  City level manager

  As senior and lead vendor I helped customers choose products that best suit their unique tastes while providing excellent customer service at the point of sale. Merchandised products and maintained an inviting sales floor. Quickly resolved customer issues and complaints and expertly discussed the products features, merits, and quality. Additionally, as the lead and senior associate I trained and assisted the new associates as part of their on-boarding. I successfully drove the business in the region's largest stores/accounts with continuing sales increases. I have earned the reputation as being a leader in the business here in the Albuquerque market, especially at the Macy's of Coronado Center and Dillard's of Winrock Center stores. Show less
