Ashley Anderson

As a buyer for Madeleine's Daughter, I have been entrusted to cultivate an inventory that meets the needs of an ever-evolving Bridal industry.

• Analyze sales data and conduct industry research to efficiently order merchandise according to sales trends.
• Established procurement plans, including creating purchase orders, confirming costs, and maintaining vendor relationships.
• Research and evaluate market trends through online sources and customer feedback.
• Anticipate consumer buying patterns based on comprehensive analyses of customer demands, market prices and economic conditions.

As an Elite stylist, I am responsible for mentoring a team of eight sales consultants to increase the profitability, brand awareness, and the customer experience that Madeleine's Daughter is known for. I motivate our team achieve their goals through:

• Monitoring sales, closing ratio, and units per transactions of all consultants.
• Established weekly one-on-one mentoring sessions with consultants to overcome challenges and develop advanced sales tactics.
• Coached mentees to constantly exceed 65% closing ratio.
• Cultivating company culture that empowers and uplifts stylists to achieve their maximum potential.

For ten years I have guided my brides to comfortably make emotional and financial decisions while facilitating an incredible customer experience.

• Maintain a closing ratio of 70% or higher (at least 15% higher than industry standard).
• Generate an average of over $500,000 in sales annually, and have been instrumental in helping Madeleine's Daughter achieve our highest sales to date.
• Increase revenue via upselling and ancillary sales.
• Contribute to a highly accountable team to achieve and exceed store sales goals.
