Sales Committee meeting for 4/18/11

Facil: Paco M.
Scribe: Mike M.

Present: Ian Y., Tony C., Mike M., Paco M.

The purpose of this meeting was to have a quick check-in on current and up-coming events facing the Thriftstore working group.

Old Commits

Discussion

Servers

Planning on storing them in back in a large rack, removing the mid-sized rack from the floor. This will save on space. We will continue to put workstations on the floor. No change in pricing on any servers but we do feel that selling them in another way, such as Craigslist, will allow us to move more of them without having to drop the price. Tony suggested that we go ahead and set up a template for Craigslist to begin posting them.

Interns!

We have none! One got moved back to June and the other got axed. 1 intern left. :( What to do? We will be training another store staffer soon. Tony is reviewing applications pfor the sales/reuse position. The hope is to focus on training this new staffer before we roll out the new schedule which has all store staff doing less double shifts in the store. As of right now, we feel that training another intern will be a net loss in the coming weeks due to the amount of time and resources it takes to train another intern.

Commits

All Thriftstore workers have committed to a new piece of Thriftstore policy:

Let the record show that if any Thriftstore worker referes to "The Internet" and "Google" by another reference other than specifically stated, such an offender shall be required by Freegeek Thriftstore policy to buy the store crew drinks of a collective choosing. So it shall be done. ex: "interwebz," "the googz," etc.

-#Online Sales - Who is doing what? Let's plan to discuss the shift of workloads when Santiago is on vacation; who will be participating in the online sales workload? To be discussed further at the OSAC briefing.
+Servers
-#New Store Credit thoughts/training (tony) - Only store staff will be able to issue it. Tech support will NOT be creating store credits; all of that will be handled by the store from this point forward. We don't want Tech Supp. to have to deal with credits, etc. The goal of the new credit system ultimately, however, is to give feedback to production.
-#Refunds for huge sales (over $X) (tony) - Thoughts on whether we should see id for items over certain amounts or of certain types. Up in the air still.
