What are the main job duties of the Area Training Manager role-watches?

• Store Calls – You are required to make regular calls on a variety of outlets including National Jewellers, Department Stores, Retail Outlets, Duty-Free locations and, on occasion, selected independent jewellers – all of which are stockists of many of the company brands. You will need to effectively plan all your stores into a regular 12-week call cycle ensuring your biggest and most important stores & areas are visited monthly. It is your responsibility to efficiently plan your time to ensure you maximise the amount of time in-front of customers rather than travelling in the day.

• In store Training – You will plan and deliver several types of training sessions in your role every day, from quick brand/product introductions one on one with a retail staff member, to pre-arranged fully detailed training sessions with all staff in a store, along with Area Manager meetings and occasionally out of hours training sessions – all done using IT visual training methods and PowerPoint presentations to help retail staff understand  products & marketing plans.

• Merchandising – You will need to take all the necessary action in every call to ensure  window displays are clean, correctly ticketed, well merchandised & that all the necessary stock is out on display. All displays need to be pristine and as visually impactful as possible on your departure from store.

• Customer & Competitor Activity – You are expected to keep HQ informed of the latest marketing activity of our customers and any relevant competitor information, we do this via a securely closed and private company Twitter feed.

• Prospect Calls – On occasions, and as agreed with individual Brand Sales Directors, you will need to make calls at potential stockists to inform & help build a company relationship.

• Account & Call Records – You will be expected to record and maintain customer records via an iPad and special sales App called Pixsell. This will include recording and up-dating photographs of customers’ displays, call information and brand positions within stores.

• Equipment Supplied – To enable you to achieve your responsibilities you will be provided with (for the duration of your employment) an iPad, lap-top computer, projector, and mini-screen. You will also have a company mobile phone and be provided with a company car.  You will also need to maintain all required and agreed POS in the car, ensuring you have everything you need to hand for every call eventuality.
