      Worked alongside the Support Experience Manager, I developed strategies to increase Genius Bar session availability, reduce customer wait times, and meet customer demand. I made sure that all services and repairs align with established procedures, and that Geniuses stay in sync with all AppleCare policies and procedures. I delivered feedback to Geniuses based on observing their sessions and reviewing Genius Room repairs and NetPromoter information. I addressed Genius customer service issues and work with management to make certain all customer concerns are addressed as quickly as possible. I led new training and initiatives associated with the services and repair business and provide training and feedback to store staff about Genius Bar operations. I identify training opportunities and build and support structured development for the Genius Bar Team. I collaborated with the Store Leader and Schedule Planner to oversee Genius Bar staffing and partner with the Support Experience Manager to ensure that the Genius team follows daily break and meal period policies. I led round-table discussions in partnership with Genius Bar Leadership and provide support for Genius interview tasks when requested by the Recruiting team. I stayed up to date on current promotions, store initiatives, policies, and procedures, assist with new store openings and maintain Apple standards at all times acknowledging customers promptly and following the APPLE Steps of Service.
