Can you help me design a Role play for this

I can do recording on my self but need assistance writing roles of concerned persons

I have never done this so get an idea how to write

For this task you are required to produce and record two (2) audio recordings of meetings held between the Sales Team Supervisor (you) and two staff from the following role play scenario.

Both recordings should be of approximately 5 to 10 minutes in duration.You will need to make sure that you have access to a device like a SMART phone or a computer which has a microphone able to record your work.To complete the role play task it is advised to arrange assistance from a further person to participate in the recording to play Eddie and Lyn.

Additional assessment tips

To complete this task, read the role play, develop a script for each character and obtain a device to make an audio recording on.

You will be assessed on how effectively you provide verbal communication exchanges with Eddie and Lyn and in how you use active listening and questioning to elicit, clarify and convey information in relation to the specific issue highlighted within the Role Play Scenario.

The role play is looking at how you adjust your own interpersonal communication style to meet the team's and individual's social and work culture environment.

The role play scenario

As the Sales Team Supervisor, one of your team members Lyn confronts you and makes a complaint about another team member Eddie's personal behaviour towards her.She recounts how he is putting her down by bragging about his own sales record which he insists is always better than her and that she is letting down the team with consistent below standard results.

Lyn's sales are never the highest within the team and were under budget last month due to her mother being ill and her needing to take time away from work to help provide care for her mother.She explains how Eddie's been insensitive towards her and has made her feel upset and depressed.

As the Sale Team Supervisor, you must now facilitate a meeting with Eddie to identify and outline Lyn's concerns relating to his behaviour towards her and to clarify the companies Bullying and harassment policy (see attached) that Eddie needs to comply with when dealing with other staff members.

Once your meeting with Eddie is completed, you will then need to verbally communicate to Lyn the outcome of the meeting with Eddie and provide a verbal strategy that will support both individuals resolve and then move forward to address their own responsibilities and meet the team's broader targeted sales performance.

Case Study

BuySmart Pty Ltd

You work for a progressive and result focused online shopping business called "BuySmart Pty Ltd".

The company works with many fashion retailers to offer their clothes and accessories at a significant discount via their discounted online fashion outlet.It is a very busy and at times hectic office.

The company's core business is negotiating contracts to on-sell fashion goods from both manufacturers and retailers and to sell the stock at a heavily discounted price.Each Monday the company obtains up to 50 new product lines, and it is then the responsibility of your sales team to ensure that these new product lines are displayed and sold during the week.

The company copied an overseas business model and entered the Australian online retail market with no real competitors.To-date it has been highly successful, offering other businesses a way to sell their excess or unwanted stock to a new target market of customers.In the last six months two new competitors have emerged as direct threats to the business.

The company consists of a General Manager, Sales Manager, IT Manager, Marketing Manager, Accounts Manager, Warehouse Manager, Sales Executives, IT Officers, Accounts staff, and Warehouse staff.There are no administrative staff as the General Manager believes in everyone looking after their own administrative work.In total there are 30 staff members who have their own responsibilities and personal KPIs to reach.

You are a newly appointed Supervisor in charge of the five Sales Executives in the Sales Team.You report to the Sales Manager. The current process of conducting business in the sales area includes:

1.Cold call prospective retailers and manufacturers.

2.Call existing clients for repeat business.

3.Secure goods for sale on the website at the agreed commission and schedule.

4.Negotiate additional price for social media advertising to push products through social media advertising, model for photography and prime promotional placement on the site.

5.Exchange contracts with set delivery schedules.

6.Collect and prepare website information which includes copy, images with description, size availability, price, estimated delivery, and size charts.

7.Arrange delivery of good and services from client.

8.Monitor sales from website, keep customer informed of progress; and request more stock if required.

9.Prepare sales report for client.

10.Arrange for unsold stock to be returned to client.

11.Consult with client on results, try to secure another sale.

A strong sales ethic is expected at BuySmart driven from the top down.The managerial positions in the organisation are made up of men only.In fact you notice that there are only three women in the organisation and they all report to you.Each sales executive is expected to secure five new sales each week.Additionally the KPI for the executives is measured by sales generated from their clients. This puts pressures on executives to promote brands that sell well.Sales executives have found it increasingly difficult to lock in sales due to their competitors now providing a 20% discount on sales commissions.They have also had difficulty with some of the software that they are required to use to edit the businesses website which has resulted in staff working many more hours each week.

You also notice that your staff seem unmotivated, stressed and under immense pressure. The Sales Manager expects everyone in the office to work long hours working Monday to Friday from 9-6 as a minimum.

Your sales team consists of:

Mary Koustaboudis - a consistently high performing Executive who has recently revealed to you that she is considering resigning due to the long hours and administrative work. She has had issues with the IT software such as Adobe InDesign and Photoshop to modify web information for the website.

Lucia Allegro - a previously high performing results driven individual who has recently had a child and would prefer to job share.

Lyn Brown - has consistent good results but has recently been burdened with looking after her sick mother and would also like to job share. Recently her sales have been questioned by the Sales Manager resulting in her being under stress.

Eddie Wong - an Executive who aspires to climb the ladder and is bitter he has not been promoted to the supervisory role you have just assumed. He is young, often misunderstood as he has a strong accent, and is very direct with his approach, often unintentionally offending colleagues.

Sam Young - a good performer who has two children in primary school. His wife works part time and does the majority of the running around for the children, but Sam sometimes is required to help.

You realise your management style needs to address operational concerns and improvements and help address the work life balance of the staff.
