Challenge number 1

As my first day with my promotion, yesterday, i had to live up to it and take in my first challenge. my supervisor asked me to deal with a suit rep, that was in the store. she said that it would make more sense for me to talk with her about the signing and markdowns and placing of the suits, instead of her relaying it back to me,so she asked me to deal with her. Gave me the impression that it was goin to be stressful and someone who would be stuck up and really rude. they have a tendency to be that way, considering that they are representing suits that are worth hundreds of dollars, that's the impression they give off. okay to continue, i went over and introduced myself, we talked about how some of the suits were missed during markdowns a week ago, not good. so we went over that marked them, i made like 6 signs, going back and forth form one end of the store to the other, of course the sign shop has to be furthest away from suits. then we remerchandised like 4 racks. it was only like a 30 minute consultation, as we would say. it went well,she was really nice and i got a new look on how important each brand, which is a department in the store, is important along with each division, which includes many departments( brands, or several brands put together), as the whole things flows together in the store. this will be interesting to see as what other reps and challenges i will endure, along with organizing the other store, and the girls who have been their for years. wish me luck.
