Dear Manager,

We are handing over into your hands Procedures and Standards which are the result of the
work and experience of employees of CCC S.A., involved in the company’s development. The
store employees have a special contribution to its coming into existence, including Managers
and Regional Sales Managers. The Manager Book contains standards being in force,
procedures, tools which are supposed to help with the work organization of the CCC stores.

The advantage of CCC standards over other standards is the fact that they were closely
adapted to characteristic conditions in which stores are operating, moreover they are the
result of a few-months project, in which the consultation with stores Managers was played
the important role. The starting point when choosing the essential content of this book were
our customers’ expectations and it is them that we want to improve.

Preparing Work Standards we aimed at providing You with the professional preparation for
your everyday duties. We do care so that you could learn the CCC brand better, its
important principles and the way of functioning. We believe that standards are a tool
forming the uniform and common image of all CCC stores, without taking the size or the
location of the store into account.

The Book will let you quickly get to know the issues associated with work organization,
organizational procedures, and acting instructions as well as develop interpersonal
competence useful in daily work.

STORE MANAGEMENT

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 6


WORK PRIORITIES

Sales plan realization is a priority of managing the store including complying CCC standards
and procedures.

Following elements have a fundamental influence on the realization of the priority:

 A Manager is responsible for every operation connected with a correct functioning of the store.
 The Manager Deputy and the Senior Seller – a cashier must have the knowledge and practical
abilities enabling them to manage the store correctly.
 The store management is responsible for planning and organizing work every day for the
subject staff as well as consistent controlling and accounting the staff for allotted tasks
and duties.
 During stores working hours one executive person must be present (A Manager, Manager’s
Deputy or a Senior Seller-cashier). Decision-making persons are obliged to be in the sales
room during the maximum amount of time.
 Management is obliged topredict the number of customers and adapt the number of
employees and goods to this, i.e.: during the day in case of unscheduled heights or the fall in
the number of customers the management has to manage smoothly the working time of the
staff (extend working hours of the staff or increase the number of the staff, shorten working
hours or reduce the number of the staff).
 The store Management should inform the staff about the sale results and the level of the
realization of a plan during the day and after finished work.
 The store Management makes a briefing every day with the staff about daily instructions and
they should motivate the staff to the effective realization of tasks and to the implementation of
a sales target.

o effective managing of the goods trading (delivery, carting, transport).
 The store Management manages a team competently – they recruit and train new employees
in the scope of standards and procedures which in practice let them de their duties by
themselves on the highest level.
 Within 7 days after finishing the month the management is obliged to conduct the individual
conversation with every employee about work results to give the feedback, motivation or

VM CHECK LIST

A check list – it is a tool to help in controlling the standards which each store should meet every day
(Appendix no 1).
1. A person who is responsible for the store from Monday to Friday is to fill a check list.
2. A check list should be filled before making the day planning.
3. A controlled check list should be put in a visible and accessible place at the backs of the store
in such a way to make it available for the visiting person.
4. The Manager is obliged to present the VM Check List to the person visiting the store with the
aim of verifying if the VM standards are followed.

Important! A check list and a day planning from the day before are to be put in a file binder
which is entitled as "Day planning". Both documents are archived for 1 month.

DAY PLANNING

Day planning (a table) – is a tool helping in organising and efficient managing of the store (Appendix
no 2).

Before filling the "Day planning" it is necessary to:

1. Complete the VM Check List.


2. Know the current VM instruction and orders from the Company.

Important! Day planning must be prepared before stores opening and hanged on the notice
board. Table + VM Check List from the day before should be placed in the file binder which is
entitled as "Day planning".

A particular person must be appointed for tasks and orders who will be placed by the Management in
the table with tasks description and the deadline. The store Management is responsible for informing
the staff about the given tasks and controlling the deadlines. In case of unrealized tasks the
Management should give the reason and correct the time for the task realization. The Management
also has to check the correctness and punctuality of performed tasks which were given for the
particular day, after performing the task or after the finished employees’ shift.

In case of special campaigns it is necessary to realize the task taking the stores functioning priorities
into account, to plan activities process in the perspective of the scheduled time.

SALE ANALYSIS

RES – REPORT OF THE SALE EFFECTIVENESS


RES is used to monitor the sale indicators everyday by every store.
It is very important to make entries and supplements in RES every time after finishing a working day
and after completing the data this file has to be sent to the direct Superior. In case of not being able to
send the report (a problem with an email) the storeis obliged to pass over the report with all available
methods till 9 a.m. on the next day. The direct Superior should be informed about all problems and the
difficulties associated with sending immediately after finding the problem.

Table of the plan realization

The table demonstrates the daily plan realization, as well as % of realization of a daily plan.

At the bottom of the table we can see the summary of the sales calculated from the beginning of the
month and the monthly prognosis of the plan realization.

EVALUATION OF THE SALES INDICATORS

To assess the work of the store we apply a number of sales ratio measures which read out or
calculated based on the data from the RES table.

The further part describes all basic indicators are on the base of which we create sale analysis.

