• Assistant Manager

  • Sep 2009 - Jan 2012

  I managed a team of 10 staff selling hair and beauty products directly to salons through the wholesaler. I adapted quickly to the role and put systems in place to make the shopping experience for the customer more efficient and friendly and also made sure staff always knew exactly what they were meant to be doing. By motivating and encouraging staff this helped us to achieve targets and also have us the drive to achieve fantastic results. Whilst I was there we won store of the year which hadnt been won by the store I worked in ever before. I also got a taste for being a rep on the road whilst I was here as I also went out a couple of times a week to sell directly to salons. Show less

• Account Manager

  • Aug 2008 - Aug 2009

  My role as Account manager was to manage the account, manage my part time staff member and to ensure all sales targets were hit. The account I took over was a new account in an existing store. I had to build the business up from scratch, this meant stopping customers at the door, organising events and proving to the customers why they should buy from me rather than my competitors. I achieved all of my sales targets whilst working for the brand in this role and also built up a regular loyal customer base. Show less

  This was my first job within the beauty industry. I was a part time member of staff in a team of three within a desirable department store. I achieved targets and realised that I wanted more and got promoted to account manager in another store. This was my first job within the beauty industry.
