Home Office Sales Senior
-
Mar 2007 - Oct 2009
Sales associates are responsible for creating end to end solutions for customers to both ensure the customer gets everything they need as well as meeting store and company metrics to ensure profitability. As a non-commission employee, this centered on developing the unknown needs the customer may have and being able to explain the benefits of the products and services being offered. As the department senior, I also delegated tasks throughout the day, managed the department schedule, trained co-workers, and resolved customer issues through proper channels. Show less
