is your first job - any experience will be useful and it is well worth going to work as a salesman. Working as a seller allows you to learn how to communicate with customers, communicate correctly, you can learn about the basics of marketing and sales techniques. It will be a very rewarding experience, no matter where you continue your career, in almost any field, the ability to speak unobtrusively, politely, tactfully and openly with potential buyers will come in handy. If you have certain abilities in this area, the talent of persuasion, then it will be very, very useful for you and you have a considerable chance to advance in this field.

Sales career opportunities

If you manage to find "your" employer and a good place work, then with such abilities - this is a real chance not to look for something new, but to make a career in trade and sales. Here you can have no doubt - whether it is worth working as a seller, but feel free to go to work and everything will turn out well for you. The vacancy of a sales assistant gives a good starting chance to move over time to sales managers. This is the most in-demand job in this moment. A huge number of companies are looking for a talented and experienced sales manager, the choice of offers is great, and thus there is a great opportunity to find what you like, choose a comfortable place to work and become a "salesperson". This is a very promising and highly paid profession.

The disadvantages of the lower rung of this career - the position of a sales assistant, include a small wages. It usually consists of a fixed part (salary) and a variable part (percentage of personal selling or total revenue). But this does not mean that the answer to the question of whether it is worth going to work as a sales assistant or a sales manager in an office is negative. After all, the percentage depends on your success as a specialist who can convince and sell. The more you sell, the better you convince, the higher your earnings.

Also, to the pluses of the profession - as a rule, sellers are drawn up according to the Labor Code, deductions are made for a future pension, a good social package is issued, and in most companies, preliminary training of sellers is carried out before they start working. And not only at the beginning of the work, but also in the future, many organizations provide training for salespeople, designed to help them increase sales.

At such trainings, sellers are taught to work out different situations, competently attract the attention of the buyer, unobtrusively advise and understand the psychotypes of buyers. It also discusses the principles of marketing.

It is also worth mentioning that if you have varicose veins, then you need to think carefully about whether it is worth working as a sales consultant. This work is mainly on the legs, and if you have varicose veins, it will be difficult to be in motion all day, it happens that during the day you cannot sit down even for a minute. And many stores even write in their rules a ban on sellers sitting. So, this is quite a physically demanding job. In addition, the ability to focus and be able to multitask is important when working as a salesperson. If there are a lot of visitors, then you need to be able to do several operations at the same time and not make a mistake or screw up anywhere.

Is it worth it to work as a sales assistant with such a combination of advantages and disadvantages? It's up to you. Of course, in most large stores and retail chains a very high turnover of staff, many can not cope and do not maintain the pace of work. But at the same time, this is a chance for a patient and purposeful young man or girls start a career, stand out and move up a notch. There are cases when the seller reached the career director of the store or even the director of sales. Everything is in your hands, it is important to decide whether your choice is temporary or you want to do just that.

A sales clerk who works at a large department store anonymously told The Village about whether a courier can become a director, how to deal with nails in shoes, and why there is no one better than Soviet commodity experts.

RECRUITMENT

When applying for a job in any store, you come across conditions with which you either agree or not. In the questionnaire, write down what is important to you: career, team, money. But, after working for a while, everyone understands: these leaves go nowhere. The sellers recruit all in a row. Managers treat them as temporary people who will leave sooner or later. I worked with a good manager. True, even she, if a person left and returned a year later, did not remember him. The flow is very big.

They say that five years ago the selection was much tougher. I talked to you and CEO, and even a specially selected commission. You had to have almost a specialized education, experience and a suitable type. Few were hired without experience.

TEAM

Today, the only professionals in the store are the granny merchandisers and warehouse managers. They have been working for 50 years. If put to sell, they will do better than the students who form the backbone of the department store. Grandmothers worked here back in Soviet times, graduated from institutes and vocational schools with a specialty like “goods receiver” or “warehouse manager”. The merchandiser who is on the return, by eye determines the marriage, the type of skin, and so on. Now, if a person with at least some work experience comes to be hired, consider that he has already been accepted. They showed him how to fold the boxes and turn on the computer - here is the new warehouse manager. In five years, all grandmothers will be replaced and complete chaos will come.

