Hey guys I just applied for the signing position in my store! How do you know what needs to get done? Do you have any advice to stay ahead?

that's a great question - and i'm sure a lot of people on here could chime in and help you - but wouldn't it be better to start a new topic for it? has anyone started a guide for it? in this thread you're going to have to sift through a lot of questions and answers coming in for completely unrelated things that are about the current sets going on.
this is gonna sound stupid, but i can't seem to find a "create a thread" button.
ps - what did you guys do with all the fixtures that came in for softlines? between the Men's set where we got like an entire pallet of shoulder hang bars, and then all the new stuff that came with the new table sets in RTW/Men's/Performance i have an entire pallet left AFTER all the tables have been built. I told the SL team to toss old fixtures that were bent and broken and cycle in the new ones, but that didn't happen at all. do you guys make them get rid of all the new stuff (either palletize and put up, or fixture room it) or do you just do it yourself? i would have to clear an entire vertical section in the fixture room, unbox/detrash everything and then put it all up, and i just don't have time for it.
I combined it all onto one pallet and put it up on the steel in the fixture room. Left them in the box so they stack better.
I am a hard lines team leader with no signing tm. The shops overheads I can't seem to find. What is the box or boxes labeled?!
What the heck is that pallet of squared shoulder hang bars for?? Its been sitting them and I don't have a clue......
in the past i would have done the same but our STL is of the mindset that there shouldn't really be any palletized fixtures ("if we're not using them, we don't need them").
what would everyone here say should be on the "keep" list for palletized shelving?
14" riser shelves
the chrome baskets that come on and off plano
shoe baskets
what else? but by what else i mean, what is "essential". we have others that we hold onto but may have to get rid of like game cases, softlines shelves, shoe shelves, 18" shelves (not too many), one new shipment of 20" that came after our home innovation remodel, mixed misc (extra new euro baskets, holiday bow bins, sometimes the ball bin fixtures since they never come in on time, backpack hooks, new sidecaps.).
My STL said put it up cause I am not there on Sunday to do it. Last time I came in to do the shops, but we are working overnight next week. So, I put all the OH signing up today.
Each shop, Odin of New York for example (Men's clothes), has a frame and a bar to hang from. They are specific to each shop. Thankfully each bar and frame have a label for what shop it belongs to instead of just a number.
Nothing too difficult.
<THIS!!!! LOL! Best advice ever!Never stop moving.
Signing is like being a shark, you stop moving you are going to die.
Actually you are more likely to be pecked to death by ducks, there is no end to the needy TM's, TL's and ETL's you will be dealing with.
I suggest a notebook to write things down because you will forget and it will come back to bite you.
The sharpie is your friend, mark your boxes in big letters with what they are (in better terms than what it says on the box) and when you want to do it (that will probably change but best guess).
Keep your stuff organized and hurt anyone who messes with it (seriously beat them, best them hard).
OK, you can't beat them but call them out on it.
The fixture room is going to be your bailiwick so make sure no one dumps and runs, shelves, baskets or carts.
Track them down and make sure they put the stuff away.
Whine, pout, cry if you have to, you won't be able to do your job if you have to fight to get your stuff every day.