DESCRIPTION OF BASIC SALES INDICATORS

1. SALES VALUE

It is a net value of the sales achieved in the set period of time.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 10


2. TRAFFIC

Number of all customers who entered the store (not necessarily purchasing). Traffic is
calculated by the measuring device installed at the entrance gate to the store.

3. SALES EFECTIVENESS

Number of customers who purchased (number of receipts) divided by the number of all
customers who entered the store.
This indicator is expressed in the per cents and it is calculated by the following formula:

RECEIPTS
100  Effectiveness [%]
TRAFFIC

4. NUMBER OF PIECES PER THE RECEIPT

Number of sold goods (number of pieces) divided by the number of transaction/receipts


(of customers who made the purchase).
This indicator is calculated by the following formula:

AMOUNT OF SOLD PIECES


 Number of pieces/ a receipt
RECEIPTS

5. VALUE OF THE RECEIPT (an average)

The indicator determines the average net worth of the receipt, i.e. the average value of the
purchase of the customer during his visit in the store. Additionally it is an information
about the affluence of our customers. It is created by dividing the sales value by all
receipts in the given period of time. This indicator is calculated by the following formula:

SALE VALUE
 an average value per a receipt
RECEIPTS

6. POT (Potential of Traffic)

This indicator determines the sales value per 100 customers.


This indicator is calculated by the following formula:

SALE VALUE
 100 customers = POT
TRAFFIC
Or

EFFECTIVENESS x RECEIPT VALUE x 100 (customers) = POT

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 11


THE ASSESSMENT METHOD OF FUNDAMENTAL SALES INDICATORS

The indicators assessment is based on:

A. comparing achieved indicators with indicators from the previous week


B. comparing the indicators for sales targets
C. indicating falls and growths of individual indicators, discussing reasons for their formation
with the personnel
D. simulations, prognosis

Ad 1. SALES VALUE

A. Sales value from this week is divided by the value from last one, multiplied by 100 to get
the percentage value

31887
 100  92 [%]  fall 8%
34619
A CONCLUSION: decrease in the sales value by 8% towards the sale of the last week

B. Sales value from this week divided by the value of the planned turnover for the week,
multiplied by 100 to get the percentage value

31887
 100  76 [%]  lack 24%
42000
A CONCLUSION: a failure of the plan implementation. 24% missed for the full implementation

Ad 2. TRAFFIC

A. Traffic from the current week / traffic from last week x 100  per cent of the growth / of fall
of traffic

5544
 100  79 [%]  fall 21%
7017

7017 – 5544 = 1473 customers less

A CONCLUSION: The fall of the coming to the store comparing to the last week - 21%  1473
customers entered less.

B. Planning the traffic for the specific week ahead is only a prognosis based on entries from
the last year (analogous stores), the daily average or promotion campaigns. Therefore we
don't treat it as the target but only a prognosis.

Ad 3. SALES EFECTIVENESS

A. Effectiveness from the current week / effectiveness from the last week * 100  percent of
the high/fall of effectiveness.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 12


Next, the effectiveness from the current week is deducted from the effectiveness from the
last week - we receive the actual fall / growth.

Example:
This week the effectiveness amounts to 5.32 %, in the previous week the effectiveness amounted to
the 5.33%.

5.32
 100  87 [%]  fall 13%
6.11

5.32% – 6.11% = -0.79%  fall of effectiveness

A CONCLUSION: Effectiveness fell of 13% (0.79 of a percentage point) comparing to the last
week.

B. Effectiveness from the current week 5.32% is compared with the assigned target of the
effectiveness appointed as the 7%

5.32
 100  76 [%]  lack 24%
7.0

7% - 5.32% = 1.68% to realize the target

A CONCLUSION: to achieve the assigned target it is lacking 1.68 of the percentage point. At
present it is realized on the level of 76%.

MIXED ANALYSES - CROSSED

Having complete information about the realization of indicators or its lack we are making additional
analysis based on mixing individual indicator results with each other to find the relation between them.

 ANALYSIS 1

THE VALUE OF THE LOST TURNOVER appears if the effectiveness in the analyzed week was lower
than during the previous week.

Effectiven es from last week  Traffic from analyzed week


The method:
100
We will get the number of receipts which the store should do to achieve the effectiveness from
the previous week.

Receipts from the analysed week are deducted from the receipts of the calculation and the
difference incurred multiplied by the value of the receipt from this week provides the value of
the lost turnover.

Example:

Effectiveness this week = 4%, number of receipts = 60; traffic = 1450


Effectiveness last week = 5,33%; number of receipts = 80; traffic = 1500;
So

5,33 x 1450 / 100 = 77,28 (the number of receipts which should be worked out to achieve the
effectiveness from the previous week, that is 5.33)

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 13


77 receipts – 60 receipts = 17 receipts, so if this week the store makes 17 receipts more it would keep
the effectiveness on the level of the previous week. The value of the receipt this week was 90 PLN
multiplying by 17 receipts it equals 1530 PLN – the value of the lost turnover this week.

by analogy:

this week’s effectiveness = 4%, number of receipts = 60; traffic = 1450

the assumed minimal effectiveness for this store is 6.5%, so we are calculating how much more
turnover the store would have if it achieved the assumed effectiveness (6.5%)

6,5% x 1450 customers / 100 = 94,25

94 receipt – 60 receipt = 34 receipts more

34 x 22 EUR (an average value of a receipt) = 3060 PLN net

 ANALYSIS 2

LOST EFFECTIVENESS

We obtain the information how many receipts were missed for achieving the effectiveness from the
last week.