Young sellers do not want to develop, and there are no opportunities. In order for the salesman in the department store where I work to grow into a manager, thousands of factors must coincide. Unless couriers can grow to sellers. Management is unfavorable. Where, for example, to put a man who worked as a manager for seven years? Acquaintances are taken to the highest positions. So a career is all fairy tales.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The seller must look after his section, make sure that all goods are posted in the hall, navigate by prices and sizes. No one teaches you how to sell. You don't even need to know anything about the brand. There are brand books: if you want - read, if you don't want - don't read. In what year the designer was born, no one will ever ask. And it won't check.

There are sellers who directly sell: “Do you take it or not?”, They run from one buyer to another, especially at sales. And there are people who work with one client. These earn less, but they have a higher quality of service. Communicating with regular customers and advising them is the worst you can imagine. This is responsibility: what if something doesn’t suit him, he doesn’t like it, will there be a marriage?

We had cases when girls, while trying on shoes, scratched on a badly nailed nail inside the heel. In theory, it is not the responsibility of the seller to check the insoles: nails in shoes are the problem of manufacturers. But for whom is it easier? Nails are found in both cheap and expensive shoes. The worst thing is if in boots or ankle boots: you can’t see it at all there. We were lucky that all the girls who scratched badly did not go into conflict, everything was limited to apologies, iodine and a band-aid. The store seems to be to blame, but you won’t make any special claims against us either: we don’t make shoes. By the way, in Soviet times, the insoles were checked, and the warehouse manager did this. And now, if you see that the seller is feeling the shoes inside, be sure that he is a good person.

THEFT

Both buyers and sellers steal. There are two types of theft among customers: purposeful and accidental. Random - this is when a person came to buy something, but a freebie turns up for him. The guys came, looked at the thing, and it was without protection - well, they took it away with them unnoticed. Moreover, they bought something else, left with a package, and simply put the trinket in their pocket. Probably to brag to friends: “Guys, sp..dil!”

There are many professional thieves, for them it is adrenaline, excitement. When they were caught, they said that the sellers were suckers. By and large, stealing is not a problem. Security guards work only at the exit and escalators. Cameras? I don't believe that someone is sitting there watching all 15 screens. Sellers pay for all stolen items, although sometimes the loss is included in the budget. They also steal their own, you can’t figure them out in any way. We always have a shortage in the season - the whole team is thrown off. Someone more, someone less - depends on the salary.

Surprisingly, we have a lot of gypsies disguised as fashionable women around 35 years old. One asks you a stupid question, the second monitors the situation, and the third pulls out things and leaves. I remember a case: the cashier was put into hypnosis - she gave 20,000 rubles to a gypsy just like that.

RETURN

We often buy for the sake of buying. I would gladly forbid all returns. Returning a marriage is normal, but sometimes it comes to stupidity: “My boy was like in your sneakers at home for two hours, and his feet are sweaty, they don’t suit us.” It happens that a man and a lady come, and he buys a lot of things for a decent amount as a gift. And then she returns the part and leaves with the cash. Competent men buy with a card, cash cannot be returned from it.

CONFLICTS

The manager is always on the side of the client. The seller is not supported. You will die, and they will tell you - go to work. Therefore, even if you are sent, you must smile and nod. But endurance is developed over the years. If the client is problematic, you can try to get rid of him: say that he is busy and ask him to contact another seller. There are clients who make you work with them for 7 hours in a row: they try on each item, choose the cheapest one, then ask for another discount and eventually leave empty-handed.

DISMISSAL

The management usually fires if someone is in a bad mood there. Therefore, when the director walks, you should not stand in a relaxed pose, but be collected, smile sweetly and wink like “I know you.” Usually, for little things or for poor service, they don’t get fired, only if something big happens. More often people leave themselves or because of friction in the team. The larger the team, the less problems.

SCHEDULE

The most profitable months are October and April: the weather changes, people go shopping en masse after work. The funny thing is that our shops are open 12 hours a day. Monuments to sellers should be erected: no one else in the world works like this. The day has passed, and you realize that you didn’t have lunch and didn’t go to the toilet. This is not the money for which you have to kill your health. I see no point in working from 10:00 to 22:00. In the morning the flow is small, and in the evening the people are so clear that they are served until midnight or around the clock.

PRICES AND TIPS

We get tips more often than most people think. It all depends on the mood of the buyer. Grandmothers sometimes give boxes of chocolates or chocolates. Once a grandmother came for Marcel shoes, admired, but when she found out the price - 28,000 rubles - she groaned, but still asked to postpone. And then quietly under his breath: "Again, there is water with bread." Foreigners are crazy about our prices, but they often buy because running models their sizes in the homeland no longer remain.

