  8. 10 Tips To Mastering The Role Play

  9. TIP #1: Play ACharacter Hi! I’m Pam, Manager of Elite Automotive. As an employee at Waldo’s World, I am grateful for the opportunity I have to meet with you today.

  10. Tip#2: Explain every Performance Indicator - in detail Example: Determine factors affecting business risk While there are a number of factors that affect our level of risk, we must be able to distinguish between natural, economic and human risks. Human risks are the most likely threat to our business. In this case, with proper employee training and clearly communicated store policies, we can protect ourselves against lawsuits and potential theft. While not all risk is preventable, we can make sure that our insurance policies are updated and provide enough coverage to protect our assets. This is the MOST important part of the role-play!

  11. Tip #3: Create Visual Aids While You Take Notes rely on those if you can, rather than the notes Visual Aid Ideas: Visual Aid Ideas: SWOT Charts Cost and Expenses Budget Sheet Pie Charts/Graphs Brochures/ Employee Benefit Chart/ Training Plan Business Card • Goals and Objectives • Theme or Slogan • Store Layout • Diagrams/ Visual Organizer • Benefit/Advantage Chart • Challenges/Disadvantages

  12. Tip #4: Be Creative & Innovative

  13. Tip #5: Be Realistic • Budgets should not be too big or too small • You cannot give everything away for free! • Celebrities/famous people do not want to help you • Just because you promote or create something, doesn’t GUARANTEE customers will buy it. • Most companies do not make money their first year • Newspaper ads are not the current hot spot for promotion….think social media!

  14. Tip #6: Use Business Vocab • SWOT • Marketing Mix • Promotion and Promotional Mix • Cost Benefit Analysis • ROI (Return on Investment) • Strategic Plan • Types of resources (financial, human, natural) * Look at the Instructional Area for your event and begin to study/review terminology that goes with that area-Use Internet; Marketing Essential textbooks in class, other sources

  15. Tip #7: Be Confident • Handshake • Eye Contact • Posture • No Umsor Likes • Smile • Be self assured

  16. Tip #8: Be Organized • STEP 1: Introduction • STEP 2: State the problem • STEP 3: List your goals and objectives Put these in a bulleted list for your judge to see • STEP 4: Discuss your plan in full DETAIL! (about 10 minutes) • STEP 5: Determine the advantages and disadvantages Costs, timeline, risks • STEP 6: Closing statement and follow-up meeting

  17. Tip #9: Go Beyond The Scenario • Add the Costs or a Budget • Create a timeline or organizational chart • Implement an employee training or staff meeting to prevent future problems • Suggest a long term strategic plan (looking ahead)

  18. Tip #10: Have A Strong Closing • Summarize what you have talked about • Lead into the judges questions: • “I would love to be able to answer any questions you might have” • “What questions do you have for us at this time” • Stay in character: • Ask for a follow-up meeting • Indicate you will have your secretary call them back • Leave them a business card (from your scratch paper) • Ask them to sign a contract to begin your efforts • End with a strong handshake • Do not talk or make any gestures until after you leave the room
