Among the sales staff in the jewelry industry, there are few male students, and the store managers of the "post-00s" are even rarer.
Li Jiakun, the manager of the Lukfook jewelry store in Zhengzhou Yonghe Time Shopping Center, is such a "post-00s" little brother. He was tall and thin, wearing a black blazer and slightly curly hair, and he smiled when customers came to the store to inquire about jewelry. In the process of communicating with customers, he is humorous and eloquent, with the calmness and sophistication that most "post-00s" do not have.
There are relatively few boys in this industry, and there are more female customers in the face, so I was quite uncomfortable at first. Recalling his work experience, Li Jiakun said.
It's hard to imagine that today's enthusiastic and talkative store manager used to be shy and introverted, and sometimes he didn't even dare to look directly at each other when talking to girls. According to Li Jiakun, he entered the society at the age of 15, made auto parts, ran a bubble tea shop, and also delivered goods, and after trying in all walks of life, he came into contact with the jewelry sales industry.
When he first entered the jewelry industry as a clerk, Li Jiakun, who had no sales experience and was shy, was very uncomfortable and did not dare to introduce products to customers. After an in-depth understanding of the industry and products, Li Jiakun slowly adapted to the working state and fell in love with the industry, and his personality has also changed a lot. "I used to be afraid to speak, but then I realized that there are not so many audiences in this world, just be yourself. Li Jiakun said.
Although he has not been in the industry for a long time, Li Jiakun has gained a lot and grown a lot. In April 2023, Li Jiakun's company will open a new store in Yonghe Time Shopping Center, and he has also ushered in a valuable opportunity.
At the end of April 2023, the new store opened, and Li Jiakun was transferred to the new store as the store manager due to his hard work and excellent performance. "The youngest store manager in our company at that time was about 30 years old, which was both an opportunity and a challenge for me. Li Jiakun said.
For Li Jiakun, the "post-00s" store manager, pressure and challenges are everywhere. Soon after the opening of the new store, as the store manager, he needs to coordinate the affairs of the store, coordinate the division of labor among the store staff, and lead the team to create performance together. Recently, he is conducting sales training for in-store employees to meet the next wave of marketing small peaks - 38 Festival.
In 2024, Li Jiakun set a sales target of 1 million for his team. "I want to keep my feet on the ground, keep learning about the jewelry industry, and develop in this field. When it comes to the future, Li Jiakun is full of confidence.
