Mum's been postponing her trip back to m'sia coz of the arrival of new stocks and all the staffs' problems. Now with everything settled here, she has gone back to settle the new stocks for her family business back there. As there won't any new stocks until end of this mth, I get to do work on my accounts again (that is if I'm not in the shop). Have been a long time since I touched them.
Though a staff left during the most peak period of the yr, we didn't have to face the problem of looking ard for replacement staffs as a previous staffs have returned and also currently biz is still quite slow (ever since schools reopen). But it looks like I've to rearrange the staffs' schedule again. Very soon (mid/end of this mth) we'll definitely need 2 people in far east & bugis so that means those in the same outlet cannot have the same off day.
Our previous staff who's back to work is still familiaring with things in the shop. Just have to give him a couple more days. After all he's been away from our company for almost 1yr & we've quite slight changes ever since he left (not many). He told me that he wants to commit to work in our company for long term. Having worked in so many places b4 and experiencing the good, bad and the ugly of the other companies, he feels working for us is still the best. (I'm not bullshitting...those are his very words). However, we'll have to see about it as we know him too well. He has already been in & out of the company a couple of times already (all on his own accord). The reason we're giving him another chance (3rd chance) is b'coz 1stly he is honest & 2ndly he is one of those FEW good salesperson we've so far (the sales of the rest of our current staffs can be considered quite good but all of them including myself still have room for improvement). The problem with him is his attitude. That's why the past 2 times he couldn't stay long. In the past, when he was working with us, both of us used to quarrel alot in the shop (and i mean really quarrel). When he said he wants to come back, I had my reservations but still decided to give him another chance. His sales doesn't seem to be as good as b4 & he's not serving customers like b4. Maybe he's still not familiar? Shall give him 1 week from the day he started back (normally newcomers take only 2-3weeks to familarise. he shouldn't take that long since he's not a newcomer).
Last yr's CNY our highest record in a day was $1.8k sales just in far east. This yr at least MUST cross $2k sales in both far east & bugis. Our pvc interchangable cover backpacks were totally snapped OUT of stock end of last year. Had the stocks replenished & have already delivered them to our the bugis & far east outlets where they're moving the fastest. Shoes we've sold 100++ so far with 65% sold in far east and 25% sold in bugis, the remaining 10% were obviously sold in suntec. 1 particular model is selling the fastest and we're already totally OUT of sizes 41 and above. We're replenishing them but the stocks will only arrive earliest end of this mth. Having our own shoe factory is good as we get to make-to-order whether is it when a particular size for a particular model has ran out of stock or when the customer who's interested in a pair of shoes but wants it in another colour. We currently already have customers placing their orders together with their deposits.
LYL 1st ever overnight prayer meeting tonight at riverwalk but I'm feeling dead tired. The flesh doesn't want to go but the spirit says go. Gotta crucify the flesh. So conclusion is will go at least for the 1st session. For now got to work on my accounts. Cannot procrastinate liao.
