    Hi, mickeythecat!

    It would help us to know what is meant by S.M.A.R.T. in order to answer your question the best.

    Thanks!

    HI
    Thanks for replying, I am doing a NVQ 2 in Team Leading, and by SMART Objectives, I mean
    Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-Bound.

    Thank you so much
    I work in the retail industry.

    Then I would think it might concern some of the following:

    Specific - Specifics concerning the products that people are trying to sell. Could be about selling the products based upon a certain area or population in a given area. Goal setting toward specific marketing and selling objectives.

    Measurable - The time frame in which products can be sold. That which can be measured in all ways and factors involved in the marketing, selling and distribution of the products.

    Achievable - That which is known to sell well within a certain time frame. Realistic goals need to be set based upon past experience as well as marketing strategies as well as tailoring the products that will be sold depending on the population to which the product is marketed.

    Realistic - Those items that you know will sell, given a realistic perspective based upon that which is known in the past to be successful at being marketed and sold. Basing your purchasing, marketing and selling on what you know that you can sell so that you don't over-purchase inventory based upon unrealistic goals.

    Time-Bound - The marketing, selling and distribution of products that you know will only be marketable in a certain amount of time, perhaps for only a season or because of market trends as far as what people are most likely to purchase during a specific, given time frame.

    Just some random thoughts... Might be okay, might not. Just thought that I would give it a shot.

    What I posted might give you some helpful ideas, though. I hope that it does!

    Thanks!

    SMART is all about the goals you set for your employees as a manager. The goals should follow the SMART acronym which I think is pretty self explanatory. But if you have more questions let me know...
