Retail sales - Bründl Sports

Sporty, sporty!

Skis, boots, bikes, sporting equipment and clothing are just a few of the things you will have to deal with on a daily basis during your apprenticeship. What products are suitable for what use? What knowledge and what arguments are the best way to assist customers and convince them to buy? We don't just care about the basics, we're all about the complete training package "made by Bründl"!

The best training in sports retail

During your apprenticeship, we will provide you with comprehensive knowledge about products from a variety of different sports. In the course of the three years, you won't always be working in the same departments.

You will transfer between clothing, helmets, boots and skis.
You will be able to watch service technicians go about their work
and will experience the mechanics of ski rentals.

To facilitate the process, we provide an in-house e-learning program along with the Bründl Junior Academy, for a full communications and personality development package. You will learn to ask the right questions and receive tips about self-confident body posture and making a competent impression. Our goal: to offer you the best training you can get in the sports retail business!

Things you will be involved with on a daily basis

Of course, each year of your apprenticeship will have different areas of focus. But everything you learn leads logically from one step to the next. Year by year, your know-how, experience and self-confidence in sales will grow. Here is just a small excerpt of some of the activities:

Even in your first year, you'll be actively involved in sales (initially with support from a trainer, of course)
Organization of goods, including delivery, warehousing and sales spaces
Reorganization of products/sizes
Working with Bründl systems
Familiarization with important sales coding

Keeping the shop as well as the warehouse orderly and clean
Producing product information
Depending on the department, you will be trained in basic services such as stringing tennis rackets, running analysis for customers and binding adjustment
Assist with seasonal transitions
and much more…

My apprenticeship buddy Stefan is constantly asking me questions that customers might ask. If I don’t know an answer, he explains it to me. And when I know the answers, that’s great practice for the real-world sales environment.
