Speech & job description for Cobra store sales staff
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 tonefiche_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.
