I am currently a Manager at the Solana Beach EWC location, previously was a GSA. I love working directly with guests and ensure that they have an amazing experience at EWC. I am very strong when it comes to communication and sales, I have a 62% pkg conversion percentage ( average is 15% ) and 44% in prebooking ( average is 20%). I believe in being very natural and highlighting the benefits of wax passes instead of being pushy/aggressive when it comes to selling packages, I am always hitting the 70-100 credit range every pay period which is around 35 packages in total. I am outgoing and friendly, and since I am the first face the guests see, I make sure each and every guest is welcomed and feels comfortable. I go out of my way to make sure EWC is clean and looks the best it can be, I am constantly cleaning if and when there is a gap in between services. I close for EWC, so making sure it looks presentable, organized and sparkling clean is something I strive for after every shift I work. I am a great multi-tasker, there is always a lot going on at once, checking guests in and out, greeting customers and answering the phone are only some of the tasks that are happening at the same time. I find the perfect balance to make sure I greet and welcome every guest that walks in the door without missing a phone call or making a guest wait to check out.
I am also a very helpful and supportive of the waxers as their days are packed with appointments and I do whatever I can to make sure they feel ready to go and prepared for their busy day. I am a huge helping hand and will take out the trash for waxers who are busy, turn on their wax pots incase they are running late, and overall give guests an unforgettable front desk experience so that all guests look forward to their next visit. Im a strong believer in connecting with guests on a personal level so they feel like they are more than just someone coming to get a service done. I was also individually recognized and received a Certificate of Appreciation for Relentless Customer Care on May 13th.
