  • Processed customer transactions efficiently using lightspeed.
  • Assisted in stocking shelves and organizing merchandise for easy access.
  • Built relationships with customers to encourage repeat business.
  • Assisted customers in selecting bicycles and accessories based on individual needs.
  • Educated customers on proper bike care and safety measures during purchases.
  • Demonstrated strong product knowledge, educating customers on various bike models, features, and proper usage techniques.

Something to note: In the peak of summer I was selling upwards of 10 bikes per day (New & Used). I would size to the best of my trained ability taking account what was best for the customer's needs (budget, size, and type of bicycle they were interested in).

I did this by establishing a mutual passion for biking; making my intentions clear that my help was not sales focused but rather a knowledgeable support to help make the right choice. Sometimes that meant not making the sale but allowed for the building of customer trust.
