Sales Associate

Maintaining a constant presence on the sales floor I greeted and addressed customers to asses their buying preferences or occasion. With this information, I would recommend appropriate items and bring corresponding selections to their fitting rooms. Along with this, I would assist customers in fitting rooms by finding appropriate sizes, suggesting alternative styles, and engaging with the customers in order to complete purchases and ensure their overall experience was exceptional. Adapting to meet our daily sales target I was awarded employee of the month with a 222% sales efficiency rate.

Assistant Interior Designer | Project Based

Focusing on de-cluttering, organizing, and staging I worked diligently to enhance the overall presentation of homes and commercial spaces such as a new environmental company. Working both collaboratively and independently throughout different sections of homes we maximized our efficiency and time. Displaying an amiable demeanour while engaging with our clientele we sought to enhance the overall experience and encourage prospective cliental. Making use of elements homeowners already owned, as well as sourcing decorations to be purchased, I worked to enrich the space. Along with this, I assisted in packing and unpacking homes as customers relocated homes.
