✅ How well you use your time on the floor
✅ How your sales compare to your wage and expenses
✅ Whether your shift is profitable for both you and the company

📊 How Sales Performance Is Calculated

At the end of your shift, your performance is calculated based on:
💰 Total sales
🕓 Hours worked
💵 Hourly wage + your commission
📦 Company expenses

We check how much revenue you brought in, how much it cost to run your shift, and what percentage of sales went to your pay and expenses.

📋 This result is printed as “Sales Performance” — always review it before you leave!

💡 Why It’s Important:

• Ensures fairness across everyone 👥

• Shows if your shift was profitable 📈

• Helps managers know when you need support 🤝

• Guides scheduling and training decisions 🗓️
  
  

🎨 Performance Color Zones & Consequences

Your result is shown in a color zone. Each color tells you where you stand 👇

🟢 Green Zone – 30% or below (means your salary is within 30% of total sales you made)
⭐ Excellent! You’re within target.
🔥 Keep doing what works and share your strategies!

🟡 Yellow Zone – 31–50% (means your salary is within 31-50% of total sales you made)
⚠️ Borderline. Okay occasionally, but improve consistency.
💬 Ask for tips and focus on raising frames sold per hour.

🔴 Red Zone – 51–90% (means your salary is within 51-90% of total sales you made)
🚨 Warning! The company is losing money on your shift.
📞 Talk to your manager, work on approach & closing.
👶 New photographers: consistent red = risk of termination.
👤 Experienced: monthly red = performance review.

🩸 Burgundy Zone – Above 90% (means your salary is above 90% of total sales you made)
❌ Critical! Salary exceeds 90% of sales — serious loss.
📷 New: removed from shifts until retraining.
📆 Experienced: two in one week → temporary suspension.
💪 Even in slow spots, aim for $100–200 minimum per shift.

🎯 After every shift:
🟢 Maintain if green
🟡 Adjust if yellow
🔴 Take action if red/burgundy

🎯 Average Sales Goals & Frame Targets

💪 To stay strong, aim for these minimums:
📅 Mon–Thu: 4 frames/hour
🔥 Fri–Sat: 6 frames/hour
🏆 Busy restaurants: 10–50 frames/hour possible!

💰 Example 4-Hour Shift:

• Mon–Thu → 4×4×$15 = $240 minimum goal

• Fri–Sat → 4×6×$15 = $360 minimum goal
  
  

📈 If you’re far below without a clear reason, your color will drop.

💭 Think Smart:

• Know your target before clock-in ⏰

• Check progress mid-shift 📋

• Improve by:
  💬 More approaches
  🤳 Group + separate shots
  💸 Clear offer explanation
  🤝 Confident closing
  
  

🛡️ Protecting Performance on Slow Days

Sometimes it’s not your fault! 🙃
🍽️ Empty restaurant, ☔ bad weather, 🏟️ event traffic — it happens! 🧾 To make sure it’s fair, you must document it:

📹 When Slow:
1️⃣ Send video updates every 30 min to your work chat.
2️⃣ Show guest flow or empty areas.
3️⃣ Keep updating until traffic improves.

This helps managers see what’s happening 👀 and keep things fair.

🚫 Don’t:

• Stay silent 😶

• Wait till end of shift to explain 🕚

• Stand still without engaging customers
  
  

✅ Do:

• Communicate 💬

• Show proof 🧾

• Stay proactive 💪