We use the indicator effectiveness analysis:

5.32
x 100  87 [%]  fall 13%
6.11

5.32% – 6.11% = -0.79%  fall of effectiveness

Fall of the effectiveness about 0.79 % means that within the assessed week 43 receipts missed

(calculation)

Traffic – 5544 x fall of effectiveness 0.79% = 43 receipts

43 receipts divided by 7 days = about 6 receipts per day - it is about 1 receipt every second hour

It is possible to conduct the similar analysis to compare with the turnover providing the effectiveness
analysis "B"

 ANALYSIS 3

TRAFFIC TO THE SALES VALUE - basic relation – a comparative tool.

This analysis answers the question if the dynamic of the Traffic is proportional to dynamic of the sales
value. Thanks to this we receive the answer if together with the growth of traffic (number of customer
visiting our store) we also have a growth in sales.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 14


LAST WEEK THIS WEEK DYNAMIC
TRAFFIC 7 017 5 544 - 21% fall*
SALE VALUE 34 619 31 887 - 8% fall**
* Way of calculation (see: method of the sales indicators assessment - Ad 2. - A)
* * Way of calculation (see: method of the sales indicators assessment - Ad 1. - A)

Conclusion - the decrease in sale values is above the fall of traffic, which means that in spite of the
reduction of quantities of entries to the store of 21% per last week the sale value fell only of 8%. The
opposite situation would mean reducing the effectiveness of the sale with probably reducing the
indicator pieces per the receipt and also can mean wrong settlement of working hours.

 ANALYSIS 4

TRAFFIC TO THE EFFECTIVENESS - effectiveness analysis of sellers at the change of number of


customers’ entries.

In this case we are looking at the changes in the effectiveness at simultaneous traffic changes.

This relation should take place in the following manner: small traffic - the high effectiveness caused by
the great possibility to make excellent customer service; high traffic - lower effectiveness resulting from
a lot of customers for one working hour.

LAST WEEK THIS WEEK DYNAMIC


TRAFFIC 7 017 5 544 - 21% fall*
EFFECTIVENESS 6.11 5.32 - 13% fall**
* Way of calculation (see: method of the sales indicators assessment - Ad 2. - A)
* * Way of calculation (see: method of the sales indicators assessment - Ad 3. - A)

Conclusions - fall in the effectiveness of 13% per a fall in traffic of 21% is a very worrying fall and it
certainly plays a significant role for the implementation of a plan. In this case one may look for reasons
in bad planning of working hours and quite separately in marketing actions planned for this time. It is
supported by a fall in the interest of the customer and a weak effectiveness are speaking for it.

MANAGER’S CO-OPERATION WITH THE STORE PERSONNEL

CCC BRAND

CCC Brand – a well-known and strong brand

CCC brand is addressed to people in different ages who have fashion in common. The latest trends at
keeping the individual style simultaneously and the naturalness remains the most important aspect
when choosing everyday footwear as well as footwear for special occasions. A sales offer includes a
wide range of shoes of the highest quality of leather as well as the synthetic footwear in fashionable
cuts and colors. Thanks to the diversity of models CCC hits the tastes of the wide range of customers.
An age range is fluctuating between 20 and 50 years of age. The CCC customer is a person living in
big and medium cities. This person is characterized by his or her own style and he or she looks for
new inspirations in the colorful press like: Elle, Viva, Glamour, Joy, and Cosmopolitan. This person
leads the active lifestyle, therefore the availability of CCC stores, an enormous choice in models and
the fashion in a good price which CCC brand offers is valuable for him or her.

ORGANIZATION OF THE SALES AND THE STORE SPACE

At present, on the more and more mature market it is not enough to compete only with the price and
quality of goods. Much important now is what is happening "around" the product or service which is
the quality of the CUSTOMER SERVICE. According to the research in over than a half of examples
(58%), the stores loose the customers through a wrong quality of the customer service, therefore it is
so important to raise the quality of the customer service both from the Company, the work organization
in stores and the ability of salesperson to contact with the customer.

A store Manager bears a huge responsibility. He directly manages the store. He is responsible for
implementing and keeping binding standards, increasing the sales level, caring about the quality of
customer service and managing the sales team. That is way he/she must work actively with his
subordinates and, besides the customer, must be the most important person for them in the store. It is
the Manager who plans work for subordinates, distributes them tasks, controls it and executes their
realization.

MANAGING THE STORE SPACE


In order to increase the quality of the customer service and optimizing the work in the store, the space
of stores is divided into areas:

 an entrance,

 a centre of the Sales room,

 a cash desk.

Important!

We care about the Company’s image.

We pay attention to the form of communicating and behaving of the staff in the store.

