EBLABOR:it's called confusion, he pretends he wants to cut change, but he is actually taking more from the drawer ,it's goes unnoticed and he covers it up by not entering it in the sales book since it manualThat's why she needs to add electronic invoicing or sharp guy will still outsmart her.

Evathyst: There are ways to tackle this. First look for a progammer to design a database for you. All your goods and numbers of the goods will be recorded there in. Then you start issuing receipt for goods being sold on daily bases, using this database, the commodity of goods sold at the end of the day must tally with what's left in the database. Yiu should hire a security man who would be check mating the receipt of items bought with everything customers has on his/her receipt.. Then stock counting should be done once in a week to check mate and balance account. Cctv also comes handy just in case. |

Evathyst: You need to intall a competent sales management system at your store, that system will have every goods, stored in it by ID and whenever sales is made it reflects in the system.. Also the cctv camera is also a good idea.. If you are interested in getting a good sales system. Hit me up with the number in my siggy. |

After catching the culprit red handed, what next? I have stopped giving business advice to friends because at the end of the day, they tell you, my sales girl is like a sister to me, if I deduct the 7k, how much will remain from her salary, etc. So they keep giving warning upon warnings that go unheeded. When will you have time to watch CCTV footage, when would you have time to check goods sold against prices paid? So many sales people are stealing millions from businesses, even in the smallest shops. I have thought of starting an auditing firm for small businesses but my friends prove we are not ready yet. How many businesses have a record of daily sales? We just sell and collect money, no tracking whatsoever. Best bet is to keep your records straight and invite an external auditor regularly, because even the accountant or manager you intend to employ would connive with the sales staff. |

you need to be keeping records. Whenever you get new stock, call both of them and do the count together. Show them the number of items and how much the counted items is expected to generate. Tell them to keep records and make them understand that if at anytime you count the items again and notice that the amount sold doesn't tally with money generated and the stock left, they will pay for it with their money. let them take responsibility for the store like they own it. That way they'll think twice before stealing. they can even decide to resign if they notice that all loop holes are blocked and no money to steal. 1 Like |

@ OP. 1. Get the staff pocketless shirts and pocket less trousers for uniforms. 2. Get a locker outside the store and make sure it is in the security room. All staff must lock their items, bag, etc in the locker. 3. Security searches everyone before going into the store, and after closing to come pick up their bags. 4. Get CCTV monitoring outside, inside, cashier positions, and have a dedicated security man watching the CCTV. 5. Have customers place their handbags in a locker by the entrance. Only your shopping bags after purchase should go out the stores. 6. Monitor Suppliers, Monitor/check cartons, dustbins/thrash cartons staff want to dispose of. And the most important point of all is to ensure tha you place a 3 Likes |

Evathyst:So your saying if you are giving this same opportunity in life you would steal too? |
Re: My Sales Boys/girls Steal From Me. by thedondada(m): 2:39pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
Evathyst: The solution is simple... Get a cash receipt machine and ensure notices are pasted all over the walls of the shop to ensure clients collect thier receipts. Then p.o.s is the next thing to obtain. No doubt they will still steal cos these guys are ingenious. Then fire the next person who's caught stealing + small police wahala on his head. Good luck |

All you need is an automated inventory control system. You set it up and update whenever you add new stock. Each item is given a tagged when you stock up and it automatically removes tags from stock whenever a sale is made. You can access the system from anywhere and know exactly how much stock you have left and how many has been sold. If a tag has not been sold and it is not in the store, then it was stolen or sold and not reported. This way, you know exactly how much to deduct from their salaries or if youshould lock them up and throw the keys very far away. |

naijacutee:wow I have been searching for a book that talks about psychology and business, I didn't see. often times I visit www.psychologytoday.com just to learn one or two things. I will deeply appreciate it if you can send a copy to me via mail. pls respond as soon as you get this. |

Its very very easy to checkmate stealing in a small scale business IF the products are products that stocks can easily be recorded. If you sell cosmetics, take for example you have a total of 1000 items in the shop this march, so if at the end of march you have 900 products left. in the record sheets you should be able to count a total of 100 products sold in the record book. anything short of that means stealing. Now you can monitor the record sheets in comparisons with the total stock in shop. You can do this on a weekly,Monthly or quarterly asis depending on the size of your business. Where it becomes quite difficult is if your goods isn't something that's easily sizeable. eg someone who sells Food stuffs in retail form. A sales boy could sell 2cups of garri and pocket the money for the day and your Garri would still be huge because a 2cup loss won't be so noticeable. Its not easily recorded like someone selling a packaged product. 1) Start now and take the total number of goods in the shop. 2) For every sale, the description and quantity sold should be record. 3) Every week, monthly or quarterly do a total review of how much goods left your business and if it corresponds with how much sold. 4) Crosscheck the amount that was paid into the business account and see if it Tally's with the amount recorded so far in the sales book (sales boy are fond of selling a product, collect half of the money sold but document it as full payment in the sales book, which is why you must crosscheck how much they pay into the business account regularly) :-) 4) Finally, Prepare a consequence action for defaulters, a simple police arrest will put fear in the mind of your workers who have criminal tendencies. #cheers #I am speaking from my experience at Idumota market. 1 Like 1 Share

Evathyst:Unfortunately, even if you install CCTV and electronic receipt system, the need to review data generated and general supervision will still be there. But if you can, this is your best bet. |
Re: My Sales Boys/girls Steal From Me. by chukzyfcbb: 6:06pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
forget these talk about CCTV. a simple magnet placed by the side of a CCTV will render it useless. Don't ask me how I know this, if you do business in Idumota market or computer village or Alaba u will be wiser at a fast pace. Follow the old way of taking stock inventory and always cross check it with the credit alerts/payment receipts of money paid into the account. I know thier tricks at the back of my palm from selling in these areas (oshodi, alaba and Idumota) |
