Your key duties include performing sales activities in order to generate sales, achieving sales budgets, targets and income, attracting and retaining customers through merchandising, actioning cash and credit processes and administration in line with policy, dealing with customers in a customer-centric manner, effective self-management and teamwork, and standing in for the Branch Manager when the Branch Manager is not available.
