I run a branded-clothing store in a mall in New York. One of the sales staff, sp12, just resigned. Do I need to replace them? After I ramped-up the store I've generally tried to keep 7 sales staff. Whenever someone resigns, I use the 1-month notice period to add another person, which is why some months have staffing of 8. Should I continue this pattern? Can you please analyze this data that has sales by salesperson by month, so that you can help me decide what to do?I try to maximize my expected gross margin that I'll earn in the next 6 months, that I calculate as 50% of Sales minus Salary (3/person/month) minus commission (5% of the Sales amount).Show step-by-step logic to back up your recommendation. If you have questions, please use your knowledge of shopping for clothes to make reasonable assumptions and list those assumptions in your response to me. If you think my rules-of-thumb are sub-optimal, please provide better ones
This is the prompt above and data attached you need to build a script to read any future excel/csv formatted with these same columns, analyze it, and provide your recommended answer. With this script (a) I can upload data every month to get your recommendations and (b) other shop-owners can also use it to get recommendations for their shops You can use AI for everything from the code, to the analysis to the data crunching but again it wont be very useful if you just feed it the prompt and upload the file expecting an output
Here is the .csv I''ll reveal the answer later and if you arrive at it you are just as good as competent analysts in big firms. A small hint it might help to visualise the data and break it down further into more metrics to find it.
