Air Max 6

I think I have scored some brownie points with Marcus this week.
Yet…I don’t think Marcus likes me…I also dislike Marcus.
Tough road ahead...with Marcus & The Ice Queen.

(1) Tesco Price Card – to show that my dearest English competitor have hijack up their selling prices at a very ridiculous level and then bringing their prices down. Don’t know whether it’s a gimmick or not because by the time the BTS season starts, they can self-declare 50% off or is it because of GST. I am Initiative.

(2) I request to cut my November BTS & Xmas leaflet by 1 page. Can give to the other buyers. I do not need that many pages but I do need additional slots of 3 or 4 items for the leaflets that are in December. I mean come on…does the customer keeps the catalogue for 1 month? I have some very good items (key sales drivers) going on and I would like to go further down on the prices later on & to communicate this information to the customer. I cannot be displaying my best items & best prices to my competitors so soon mah. I need to balance my margin while driving up the sales at the same time. Then, the competitors will copy me. I will not be able to counter-react further because there is no longer any future slots for me. The report has also indicated that the best sell-thru time for my department is from the last 3 weeks of December onwards. Let’s see what this Marcus can come out with. I can Share & I am Analytical.

(3) BTS display layout. I have prepared myself for the worst – no standees are allowed. Imagine that. All items are to be in the bins. Messy. More damage items. That is not the right way to run the stationery business. Stationeries are a business where multiple slices of cake is to be made up into 1 whole cake. Let’s give a fair chance to Marcus to present the standee concept first. Let’s see how it goes from there. I won’t be surprise that in the end, I will be let down and be disappointed. I am a Forward Thinker.

(4) I told Marcus that it is an out of balance arrangement. Ramli’s department contributes only RM3M but got 4 blocks of space. I have 5 blocks of space with a RM5M figure to deliver. Because my items is small? So can bully me easier? I know that I didn’t give any face to Marcus because Marcus was the ex-boss of the department. I am a Fighter.

(5) I have completed my seasonal tagging (HR, CNY, Xmas & BTS) list. I am a Forward Planner.

(6) I got the sponsorship for the next month new store opening. I am a Team Player.

(7) I told Marcus that during Christmas time, give back the space to Alice if its belong to Alice in the first place. Don't give me. I also don't want. It’s ok for the school uniforms to be in the forefront of the location to pull in the crowd. Can put my merchandise right at the back. I Can Compromise & I have a Big Heart. I am also looking at the bigger picture of things. I am not Selfish.
