I would show them how to perform their job duties but ask that if they have seen any ways to improve the business to share them and we may adopt them.

I would explain that the success of the store would depend on them. I would explain that the amount of bonus, hours, wages, and benefits they receive will be offered on an individual level based upon individual achievement.
