"Most of the residents in this area have already been shopping at our store, and they'll be using those products for a while, so sales may not be as good as they'd like in the future."
The group's initial enthusiasm was quickly dampened by Lin Yu's cold water.
But they also knew that Lin Yu was right.
Some customers bought more than 20 yuan worth of items by themselves.
The purchasing power of one dollar is astonishing these days.
The amount the customer buys is enough to last a long time, and they won't buy any more in the near future.
Moreover, the promotional period has ended, and there are no more free gifts for spending a certain amount, so customers are unlikely to make such a large purchase all at once.
It is foreseeable that their sales will drop significantly starting from the fourth day.
Xiaofang asked worriedly, "What should we do?"
Lin Yu reassured them, "There are still many people who don't know about our store, but things will gradually stabilize in the future."
Besides, she had other plans in mind.
"The most important thing is to stabilize the turnover. You must maintain your service attitude."
Lin Yu was their backbone, and even Song Meili, who was initially a little uneasy, was now supported.
They were all strangely comforted by her.
On the fourth day, the shop freed up some staff and sent Xiaofang and Lin Zhuang to clean the rented room.
The remaining few people were responsible for opening the shop.
Perhaps Lin Yu had given them advance notice, because a number of customers arrived one after another that day.
None of them were surprised.
There was a pleasant surprise.
After all, they originally thought that there might not be many customers all day.
Surprisingly, there were still some, and quite a few at that.
The three of them were just enough to handle the workload.
Xiaoju still has time to cook in the backyard at noon.
From that day on, everyone ate at the store and no longer needed to buy food.
They finished work very early that day, and those who were used to working until 8 p.m. were a little unaccustomed to it.
"Today's turnover is three hundred, which is not bad."
Lin Yu encouraged them, "You know, our sales have already surpassed those of the department store. Everyone is doing a great job, thank you for your hard work."
The faces of the group were beaming with smiles.
After closing the shop door, Lin Yu led them to the rented room.
Xiaofang and Linzhuang have already cleaned up and bought bedding and daily necessities.
The two of them then worked together to cook dinner.
"Let's celebrate the successful opening of our store!"
Everyone raised their glasses in celebration, and they were all in high spirits.
Before the store opened, no one knew whether it would be successful.
The first three days of the promotional period are a testing process.
They had just come from the brigade and were all a little insecure.
But in these few days, they have to deal with hundreds of customers every day.
I gradually developed a thick skin.
The group of people now speak fluently and stand in the store with their heads held high and chests out, exuding confidence.
After all, their shop now earns several hundred yuan a day, and they are proud of it.
The thought that once the shop is open, all four of them can work in the city is a relief.
All four of them were laughing so hard their teeth were almost invisible.
Song Meili also said, "This store exceeded my expectations; we have achieved great success."
Lin Yu took this opportunity to tell them her plans.
"Sister Song is only acting now. She will be going back to the factory later. The four of you need to work hard. The store manager will be chosen from among you. Don't be jealous of others."
The four of them looked at each other in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Don't you believe me?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "What's so surprising about that? You are definitely the people who know this store best. I will choose the store manager from among you, but who I choose will depend on your own performance."
The four of them were so surprised they could hardly close their mouths. Xiaofang stammered, "Factory manager, do you mean we all have a chance to become store managers?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes. What? Don't you want to be one?"
Upon receiving a definite answer, the four immediately replied, "Yes! We want to."
Lin Yu was finally satisfied. She didn't want to be a sales clerk who didn't want to be the store manager.
She carefully selected these four people, wanting them to be young and energetic.
You also need to have a certain level of ambition.
This is the only way to help the factory grow and expand; their factory has never kept idle people.
The four young people's eyes sparkled.
I thought it would be great to be a sales clerk, but I never expected to have the chance to become a factory manager.
None of the four were willing to admit defeat, and they all began to silently regard each other as rivals.
Lin Yu further increased the stakes: "That separate room is the store manager's room; whoever becomes the store manager will live there."
This is terrible! They are all brothers and sisters at home.
No one can live alone in a room.
If I become the store manager, I can have that big room all to myself. How wonderful!
At that moment, all four of them had a burning fire in their eyes.
I must work hard to become the store manager!
Lin Yu was successfully energized and stayed in Song Meili's room to sleep that night.
"With what you said today, I won't have to worry about them not working hard in the future."
Song Meili was truly impressed; how could Lin Yu speak with such infectious enthusiasm?
After she said that, none of the four dared to slack off.
As long as you have a good expression, you can become the store manager.
With this carrot hanging in front of them, they'll definitely work hard.
Lin Yu said with a smile, "I call this painting a big picture for them. As for who can actually get their hands on it, that depends on their own abilities."
Song Meili nodded: "Then I'll observe carefully."
It's only been open for four days, so it's hard to tell much yet.
So far, all four sales clerks seem to be working very hard, and their personality flaws haven't yet become apparent.
This is why Lin Yu wanted Song Meili to come.
Song Meili is her most trusted partner; with her around, she doesn't have to worry about unfair scoring.
It can be said that Song Meili is Lin Yu's other pair of eyes in the store.
Song Meili was entrusted with an important task by Lin Yu and felt a strong sense of responsibility because she considered Lin Yu her best friend.
"Don't worry, I will absolutely be fair and impartial."
Lin Yu said to her, "Then I'll leave everything to you. Tomorrow we'll open a savings account and deposit all the money in it. Then I'll have to go back to the brigade to report."
As the factory manager, she couldn't possibly stay at the store all the time.
Now that the store is open, I need to go back and report on the situation.
The decision to open this shop was made after discussions within the production brigade and a meeting of the commune, and finally, the shop was moved to the provincial capital.
Many people are paying attention to the situation of the specialty stores.
Lin Yude took the sales data back to report the good news.
Song Meili understood: "Don't worry, go back home. I'll take care of things at the shop."
Lin Yu was confident in Song Meili's abilities: "Yes, call the factory if anything happens."
......
On the fifth day after opening, Lin Yu announced that she was going back to the brigade.
The four young people were very reluctant to part ways.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. It's not like I'm never coming back. You all have to learn to stand on your own. Also, I'm going back now. Don't you think about what to bring back for your families?"
