- Work towards the store’s sales goals and try to beat them each week.
- Stay updated on the latest sport‑wear trends so you can give good advice.

- Follow JD Sports’ rules and procedures at all times.

- You pay attention to details – a tidy shelf and correct price tags matter.
- You can build trust with shoppers so they keep coming back.
- You know how to handle complaints calmly and find solutions fast.
- You have basic negotiation skills – convincing a customer that a product is worth it.
- You are organized, can plan your day, and keep track of stock.