The main task of a novice entrepreneur who does not yet know what to trade in the market is to conduct research, study demand, supply and make a choice.

The state helps the unemployed, who are registered with the labor exchange, and provides them with free funds for business development. In addition, now it is not a problem to go to the bank and get money there. After the future entrepreneur has decided on the sources of funds, it is necessary to agree on renting a place on the market and choose the right product for himself. Not everyone makes the right choice, out of 10 beginners only 1-2 successfully trade.

The choice is actually very large, but often we see the same thing on the malls. Most often, novice entrepreneurs, noticing what the working people sell long years sellers want to be like them and copy the range of products sold. This is a big mistake. The fact is that from the fact that, for example, the number of meat merchants increases, the number of buyers of this product will not change. Before you appeared on the market, there was a certain balance between the number of outlets selling a particular product and the number of buyers of this product. you will only join an existing stream and, without having regular customers, will receive only a small share of the proceeds. The income can be so small that there is not even enough money to pay the rent of the premises. In addition, most likely, the merchants of this product will treat you unkindly.

Three reasons why customers go to the retail market:

1. Here you can find any product.
2. Here you can bargain (ask for a discount).
3. There is a trusted seller for every product here.

The choice of goods for trade in the market depending on demand

It is necessary to catch on to the first point and understand what kind of product is missing on the market. Look around, pay attention to which places a large number of people accumulate and why, see how many points with similar products. Determine what is the reason for the great interest: in the uniqueness of the product, its quality, or the professionalism of the sales assistant?

If you notice that a certain product is not on the market, carefully ask if anyone has tried to trade it.

In no case should you trade in a product that only you like. This will only positively affect the admiration with which you will advertise the product. Each person has their own unique taste, but in order to become a successful trader and make a large number of sales, you need to focus on what will appeal to the main number of market visitors. In general, you may not like the desires and preferences of buyers, and here you have to make a choice, what do you want more: satisfaction of personal opinion or a good income?

The choice of goods for trade in the market depending on the location of the outlet

When choosing a product, you need to take into account the location of your trading place and adequately evaluate its features. There is a group of products on the market that are not assigned to certain place(for example, homemade dinners, which are carried to market traders). Usually the whole area retail space divided into sectors: in one sector they sell shoes, in another - fish, in the third - stationery, etc. Coming to the market, for example, for shoes, the buyer purposefully goes to a certain sector, where the entire assortment is presented in front of him, and is determined with choice. Therefore, it is not economically feasible to trade slippers in the outerwear sector, and vice versa. But there may still be exceptions. For example, on the rows with children's clothes and shoes, you can open a point selling fresh pancakes or muffins, which children love so much.

The market is also divided into places that are considered passable and impassable (located at the end of the shopping arcade, along the periphery of the market, in side and dead-end aisles). Good traffic areas are always busy, so starting a business in the market will most likely have to deal with places with not very high traffic.

You should know that the goods daily demand(for example, cigarettes, bread, etc.) you cannot trade in impassable areas. Here, special-purpose and narrow-range goods (for example, hunting knives, pet cages, etc.) are promoted more successfully.

The choice of goods for trade in the market, depending on the size of the outlet

It also takes into account the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe outlet, it is simply inappropriate to trade fur coats or spare parts for cars on three square meters: you will not be able to provide the buyer with the necessary assortment, and not everyone likes to choose from a catalog. Most prefer to feel, hold the product in hand before buying. But on such an area you can provide a good choice tea, cigarettes or other small goods.

The choice of goods for trading on the market, depending on the size of the starting capital

It is up to you, of course, to sell imported tights or Italian shoes, but whatever you choose, you should have a good assortment in this category. It should be borne in mind that not all funds can be invested in the purchase of goods. Perhaps you will receive an order for something else that is not currently in stock, and you must have the money to purchase it.

Trade, for example, in fast food, involves, in addition to the purchase of basic products, the purchase special equipment and inventory. At the same time, the cost of purchasing equipment is much higher than other costs.

From this it should be concluded that you need to choose a product that you can present in the maximum assortment. From a buyer who visited your trading place, there should be no desire to look for something somewhere else.

