What 携帯電話販売 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

携帯電話(スマートフォンを含む)、タブレット、周辺商品・機器の販売や各種契約を行う。
 携帯電話の販売店には、通信事業者による直営店と代理店がある。通信事業者の委託を受けて販売する代理店には、専売店(キャリアショップ)、量販店(家電量販店等のコーナー)、併売店(複数のキャリアの機種を販売する店舗)がある。この他、格安スマホを取り扱うショップがあるが、仕事の内容は基本的には変わらない。
 仕事の一日の流れを見ると、出勤し店内を清掃、朝礼が終わると仕掛り業務の進捗をチェック、当日の目標を確認する。その後、店頭で来店者に声がけし、ライフスタイルに適した携帯端末、タブレット端末を紹介・提示し、通信プランの提案をする。契約、解約、プラン変更の手続きを行うと同時に、顧客の疑問や質問に対応し詳細な説明を行う。端末の破損や故障などトラブルにも適切な対応を行う。また、店舗前で広告の入ったティッシュペーパーや店名入りのうちわなど手軽な販売促進物の配布を行うこともある。
 また、高齢者には端末の取扱方法をセミナー等で紹介したり、未成年者にはスマホの安心安全な利用について案内するなど、カウンターでの接客業務にとどまらない幅広い活動も行なっている。
 一日の終わりには日報の記帳を行い、店内の整理を終え退勤する。
