Summary

With a strong background in sales and client relations, I excel at engaging customers, building trust, and guiding them toward confident purchasing decisions. At Bath & Body Works, I developed a keen ability to engage customers, upsell products, and create an enjoyable shopping experience. Additionally, as a receptionist and dental assistant, I played a crucial role in persuading patients to invest in their dental health by explaining treatment benefits and successfully scheduling appointments. My ability to build rapport, communicate effectively, and close sales makes me a strong candidate for this role.
