A weekend salesperson is, as the name implies, a person who agrees to go to work as a salesperson at a time when others would prefer to rest - on weekends.
Weekend salesperson work
According to the labor code, working days are considered days from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. But it turns out that shoppers are busy on the same days the stores are open. When potential customers have a day off, then sellers in stores also have a day off. Therefore, such a position was invented as a weekend salesman. This is a person who agrees to go to work not only on Saturdays and Sundays, but also on holidays.
This allows you to earn more for those who are not satisfied with the salary of the standard five-day week, as well as for students who are usually happy with any opportunity to earn money. Stores, in turn, also value such employees, as profit on weekends often exceeds income earned on regular weekdays.
Working as a weekend salesperson is suitable for those looking for additional income, as well as those who are currently studying in marketing and sales specialties and want to gain experience in direct selling directly in the work environment.
What Does a Weekend Seller Do
The responsibilities of a weekend salesperson are the same as those of a regular employee. He should help buyers make their choice, tell them something about the characteristics of the product, if they are in doubt. To do this, it is important to be able to understand the products of the store. If the buyer is dissatisfied with something, then the seller must correctly respond by listening to the person and, trying to satisfy his claim, eliminate the problem. If this cannot be done in a regular mode, then you need to accept the client's complaint so that it can be processed by the responsible persons.
Also, the weekend seller is busy with the trading floor: he tidies up the goods, puts them in order, sometimes his duties include cleaning the premises. He needs to watch so that the price tags are correctly placed. Sometimes sellers give product presentations and talk about special promotions.
A weekend salesperson has the same corporate discount rights as regular employees. The salary can vary, depending on the place of work and the number of shifts.
What you need to get a job as a weekend salesperson
Like a regular salesperson, the main thing for someone who decides to trade on the weekend will be the ability to communicate with people and the knowledge of how to sell a product. You do not need to have special education, but stress resistance and energy will come in handy, because the flow of clients on weekends is usually higher than on ordinary ones.
As a rule, before starting work, the sales floor employees are required to undergo a medical examination.
