                                                 A great example of this is in York
                                                 Matt has created a ‘helpful’ board to

Ready to trade

Ready to Trade


Best Practice:



• To be completed weekly by the Sales Manager

• Documented in a box file in office for area manager visits

• Give it the justice it deserves

• Use it as a tool to identify problems – training, poor performance

• Use it as a BLOG for you thoughts for the week – we do!

• Print from Intranet – just google ‘ready to trade’ to print.

• This give anyone a snapshot of your business at any week.
Stock Control Processes
Stock control


Minimum Requirements
• Gap check to be conducted weekly – FULL STORE

• Gap check at your worst – Do this the day BEFORE DELIVERY DAY

• Ensure all reports are filled in box file and signed

• Gap check by zone – Parts | Auto | Travel – makes PREP easier to do!

• Ensure SFS fully immersed in implications of bad ‘ad-hoc’ writing off of stock

• Warehouses to DTS standards at ALL times – Use scheduler to help!

• A good warehouse = good OSA – Simple!

• Ensure FAGO completed weekly – not just when it piles up!

• Ensure regular supplementary orders done on fast selling lines – especially going into peak trading

• Pro-active count calendar in use and operational

• Price check being actioned – zone off the store in 52 weeks (by bays)

• ICT counts done weekly – Use HHT’s 2 weeks then paper print every 3rd week and file reports – (Only takes 20 min’s)

• All shortages logged in a box file and faxed to Andrew Illingworth
Stock control




Create a separate box file for              Create a box file for your audio and
your shortages evidence – we                cycle manifest separate to your
called it 13a                               warehouse delivery prints
Stock control



Logging stock shortages best practice:


 • Try to contact the DC in all cases to report missing stock / cages / speed flows.

 • Get a name of the person you are speaking to. (Normally Pavel)

 • Write the shortages down on the area ‘shortages’ sheet which can be found under ‘Area Memos’ on intranet.

 • Book in delivery and stock adjust the missing stock if told to do so the same day.

 • Go into ‘Article Movements’ report and enter code of missing stock and PRINT.

 • That way it will show you booking it in – then writing it off on same page.

 • Staple the faxed form and log in box file 13a as evidence – Its your bonus you may need to contest one day!

 • For large losses contact your LPM or John to high-light the issues.

                          My objective:
                          • To develop a method of tracking my teams effectiveness in
                          store targeting operational objectives.

                          • Ensure my team were getting the support they needed that is
                          personal to them.

                          • Finding a clear way of identifying progress made or not made
                          by individuals.

                          • Creating a scoring system called KPI effectiveness to help
                          identify were our store skills shortages were.



                          So the results are in...

                          • 3B’s now tracking above area average (Skills shortage)
                          • Sat Nav attachment now 2nd best in area
                          • Poor warranty procedure understanding now resolved
                          • Poor child seat fitting coverage – now increased
                          • Product knowledge was weak – launched sub shop workshops



Just keep it simple!

What’s the best way to review?
Your people


Reviewing tips:

• Always give candidate notice of review – never ad-hoc.

• Keep it on time – most employees crave your time and attention so don’t rush it.

• Keep an open mind – Don’t be lulled by other member of staffs opinions!

• Sometimes the reason for poor performance extends beyond our walls

• No one is ‘crap’ – They are either un-motivated on un-clear of their role!

• Its hard but think – Have I let this person down by assuming too much?

• End on a high – Let them leave feeling positive

• Be objective not subjective – Your opinion is important but may not always be the gospel!

• If your brave – seek feedback about how you are doing in your role – what’s their perspective?