It is necessary to pay an attention in the following situations in particular:

 talking about private matters is strictly forbidden,

 it is not allowed to call a co-worker at loud and make loud conversations between
employees,

 employees should limit the conversations and colleague's visits to the minimum,

 it is strictly not allowed for the outsiders to be in the store out of working hours of
store,

 one should pay attention if the door of the facility room is always locked,

 in case of the need to transport goods in the sales room it is always necessary to
use

 the cart intended for this action,

 it is forbidden to move and shuffle boxes directly on the floor in store,

 it is not allowed to have and use mobile phones in the sales room,

 it is forbidden to try the footwear on during working hours,

 it is forbidden to chew, eat and drink in the sales room.

STANDARDS OF A CUSTOMER SERVICE

A salesperson’s professionalism is defined by the knowledge of defined principles of behavior during


the work in a store that is Standards of a customer service. Standards of a customer service in CCC
stores are the description of human kindness. Those uniform standards in the whole chain of CCC
stores serve to distinguish us from the competition, to organize a staff behavior and provide the
customers with the maximum satisfaction while shopping.

If existing rules and standards will be consistently followed it will definitely let us get the group of
regular and satisfied customers and also meeting with the customer will end up more often making the
transaction.

In every situation, irrespective of the number of customers and allotted tasks connected with allocation
the following principles must be followed:

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 31


1. WE GREET EVERY CUSTOMER.

 an employee in the entrance area „welcomes” every customer through an eye contact,
the friendly smile and the pleasing tone. An additional role of this person is to say
goodbye to customers, so called “Observers”, who only quickly came to our store and
without demonstrating any interest in our assortment – we leave them with positive
feelings as far as a customer service is concerned,
 similarly employees in the sales room behaves towards customers staying in the area
served by them - we establish an eye contact,

 it is the first impression that often decides about the positive attitude of the customer to
us and our goods - we care about our external appearance (neatly dressed seller), this
will increase the higher confidence in our person.

2. THE CUSTOMER ALWAYS MEETS THE SMILING, POLITE AND HELPFUL


SALESPERSON.

 this kind of behaviour must always take place irrespective of the number of the tasks,
problems and official duties,

 we are a partner in the conversation for the customer (the customer must feel that we
are able to do everything to satisfy the buyer’s expectations),

 if there is no size which the customer is looking for and he/she turned to the seller-
cashier for the help, one should do:

 first of all, offer some substitute (a similar product) that he has in the store,
 secondly, check the availability of size in the nearest store of a particular brand.

 every seller is obliged to be familiar with the dates of closest deliveries, current
promotions, procedures of the exchange and return of goods,

 in case of any questions and doubts of the customer, the seller is obliged to answer
the client according to his or her best knowledge. If the seller hasn't got such
knowledge he/she should ask coworkers or the superior,

 opinions said by the seller about goods being in offer of the store should be always
positive.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 32


3. IN THE STORE A LAW AND ORDER IS PREVAILING WHAT ENABLES
CUSTOMERS VALUING ADVANTAGES OF THE SELF-SERVICE TO MAKE
INDEPENDENT CHOICES.

 if there are no customers or the little number of them in the store, sellers have to take up the
activities associated with the exhibition of goods (every model must be exposed in the sales
room, correctly marked),

 the small, simply tasks should be made systematically during the customer service,

 the maintenance of the order is a priority during a very large traffic of customers, but cannot lead
to ignoring customers and refusing them to help,

 sellers should avoid correcting, putting the goods in order directly after the customer or during
his presence,

 in the store socks and shoehorns should always be available for customers.

4. THE SELLER IS VISIBLE FOR ALL CUSTOMERS WHO CAN NEED HELP.

 each of sellers provides the service in the appointed area,

 the visible seller often moves in the area and doesn’t leave it without the superior’s approval
(customers know that at any time the sellers are at hands, the customer notices us and it is
possible to help them),

 during the service a seller should encourage trying shoes on. When the customer asks to find
shoes, the seller should prepare 2 shoes of the same pair, suggest trying them on and show the
place and the closest mirror,

 the staff should take paper out from the inside of shoes that are exposed for the sale or when a
carton with shoes is given to try on. A seller should carefully check the inside of the shoes if there
are any objects left that make it difficult to try shoes on (sometimes we can find remains ,e.g.
some nails which weren't correctly removed during the course of the production which can injure
the customer),

 if the customer asks for help and the seller devoted the time to him, he/she should always ask
about the decision concerning the watched offer and try to close the sale,

 when the customer asks for help if there are shoes in the appropriate model and the size or there
aren't ones, the staff should finish the service with the sentence - "I will help you willingly, if you
will need anything". Walking away without a word is unacceptable,

 during the goods presentation a seller should remark that the considerable part of our assortment
is sewn in Poland as well as many elements are handmade in our factory - CCC Factory,

 sellers should positively give their opinion about goods - e.g. for question: "What are those
shoes made from?", seller should answer: "It is eco-friendly leather" - it is best answer for shoes
which are made from the material,

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 33


 sellers as far as it is possible should give their opinion about the product to enable a customer
to make a decision about the purchase,

 the place which customer looks for e.g. the cash desk or goods, the staff of the store should point
with an open hand,

 during the service with a customer only one seller should be talking, not two or three
simultaneously (we avoid asking the same questions),

 the staff should apply the language suited to the situation, they should avoid colloquial
expressions,

 we serve few customers simultaneously (it is better to be for a while at a few customers'
disposal, than devote the entire time for one customer),

 in several multi-storey stores at least one person from the staff should be available on each floor

 it's not possible to allow the situation when a customer goes around the store unnoticed by the
staff.

