A Day in the Life - Manager Trainee 6:45 AM You arrive at the store along with the Store Manager and yard personnel to open the store. You turn on the store lights, unlock the doors, and get the cash registers ready for the store opening. 7:00 AM After prepping the store, you open the gates. The Store Manager is invoicing the first of many customer loads to be shipped. You greet the first customer through the gate and take them to the lumberyard to be loaded. At 84 Lumber, we always load first. While loading the customer, you wave "good morning" to the truck driver, who is pulling out with the first load of the day. 8:00 AM The first incoming delivery of the day pulls in. You grab a copy of the purchase order and jump on the forklift. You unload the truck while comparing it to the bill of lading and purchase order. You sign for the delivery and bring the paperwork into the office. 9:00 AM Things begin to slow down a little, so you grab your load list for the garage package you sold yesterday. You need to build the load today so that it can be delivered tomorrow. You grab one of the yard workers and head to the lumberyard. You build the load until it is complete, taking time out to help out with customers when it gets busy at the counter. 10:00 AM Other associates arrive and help with customers. You walk over to your "Area of Responsibility" and make sure that all of the products in your area are faced, dusted, and well stocked. Having a clean, organized, well-managed "Area of Responsibility" will help prove to the Manager and Area Manager that you have what it takes to manage your own store one day. You grab a requisition form for nails and another for metal hangers. After doing a quick tally, you work up a new order. You review the orders with the Store Manager, and after he/she approves them, you enter them into the computer. 11:00 AM The delivery truck is back in the yard. The Store Manager asks you to put the next load on the truck. You load the truck with the forklift, checking the load list to make sure everything the customer ordered is on the truck. Once the truck is loaded, you give the Store Manager the load list, and he rings out the order. 12:00 PM While taking your lunch break, you decide to review a section of your Home Study Program. The eight-part program has helped increase your knowledge and made you a better salesperson. You will be taking your final exam soon and will get your first pay raise upon successful completion of the exam. The pay raise is nice, but you want to complete the program so you can be promoted to Co-Manager. You are well on your way to running your very own store! Continued >> |
