Chapter 270 What happened?
Department stores also sell furniture. Department stores sell everything.
Furniture, sofas, chairs, coffee tables are all for sale.
It turned out that they were all piled up in a small area at the innermost part of the second floor.
Cui Degui went downstairs and wanted to ask someone to move them over.
"No need." Cheng Hui stopped him and said, "I advise you to go to the junk market and buy some furniture. The style should be popular and universal, but it must be old.
"That's how these bedding products can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary."
Good furniture, when filled with good things and looking good, will invisibly raise its value, making people feel it is "unattainable" and ordinary people will feel they cannot afford it.
The shabby furniture in my own home doesn't match.
But laying these on the broken wood and rotten chairs will suddenly shorten the distance between them and ordinary people, and allow them to see the effect of laying these on their own homes.
The effect is just so beautiful!
The key is cheap!
Since these were the cheapest fabrics to begin with, Cheng Hui did not sell them at a high price, only adding 20%-30% profit to each item.
"Also, when the salesperson is selling, it is best to emphasize this contrast, which will lead to better sales results," said Cheng Hui.
"I understand, I understand!" Cui Degui immediately asked someone to get money to buy furniture from the scrap collection station.
"But the salesperson issue you mentioned is...not easy to handle." Cui Degui said honestly: "They are too lazy to introduce one."
It’s good enough that they don’t scold customers away, so why bother to introduce it to you? If you don’t want to buy it, forget it!
"How do you think we can improve employees' enthusiasm and initiative in their work?" Cui Degui asked.
This is simply an eternal problem.
Are there any salespeople who have a good sales attitude and are friendly to others? have.
But the rare ones can be made into movies and promoted nationwide!
"This is actually very easy to do." Cheng Hui said: "Let's link sales volume to bonuses. The more you sell, the more bonuses you get."
Cui Degui still had a bitter face: "I understand this, but there is no such system in the entire industry, and I don't think I can change it alone. If the higher-ups don't agree, there will be no money to pay bonuses."
"How do you know if you don't try? If it works, you will be a groundbreaking figure and will be in the newspapers," said Cheng Hui.
Cui Degui's eyes lit up and he felt a little moved.
But Cheng Hui was actually just giving him some chicken soup, just talking.
Because she knows history, when a department store goes bankrupt and becomes privatized, the sales clerks' attitude will become better.
She can't wait, she wants them to change tomorrow!
She shouldn't let the salesperson's attitude affect her return of the favor.
"We don't need your department store salespeople to sell the goods for now." Cheng Hui said, "I'll have the garment factory send a few temporary workers here. In a month, whoever sells the best will be promoted to a regular employee. Of course, there has to be a base number, and those who don't reach that number won't be promoted."
Cui Degui...seems to have learned something!
It’s a pity that most of the sales clerks below are not temporary workers. Well, he will do the same next time he recruits temporary workers!
Cheng Hui called Wang Song and talked about it.
Wang Song.....Can he say no? He thought it was great too!
......
Soon, the broken furniture was bought back.
Cheng Hui directed and, in front of many people, transformed the tattered furniture into something they could not afford.
There were immediate exclamations from the audience.
From the perspective of future generations, some old coarse cloth bedding may not be a big deal.
But now, all the furniture was placed together to form a room, and even the curtains were hung high.
All the furniture, including the bed, sofa, coffee table and curtains, were harmoniously arranged into a set. The effect was quite shocking, at least they had never seen it before.
There were big price tags on everything, and they all looked affordable to them, so some people placed their orders immediately!
"I want this bed sheet, how come it's only 2 dollars? It's so cheap!"
In fact, it is not cheap. It is a few cents more expensive than buying so much cloth and making it yourself at home.
However, it's just a few cents, which is nothing for many people who can go shopping in department stores.
"Pillow covers are only 20 cents each, I want a pair." said another person.
"I want this curtain, it's so beautiful!"
"I want this thing. What is this? It looks pretty good. What's stuffed inside? Why is it so fluffy? But it doesn't feel like cotton." Someone pointed at the pillow and said.
"This is a pillow, and it's filled with shredded sponge." Cheng Hui said, "You can try the effect of leaning against it."
"You can still try?"
"Of course." Cheng Hui said.
A group of people immediately lined up to try the pillow.
I want to buy one after trying it, and it’s only 50 cents each!
Wang Song led his people up nervously, and what he saw was a scene of people rushing to buy.
Of course, Cheng Hui didn’t get anything. All she got were samples and she didn’t have any real goods.
Seeing Wang Song, Cheng Hui was relieved and said, "You came just in time. I'll give you a sales demonstration and let your people learn from it."
The three temporary workers had the carrot of becoming "formal employees" dangling in front of them, so they dared not complain. They just watched carefully and studied hard.
Temporary workers have low wages and no benefits, which is a world of difference compared to regular workers. How can you not be motivated?
Cheng Hui demonstrated for an hour, and it seemed that the three of them had learned almost everything.
She went to the side and drank some water.
Wang Song came over quickly and asked nervously, "What's the matter with this price? I haven't reported it yet. Is it okay?"
"Do you think I'm selling it too cheaply?" Cheng Hui looked at him and asked.
Wang Song was immediately frightened by this look: "No, no, it's good enough that it can be sold! But, it hasn't been reported, can we do it ourselves?"
At this moment, he had forgotten the age gap between himself and Cheng Hui, and he no longer put on airs.
Well, I never did, no chance.
"If you quote now and they say it's not acceptable, just say that it's a trial price and they'll adjust it later. They'll refund more and give you more if you don't pay more. It's no big deal." Cheng Hui said.
It's not her money anyway.
She just set the price based on what she thought was appropriate, and it was none of her business if it wasn't.
Will President Wang still criticize her for this?
Come on, let’s see if he dares.
"By the way, uncle, I have a new house. You have to come to warm up the pot tomorrow night." Cheng Hui said to Cui Degui.
"Really? There's a new house? Where is it? How can I not go?" Cui Degui said.
Cheng Hui reported the address and said, "I would like to invite Leader Zhang, Director Yang, Director Pan... and Director Wang to come as well."
Wang Song.....Is this President Wang the President Wang he imagined?
This is truly a great noble man!
Cheng Hui stayed for a while and just as she was about to leave, she received a call from Guo Dajun, who had come to Cui Degui.
"Come back soon, people are coming from the Provincial Food Factory! Director Li is here in person, and I think they are going to cause trouble." Guo Dajun whispered.
Cheng Hui smiled: "You're here just now, really... just now, otherwise it would have closed down long ago."
Guo Dajun didn’t understand. How could a food factory go bankrupt? It’s impossible for it to go bankrupt in this lifetime! Unless humans no longer need to eat!
"Wait, I'll be back soon." Cheng Hui said.
Cui Degui asked, "What's the matter? Director Li of the Provincial Food Factory? What is he going to do? I have some friendship with him, I'll go with you."
"No need." Cheng Hui smiled and said, "If I quarrel with him, he will lose face if his acquaintances are around."
Cui Degui... "Then I won't go."
But I was so curious, what was going on?