5. EVERY CUSTOMER WHO SHOWS US BY THE BEHAVIOUR THAT HE NEEDS OUR


HELP MUST BE SERVED.

 the following evidence proves that the customer needs help:

 observing some models longer without making a choice,


 checking contents of other boxes with the footwear,
 trying on few models or sizes,
 seeking the seller deliberately with the eyesight or expressing with the behaviour his
irritation or the resignation.

Important! Such customers have to be served at first.

 when a customer asks the seller for help, and he's busy, he has to stop his work and take care of
the customer, or inform him when he will be at his disposal if he's serving another customer,

 the situation in which the seller demonstrates the customer his dissatisfaction because of
interrupting his work is unacceptable (e.g. a grimace on the face, sighing, the negative comment,
etc.),

 in the situation when the seller is serving the customer he asked for it, and is forced at that time to
walk away for other duties, he should provide the help of other person from the staff. Leaving the
customer without help in this situation is unacceptable.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 34


6. THE CUSTOMER ALWAYS AFTER PURCHASING MUST LEAVE OUR STORE WITH
THE POSITIVE IMPRESSION.

 the service by the cashier's desk is the crowning of the work of the entire staff. Cashier abilities
mostly decide about a positive or negative customer’s impression. Cashiers must be honest,
smiling, polite, unexcitable and talkative,

 the direct customer service by the cashier's desk should last till 2 minutes,

 a cashier should offer every time the accessories which are in a area at the cash desk in
opened space and also explain to customer the benefits connected with this purchase (e.g.
"To enjoy for a longer time from purchasing the shoes you should take care of them... and they
will always look like new ones"). Accessories should be matched to the product (e.g. "Using
this is necessary for that kind of leather... considering..."),

 in the situation when new clients have entered the store, the cashier should notice their
presence (an eye contact and the smile or information that in a minute they will be served),

 if the queue by the cashier's desk consists of 4 persons and more, seller should immediately
open the next cashbox, if such is available,

 if the cashier begins the service he should focus his attention on the customer, and not talk to
co-workers or deal with documents,

 a receipt, a change of the cash - should be given to customers on the cash desk,

 there should be and order on the counter and around the cashier's desk - documents and
cartons cannot be visible for customers and cannot make the service difficult to end,

 process of ending the sale is a real art, which needs using specific methods. When serving by
the cash desk it is necessary to avoid:

 talking with the customer without welcoming

 greeting the customer without an eye contact

 leaving the customer without any help or information why/what is happening

 in unexpected situations (e.g.: failure of the cash register, lack of the price, slowly working
terminal) we always inform the customer, what will be happening and how much it will take as
well as we are placing the announcement about the existing situation or the event.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 35


CUSTOMER SERVICE

SALES PROCESS

The sale process should contain successive stages of the sale conversation one by one. Every sale
can be different because types of customers are different. However the sale process has to be kept.

Every seller should use his working hours in an optimal way. On the one hand, everyone from the staff
in CCC stores must be able to work according to the sale process so as to be able to take the
customer through the whole process independently when being turned to for help. On the other hand
working hours which aren’t used to help customers should be devoted to the work with goods and
keeping the store in order.

BASIC STAGES:

GREETING AND MAKING THE CONTACT

EXAMINING THE NEEDS

PRESENTATION OF THE OFFER

WORKING WITH THE CLIENT’S OBJECTIONS, DOUBLE SALE, CLOSING THE SALE

SERVICE BY THE CASH DESK

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 36


I. GREETING AND MAKING THE CONTACT – MAKE A RELATION

REMEMBER! WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH GOODS:

and the customer asks you for the help, stop your work and be at the customer's disposal:

 make the eye contact with a customer


 smile friendly
 kindly nod your head, say hello
 start free conversation:

“I will help you willingly, what are you looking for?”

“I will help you willingly to find your size.”

“I see that you are interested in…?”

“I can see that you want to buy something for the whole family…”

REMEMBER! DURING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE:

 When the other customer initiates the conversation, ask the new client for the delay,
determine simultaneously, when you are free or organize the help of the other employee in
the store,

 If you have only one customer (in big stores) use a double-line sale – serve the customer and
make the other employee ( not participating openly in the sale) bring you shoes for your
customer,

 If you have a few customers simultaneously, you should shorten the attended time of the
current customer and come to next, stopping the service for a short while, when the customer
is trying the footwear on as well as announce that in a minute you will come back. When the
other customer received shoes for trying on, we are leaving him (if you are needed for the
next person or the previous person), saying:

“If you will need my help I’ll be close to you.”

“I’ll come back to you right away if only I help the customer beside you.”

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 37


II. EXAMINING THE NEEDS- DEFINE WHAT THE CUSTOMER NEEDS

 Competently establish customer’s needs – taste, style, expectations,

 Ask opened questions, starting with:

WHAT, WHICH, WHY, IN WHICH, FOR WHAT, TO WHICH, WHEN, ON WHEN, WHERE?

