I find products to sell, arrange the best way to sell them, whether that is drop shipping straight from a supplier, or, bringing the kit into my warehouse and shipping on our own term. Once all the admin work is done, I then ensure that the marketing of each product is amazing, by working very close with our in-house marketing team to ensure each product gets the exposure it deserves. Refurbished IT I have found that more often than not refurbished IT can be the best bet for some customers. If looks are not everything but performance and results are, then refurbished IT can be the way forward. I am always on the hunt for the very best refurbished products around, mainly focusing on Apple and Samsung.

After 3 months I was inducted into the 'People Of Excellence' course. Mingling on a regular basis with the senior sales advisors from various O2 stores in and around the area in order to collaborate ideas and implement them into our stores. Due to naturally being interested in technology from a very early age I was actually used in store as a temporary 'O2 Guru' alongside being a sales advisor. Juggling my time equally between sales advisor and Guru was a challenge I thrived on. Whilst there I recieved numerous awards, including: Top Of Fan Feedback - December 2015 & January 2016 Overall Contribution in store - January 2016 (Voted by colleagues) Show less During my time at O2, I very quickly progressed from being the host of the store, booking in every customer for appointments and making sure I was on top of all appointments ensuring the store run as smoothly as possible, to one of the more senior sales advisors in store.

Provided various different demo's for all types of Apple products and gave demo's on Wacoms 22" Cintiq product using Photoshop as the tool. Additionally, I provided 1 to 1 tuition on Apple products to certain customers who required said training. I also dealt with any customer issues that arose, face to face and over the phone, improving my customer service ability every day with a new problem to figure out each day. Patience was a virtue whilst dealing with faulty iPhone cables. Show less I worked at Square for over two years and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
