Erin Bierl

As a retail sales representative for Kellanova, I have the opportunity to work with some of the most popular and innovative food brands in the world. In this role, I leverage my strong communication and leadership skills to establish and maintain positive relationships with store managers and staff. I work independently and efficiently, managing my time and tasks effectively. I am dependable, adaptable, and collaborative, always ready to support my team and overcome any challenges. I demonstrate courage and initiative daily pursuing new relationships and sales opportunities. As a SPOC team member for Meijer, I take pride in leading by example and inspiring my peers to challenge themselves in their roles. I share sales strategies, communicate effectively with all levels of the organization, and embrace challenges that go beyond my regular RSL duties. This role enables me to collaborate closely with a partner, exchanging insights and learning from each other.

As the Store Manager of Meijer 217 in Holland, MI I was responsible for sales growth, employee development, merchandising and display execution, ordering product, store conditions, developing strong relationships with Meijer management, and customer service within the store. This was a fast-paced and highly demanding position that required me to utilize problem solving skills while being adaptable, detail-oriented and and results-driven. I increased sales by 43% in my first year of these responsibilities. In 2008, I participated in a chain-wide contest, which involved increasing sales in a competitive and dynamic market. Out of 180 stores, I achieved the highest sales increase by dollar amount and by percentage of sales increase over the prior year. My store was regularly used as a bench mark for execution and success.