For example:

“What size are you looking for?”

“What’s the purpose?”

“What are you interested in?”

“Who are you looking it for?”

 If in any moment the customer says that he doesn’t need your help, inform him that you'll
help him again if he wants to:

"If you will need my help I'll be arranging the footwear beside."

 never answer your own questions, be patient, wait till you hear the answer from the client

 Actively listen to the customer to make conclusions ( the purpose and aim ), through: an eye
contact, asking, paraphrasing (repeating with your own words), e.g.:

“I understand that you are looking for shoes…,yes?”

“From what I’ve heard, they have to be…?”

“Uh-huh, they have to be…?”

III. OFFER PRESENTATION – PRESENT THE OFFER

- Propose the product according to the customer expectations:

 if during the conversation you established that currently you don't have a product which the
customer wants to buy, always put a substitute forward (a similar product),
 if the customer independently chose the product and your help is based on only finding the
colour or the size the customer service beginning from this point.

- Be familiar with the store offer, efficiently find the product,

- If you don't have a colour or a size, you should:

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 38


 inform the customer that you are going to check the availability of the product in the system
and in the facility room,
 if the product isn't available in our store you should give addresses and phone numbers of the
closest stores in which he can buy this product.

- Present maximum 2-3 products,

- Present a product to show the customer benefits which he can get by buying our goods
ATTRIBUTE/ADVANTAGE/BENEFIT, for example:

“Thanks to the leather upper and the lining (ATTRIBUTE), this shoe breathes (ADVANTAGE)
what gives you the great comfort from using (BENEFIT).”

“This model is fully made of leather (ATTRIBUTE) which is very durable and well keeps the
form (ADVANTAGE), so even after the longer using the shoe will keep its elegant look
(BENEFIT).”

“This shoe was sewn (ATTRIBUTE), so it's more durable (ADVANTAGE), and you can really use
it for a long time (BENEFIT).”

“In this model under the leather the membrane was used(ATTRIBUTE) which guarantees that
foot will breathe and also provides a waterproof protection (ADVANTAGE). This protection
guarantees that the child even after the long winter walk will have dry feet (BENEFIT).”

 Always positively give your opinion about goods, e.g.: "What are these shoes made of?" in
case of the material always answer that it is "eco-friendly leather",

 Always encourage the customer to try shoes on,

 Show the place where customer can try shoes on and the closest mirror – always with an
opened hand,

 If during trying on the customer says to you that he doesn’t want your help any longer, thank
him and go to other tasks. Ensure simultaneously that you are approachable if that is
necessary. Use expressions:

“I understand and I wish you good shopping.”

 Remember that customer should try minimum 2-3 products,

 Demonstrate the full commitment,

 Inform the customer about current promotions and marketing actions.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 39


IV. WORKING WITH OBJECTIONS, DOUBLE SALE, ENDING THE SALE.

 Listen to customer’s objections, answer accurately and calmly, don't back them off,

 Remember that the customer’s resistance is not unequivocal with an offer rejection.

THE MOST FREQUENT


WAYS OF DEALING WITH THEM
OBJECTIONS

SIZE (TOO BIG, TOO SMALL) try on, fit, give an another model

try on, show this model in another color and give the alternative
COLOR (PRETTY?)
model

FITTING (DOES THIS SHOE FIT try on, fit the size and give the alternative model
WELL?)

PRICE (TOO EXPENSIVE) emphasize benefits, principle: high quality = high price

ensure the customer of the choice, use arguments, it is always


QUALITY (TOO LOW) possible to complain goods

REMEMBER!
DON'T ASSUME THAT THE CUSTOMER CANNOT AFFORD THE BIGGER PURCHASING,
ALWAYS OFFER NEXT PRODUCTS.

EVEN AFTER SELECTING, PROPOSE NEXT ONES UP TO THE MOMENT WHEN THE
CUSTOMER CLEARLY WILL LET YOU KNOW, THAT HE'S NOT INTERESTED.

 Always remember about “double sale”,


 When you have one customer:

 recommend additional products and demonstrate them necessarily


 indicate the needs (e.g. care cosmetics for shoes)
 fit to the main purchase

Examples:

- A SHOE + A COSMETIC/ACCESSORIES

- A SHOE + A BAG

- A BAG + A COSMETIC

- A SHOE in a regular price + A SHOE in a special price

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 40


- an elegant SHOE+ a sport SHOE

REMEMBER!

ALWAYS WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS IN THE COMPANY OF THE OTHER PERSON, OFFER HER
OR HIM THE PURCHASE.

- When you have two customers:

 a parent + a child - at first realise the basic target, serve the customer interested in the
purchase (a parent), next serve the second customer (a child) or the other way round,

 adults - serve the customers in a parallel way

Phrases helpful during double sale:

“We recommend for those shoes…”

“A producer recommends for those shoes…”

“Your new shoes require applying special cosmetics for care, because …”

“A … application is necessary for this kind of leather, because …”

“To keep your shoes in an impeccable condition one should use shoes...”

“Taking into account the weather I propose to apply already today …”

“Our cream perfectly suits the color of your new shoes, that is why …”

„Did you pay your attention that we have a bag made of the same material...”

