I was a manager of a mechanical/tyre store for 6 yrs and I managed to do it with only 3 staff (the 4th was on the road)
Got the store off its feet and into profit, through my 25 years of retail nowhow, little things count, and businesses need to find the time to do them. We had contracts with Telstra and NSW emergency services (Police Ambo's and Firey's) maintaining their vehicles as well as doing tyres for Mr Linfox on the road 24/7 and other high profile transport customers, and the general public, so customer service was a priority. We all slogged our guts out, but we made that store run like clockwork and was proud of everyone of my staff for the time I was there. Nothing was a problem for them, and many at time they went above and beyond what was expected of them, granted, working after hours was a pain, but they did it to service the customers, and the customers appreciated it. Seems alot of people think everything is way too hard these days. A bit of effort goes a long way in a small business. |
