Employee behaviour
A New Nordic employee’s most important task is to make life easier for others. For the consumer, the colleague and the suppliers. We act on how things can be made easier for customers, colleagues and suppliers in their daily work and life. Solve problems, initiate simplicity of routines and motivate others with a smile.
A New Nordic employee who are involved in developing products will study the need of consumers and develop products and solutions that make life easier for them.
A New Nordic employee, whose work includes making financial choices, must act as a good merchant, and the decisions must be made on the basis of good reason.
A New Nordic employee working with customers should be knowledgeable and friendly and know everything about New Nordic products and history
be informative, not arrogant;
be professional, not casual;
be friendly, not stuffy;
adapt her behaviour to suit the customer, some want to talk business only and some want to talk more personal;
inform customers about any difficulties that might be occurring and be upfront with changes;
inform her manager of any scenarios that may have the potential to become problematic;
be as accommodating as possible without jeopardising her professionalism; and smile!
Selling is intangible, engaging, knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly.
The idea is to create a lasting memory.