Remember about closing the sale! You must be determined and active, use the phrase:

“What decision?” + silence

“So, are we packing?”

“Excellent decision, I'm inviting you to the cash desk...”

Summarize the customer’s choice and assure him that he is going to make the best choice:

“I am sure that in these shoes you will be able to practice sport for a few seasons.”

“These shoes are sold great, because this model is very interesting and the price is really
attractive.”

about the sales process. The sheet of observation and the sales review (Appendix no 8)

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 43


Appendix no 8

PROCEDURE OF CONDUCTING THE ASSESMENT OF THE SALE PROCESS (TUS)

The sheet is intended for all employees (with a short and with a long job experience). Its aim is to
implement the knowledge from the training on the Customer Service during every day work of a new
employee as well as improving abilities of employees with a long seniority.

The employee’s assessment is conducted by store Managers (during the visit).

While conducting the job assessment by the Manager the employee shouldn’t know that he is
observed and assessed at the moment.

Per day a job assessment of a one employee is held on the basis of three contacts with the customer.

During the customer service the employee should perform all tasks from the sheet correctly.

Observation consists of "collaborative" customer service during which it is necessary to pay attention
to the fact if the employee performs the tasks designed in the sheet.

After an every contact with the customer the employee must be assessed taking into consideration his
level of performing the tasks. Every time the employee should receive the information about the
achieved result. At first the advantages are discussed then the employee’s reserves and guidelines of
the work on given elements are presented.

The sheet has 41 points which the manager judges on the basis of observations.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 44


For the correctly performed activity 1 point is granted, for the activity performed improperly 1 point is
granted if the activity didn't appear 0 points are granted.

It is possible to pass TUS when all stages described in the sheet of the sale appeared, i.e. when the
customer was indeed interested in the purchase.

To pass the TUS, the judged seller must correctly perform at least 37 of 41 specified activities. The
sheet which is performed below 37 points does not provide a passing grade.

For every employee the separate sheet of job assessment should be completed

After the finished cycle, when all employees are assessed, the cycle starts again.

New cards are completed then. Next observations can be carried out only in areas which the
employee has problems with.

Before the employee reaches a new cycle, the training stages with which he has problems should be
practiced.

The file binder should be created, in which sheets of job assessment and observation will be collected.
Assessment sheets should be kept in the filing cabinet up to 6 months.

A SECRET CLIENT

The level of keeping standards of the Customer Service by employees of CCC stores is checked by
the questionnaire of the Secret Client. This questionnaire checks if the store customers are served
according to the standards in of the CCC Sales Process.

The research is conducted in an every CCC store and always ending with the purchase of CCC
goods. After every research the results are made available to stores in an electronic form.

The Manager is obliged to discuss assessments of the Secret Customer with the entire team and
specific employees. Assessments are divided into areas which can be analyzed individually within one
examination or e.g. few months observing with what areas of the customer service the store has a
constant problem.

The store Management is obliged to conduct the continuous process of improving sale abilities of staff
according to training materials of the sale process (coaching) and correcting areas more poorly
assessed by the Secret Client of the service.

A JOB INTERVIEW

The recruitment conversation should fulfill the following conditions:

- Equal time of the conversation for all candidates, 15-30 minutes (for a managerial position
appropriately longer),

- Identical questions for all candidates.

Analysing the CV one should take into account:

 Professional course of a career,


 tendency to change the position,

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 55

 consequences of the change of job (promotion, decline, horizontal changes),
 course of the education,
 performed practice,
 readiness to learn.

Detailed analysis of the employment history:

name of company/time work/position

We pay attention especially to:

dates and the continuity of the employment - to write down possible points and during the
conversation make some explanations witj the candidate

the size, industry and the specificity of the company in which the candidate was employed

The following tendencies in the professional career are important:

 Growth  Decrease

 Stagnation  Direction

 Rate of changes

Important! It is necessary to pay a particular attention to a possible short periods of


employment or very frequent changes and that must be cleared up!

PREPARATION FOR THE JOB INTERVIEW

- plan where you will have the meeting, if it is a facility room, take care of the comfortable seating and
order,

- inform employees about meetings and ask them not to disturb at that time,

- turn off or mute the mobile phone, DON’T answer the phones during the conversation, it shows the
disrespect for the candidate,

- prepare possibly detailed list of questions concerning professional predispositions (during the
conversation you can look at the sheet and follow the questions which you prepared).

So that the impression during the first seconds of the meeting did not disturb our perception, one
should know that the following things have the influence on the first impression:

- In 75% it is the eyesight.

- In 13% it is hearing.

- In 6% it is handshakes.

- In 3 % it is smell.

- Only in 3 % what the candidate said in the first moments!

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 56


The most frequent mistakes during the interview, i.e. elements which can disturb the correct
inference:

 Submitting to stereotypes.
 Halo effect - somebody seems similar to us and that’s way he is more attractive candidate for
us.
 Aureole effect - somebody who we like according to one attribute, e.g. is pretty, also seems
better to us under other attributes.
 Satan effect - opposite of the halo effect, e.g. if somebody recommended the candidate which
we don't like very much, the candidate seems to us to be weaker.
 Priority effect - we remember the first candidate better than the next one - especially if we
have to make a decision after longer time.
 Freshness effect - the last candidate is also remembered better, has bigger
chances if we are making decisions in the short time.

