Finding assistants for the busy salespeople. Maggie - salesperson. Very good at sales but not well organised
Question:
Finding assistants for the busy salespeople.
Maggie - salesperson. Very good at sales but not well organised - often double-books appointments. She's easy to get along with.
Maggie has been thinking about the conversation you had with her, and thinks an assistant might be a good idea - someone to organise her appointments, her feedback reports for her vendors (which she often misses), and to keep track of where she has dropped fliers and when she did it. Maggie realises that in fact an assistant could drop the fliers for her. Maggie would only need a part-time assistant, and the person wouldn't need to be licensed. She's happy to negotiate the hours with her assistant.
Because she is too busy, Maggie has asked you to write an advertisement for her to attract the right person.
David - salesperson. Very good, but is missing business because he's too busy. He is liked by his colleagues.
David has thought about his situation, and now realises that an assistant could work with buyers that he doesn't have time to service. Some of these buyers may also have property to sell, so could become vendors as well. David can see a lot more business if he can find the right person to work for him. The assistant would need to be licensed. To begin with, the assistant could work part time, but David can see that long term there is probably enough work for a full-time assistant.
You have offered to write the advertisement for him, and he has gratefully accepted.
Task 2 Write the advertisements for both these assistant jobs. In your advertisements, describe the positions that are offered, the skills needed and the work that the person will be expected to perform. Also explain the hours and the licensing requirements.
