Sales Associate

• Jun 2011 - Jun 2012

Working for Blue Jeans and Bling was an amazing experience that offered me the opportunity to learn about building a new business from the ground up. I started as a home sales associate that quickly evolved into the opening of a small town boutique. I was able to travel directly to distributors to purchase inventory with the storeowners, run the storefront, and work directly with clients to build an inventory that was detailed just for the individual.