Additionally it is worthwhile to pay attention to the most frequent bad habits of the person
conducting a conversation:

 Counterfeiter of the attention - phone calls, conversations with other persons, dealing with
issues directly not connected with the interview things.
 Fault-finder - "niggling" of candidate.
 Listener being bored - demonstrating the boredom, yawning.
 A distracted listener - instead of listening, thinking about something e.g. about the next
questions.
 Facts collector - the listener doesn't pay attention to the cohesion of the statement with body
language and with emotional meaning of the statement.
 Artist of one actor theatre - concentration on yourself to prove the best during the
assessment of the candidate.

What can be helpful?

 Making notes.
 Proper preparation: knowledge about information included in CV of the candidate, questions
prepared earlier, preparing the outline of the conversation, that is asking similar questions to
all candidates (simpler comparing a few persons).
 Active listening.
 Additional summing up of impressions on the candidate after the conversations in writing.

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 57


The proper selection of questions can also help with the effective recruitment conversation:

+ OPEN QUESTIONS (starting from "how", "in what way", "why", "when", "how many", "for what")
- CLOSED QUESTIONS (starting from "do you"; are giving the possibility of answering only YES or
NOT)

It isn't allowed to ask the questions that have discrimination meaning:

 Questions about the nationality, religious beliefs and political, the medical record, sexual
preferences, or the candidate was under arrest, or the candidate is pregnant, or planning
pregnancy, and this kind of questions.

In the conversation it is possible to use the following sheet.


Support sheet to an interview in CCC stores:

well as with its content.
- sum up WZ (Issuing) documents and check with the FV document.
- accept the delivery to the state of the store.

GOODS TRUCKING-IN

Goods trucking-in is a process based on sending off-season goods from CCC stores to central
warehouses or other places indicated by the company. The transfer is conducted in CCC stores in
order to make the room in the store for the footwear for the coming sale season.
The transfer is conducted twice a year (the transfer of the summer season footwear and winter season
footwear).
The store receives information about the transfer and the date of its realization from the person who
works in the Shipment Department together with the list of the footwear intended for the transfer.
After obtaining information from the goods caretaker, the store Manager should prepare the goods
wrapping packets up with foil stretch and with CCC company tape.

STEPS:
- parcels should contain an even number of shoe pairs of one brand.
- the last items of the assortment of a given brand may be mixed with other brands in order to keep the
packing standards (approximate overall dimensions of the parcels) according to the principle 1 packet
= 1 WZ (Issuing )document.
- one should print copies of WZ (Issuing) documents and after ending the process of preparing
packets sum them up and then write down the number of summed up packets and the number of pairs
write in the CMR document.
- shoe pairs in the parcels should be put with labels facing one direction (see the picture above).

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 68


Important! The shoes that are the subject of complaints cannot be packed into the parcels!

- the parcel should be carefully stretch wrapped and the company tape should be stuck along the
edges.
- parcels should be marked with the big letter "Z".

- each parcel should be provided with its document WZ (only original) that should be stapled
and placed under the sheet marked with the letter "Z".

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 69


WZ put under the
sheet with the
letter „Z”

Shoes “loose” dispatched without individual boxes:

- should be absolutely packed into a collective box which size should be appropriate to the
number of shoe pairs to be placed inside and an issuing document must be put into the box
- the box selected to be packed “loose” should be selected in such a way that it is full after
loading.
Important! Sealing a parcel that is only partially full, as in the picture below, is unacceptable. A
parcel packed in such a way WILL BECOME DESTROYED during the transport!

- if it isn’t possible to select a suitable packaging, the edges of a bigger size box should be
appropriately adjusted by being cut (a picture below)

CCC MANAGER’S BOOK -CCC S.A. Polkowice 59-101 ul. Strefowa 6 70

the damage.

A METHOD OF PACKING GOODS FOR DISPATCHING

FOOTWEAR IN UNIT CARTONS

Each pair of footwear should be packed into the original unit cardboard box and one complaint
reporting should be enclosed to this. Unit cartons should be arranged with labels on the same side
and wrapped up carefully with transparent stretch foil. Package corners should be secured with the
brand tape. On each side of the packet (excluding the side on which the bar codes with unit cartons

FOOTWEAR AND BAGS SENT IN BULK

Goods sent in bulk must be packed into the collective carton, and its size must be conformed to the
number of goods put in it. Each pair of the footwear should be connected with each other (with
shoelaces, a Velcro fastener or fastened with rubber) and it should contain the enclosed complaints
form. In case of bags, the complaints form should be put inside the goods. Every carton must be filled
up entirely, because otherwise it can become destroyed during the transport (do not send partially
filled cartons). If it is not possible to get more suitable packaging it is necessary to cut the bigger
carton to the right size. The carton prepared in such way must be wrapped up with transparent stretch
foil and corners of the carton must be secured with the brand tape. On every side of the package
markings with accordance to the example must be put. The way of packaging the package and the
example of marking are presented below.
