Assistant Store Manager
Buckle
Fort Gratiot Township
03.2018 - 12.2018
I was responsible for opening and closing the store.
Watching over my team, and making sure everyone was doing what they are suppose to, and setting them up for success!
We all had a sales goal for each day to meet.
I had to check my business email and keep in contact with my district manager and let him know how our day was going!
I was also responsible for calling and setting up interviews as well as conducting the interview, as well as the hiring process.
Checking every morning if we had a truck coming in and how much stock we were getting so we could prepare and making room on the sales floor.
I was one of the top sales performers on the floor everyday I worked, which is something I am very proud of.
I always wanted to set a good example for my team.
If someone was having a hard time selling or a little to shy, I would have a coaching moment with them, and when the next guest walked in I would have them follow me and watch how I presented each product, so they got more familiar and more confident with each presentation.