The choice of goods for trading on the market depending on seasonal factors

When selling, for example, winter fur clothes, you should understand that in the warm season, the demand for this product will decrease significantly and you may even suffer losses. Therefore, it is necessary to foresee this and change the assortment depending on the season. It would be best if you do not radically change the product according to the destination. If, for example, in the cold season at your outlet you sell winter hats, then in the summer you can sell hats, caps, etc.

Selection of goods for trading on the market based on existing suppliers

Having decided on the category, it is necessary to study the offers of wholesale suppliers. It should be borne in mind that there are currently a lot of resellers, so it is most advantageous to establish direct contacts with manufacturers. For example, when choosing suppliers of sausages and sausages for hot dogs, it is necessary to review all possible suppliers. In addition, many of them are ready to make significant discounts for a certain purchase and provide refrigeration equipment for rent at a small conditional price.

When negotiating the terms of a wholesale purchase, it is necessary to foresee the issues of expected returns, exchanges, quality assurance. This is especially important when selling power tools (they are finally checked only after some time of operation), as well as goods that cannot be immediately checked for quality.

Large bulk purchases in spontaneous markets in which you are poorly oriented should be avoided. Avoid products that do not have the necessary quality certificates - their sale can result in large losses in the form of fines, up to termination entrepreneurial activity and confiscations.

Do not make a choice of goods based on the advice and general ideas of neighbors in shopping aisle. Thinking outside the box, you will be able to purchase exactly the product that will have the greatest demand.

By choosing what to trade on the market, you define your business. Therefore, think in advance how you can develop and improve it (opening new outlets, expanding the range, related trading through online stores, etc.).

At first glance, it may seem that the opportunities for developing a business from scratch in small town much less than in the metropolis, but it is not.

Not every one of us lives in a city with a million people. Many aspiring entrepreneurs are scratching their heads over being in a small town. The question is really not an easy one, especially considering that opening your own, albeit a small business, is a rather serious and risky step. Let's talk about what product or service is better to sell in a small town or There are a lot of interesting nuances and pitfalls.

Benefits of doing business in a small town

It is safe to say that there are not only minuses, but also big pluses that will play into the hands of any entrepreneur. One of them is the lack of much competition. Of course, this does not mean that it does not exist at all, but it will be somewhat easier to start a business and develop it. Especially if you offer something that no longer exists. First you need to analyze the market and understand what is offered more and what is less. It will not be difficult to do this, since the city is small, and the number of entrepreneurs can be counted on the fingers.

You can open your own small grocery store or cafe. In addition, there are many other equally profitable solutions that will be very popular among city residents. An important role is played by high-quality service, which many in the outback have not heard of. Imagine that you own a company that manufactures and installs locks. So, if you do your work quickly, efficiently and efficiently, then soon the rumors about you will disperse and there will be no end to customers. That is why it is impossible to unambiguously answer the question of what to trade in a small town. But let's look at a few of the most effective solutions, each of which is likely to be popular.

What not to do?

At the first stages, it is very important not to make a mistake that will nullify all efforts. Oddly enough, aspiring entrepreneurs quite often make the wrong decisions. To prevent this from happening to you, you need to remember what not to do when starting a business in a small town. By the way, this applies only to those places where the population is small. So, in a large metropolis, the same product or service can bring you huge profits.

First, do not start with a highly specialized business. An example is the sale of one type of equipment. The fact is that modern trade in a narrow specialization, especially in a small town, will not bring the desired result. This is due to low demand, so if several clients come to you during a work shift, then this will already be good. Second, do not start a business that requires a large number of highly skilled employees. Why? Everything is simple here: there are very few of them in the province. Most of the brainy specialists go to big cities, where the prospect of development is higher than in the wilderness. Do not forget that it makes no sense to offer customers super-expensive goods. For example, computers for 100,000 rubles and more may be sold, but during this time you will have time to sell much more PCs for 30,000 rubles and get a significant profit from that. This factor is due to the small salary in the outback.

Opening a toy store

This is quite a promising direction. As a rule, in small towns there is one, maximum two such establishments, so you can not be afraid of high competition. Currently, children's supermarkets are extremely popular, where there is almost everything for children. different ages. But in our case, a small store is enough. First of all, register yourself as a private entrepreneur. It is best if it is "LLC". The main point is right choice supplier. The fact is that children's toys should be not only of high quality and interesting, but also safe. This is due to the fact that children love to taste them.

