Speech & job description for Cobra store sales staff


Claude · HL · · Cobra

Context

After a team restructure a month ago (reduced store headcount), I needed to clearly communicate my expectations to the sales staff. The raw speech was dense and fragmented, and the existing job description was inconsistent on key points (floor presence, supplier follow-ups, computer use). I needed a structured speech plus a formal document to sign.

What was built

  • Discours_Bullet_Points.md: compact cheat sheet (353 lines), 12 sections, key mantras (systematic greeting, 2 people on the floor at all times, folder ownership, phone greeting)
  • Discours_Equipe_Cobra.md: full prose version (~2,500 words), 30–35 minutes to deliver, natural and direct tone
  • fiche_vendeur_cobra_v2.docx: formal Word document (7 sections, KPI indicator table), ready to print and sign
  • Identification of 10 points to clarify later (Odoo data entry, KPI targets, timing exceptions…)

What was tricky / unexpected

  • Locating the existing job description (in another conversation, as a PNG image) — had to copy-paste the text manually
  • Consistency between the raw speech (dense, repetitive) and the formal document — progressive rewrite aligning structure and language
  • Generating the .docx (npm version issues) — installed docx in /tmp and copied node_modules

Stack

Markdown (bullet points and prose), Node.js + docx library (.docx generation), Bash.

What this shows

Turning a chaotic verbal brief into actionable documents: a hierarchy of tools (bullet points for the speaker, prose for review, docx for signing). Managerial structuring — taking vague expectations and turning them into clear, testable rules. Fast iteration without blocking the final output.