If the toy store is small, then at first you yourself can be a seller, an accountant, and even a cleaner. All this will allow you to save money on wages and pay off much faster. Take care of the range. You should have toys of different sizes, colors. Sometimes it makes sense to divide them into categories, for example: for boys, for girls, for children under 3 years old, from 3 to 5 years old, etc. If with all this you competently create an internal atmosphere and interior, then you will have a lot of customers. In just six months, you will more than recoup the costs and will be able to gradually expand and eventually build a small children's supermarket. But do not forget that modern trading requires a lot of effort. It makes sense to give good advertising, for example, write a small announcement about the opening of a store in the local newspaper and stick up on poles and bus stops.

Why not sell products?

Of course, here you will face competition anyway. However, not everything is as bad as it might seem at first glance. The fact is that it is not at all necessary to try something new, you can quite successfully implement what you already have. In any case, the number of grocery stores in your city is large, but this does not mean at all that your particular point will not be popular. Nevertheless, the template version will not suit us either, so everything needs to be carefully thought out. First, choose the location where your grocery store will be located. As practice shows, if we are talking about a small town, you need to choose a place where there are many houses and there is no similar point nearby. The fact is that quite often people living in remote microdistricts need to walk 10-15 minutes to the nearest grocery store.

Secondly, you need to carefully draw up an assortment map. It's easy to guess that this is a list of products you sell. It is important to consider the area here. So, if the grocery store is in close proximity to kindergarten or schools, then there should be juices, candy and many other things that children love. But if you are trading near multi-storey buildings, then do not forget to buy a decent amount of bread, it will be nice to leave alcohol, for example, beer. By the way, it will be interesting to talk a little about the latter.

Trade in beer: pros and cons

According to statistics, the sale of alcoholic beverages almost always brings a good income. Another question is whether all this will be bought in small town? Of course it will be. It's more a matter of what and at what price you will sell. If your assortment includes draft beer of several varieties at an average market price, then you will always have a queue. In addition, it is desirable to sell beer in bottles, both glass and plastic. Availability of various soft drinks will only play into your hands. Do not forget about such demanded goods as vodka, wine, champagne, etc.

It is worth paying your attention to the fact that it will be somewhat more difficult to open. This is due to the fact that it is necessary to obtain licenses. In practice, shops where there is not only beer, but also goods for it are very popular. It can be pigtail cheese, ram, smoked fish, nuts, crackers, chips and much more. So customers do not have to go to another store. As for the location, it should be removed from kindergartens, schools and other educational institutions, as well as hospitals, etc. In any case, the trade in beer brings a good income. Over time, you can expand the range.

Should you sell home appliances?

If we consider the main business ideas in the village, then we cannot but mention the store where customers can find large and small household appliances. Of course, everything here is somewhat more complicated than with a grocery outlet. You are mistaken if you think that in small towns they do not buy microwaves, multicookers and other kitchen utensils. All this is acquired, and very well. All that is required of you is to show yourself at first. If the first 10-20 customers leave dissatisfied, then you will completely lose it and it is unlikely that you will be able to restore it in the near future. What to do in this case? Now everything will be said.

Most Right way to success is to conclude an agreement with a large company for the production and sale of household appliances. You, as a partner, will receive a percentage of the profits, and all deliveries will be carried out completely free of charge. All that is required of you is to convince the company that sales will go up. To do this, a home appliance store must arouse interest among customers. To call it, you can give a good and competent advertising, set discounts for regular customers, hold regular contests and much more.

Become pioneers

There is a high probability that there is still no representative office in your city big company. If there is, then only a few, and this still does not say anything. For example, it could be a Samsung, LG, etc. home appliances store. It can be clothes - Adidas, Reebok, etc. If to speak in simple words, start a franchise business, but choose a partner wisely, as not everything will be in demand. For example, selling professional cameras is unlikely to be successful. If they buy several devices in a week or a month, then this will already be good. But the trade in clothes or shoes can bring very good money.

The essence of such a business is that an agreement is drawn up with certain conditions that you, as well as the other party, must comply with. An example is sales volume. If you overfulfill the norm, then you are entitled to a bonus, if you do not oversell, then penalties are withheld. Please note that at the initial stage you will receive good financial support from the partner company.
