I have been in the retail industry for eight years and have performed all key responsibilities diligently and accurately. I have mastered the art of store-keeping perfectly. I can handle complete administrative duties, bookkeeping, promotion activities, site maintenance, and staff management.
I have a leadership flair and have supervised a staff ranging in numbers from 20 to 70. In these many years, I have hired and fired hundreds of employees. I have also been conducting training for staff and taught them how to deal with customers, attend their needs and solve their queries, maintain cleanliness inside the store, display products in an attractive fashion on the shelves, etc.
Taking inventory and keeping correct records of goods on the shelves and inside the store are my specialty. I never allow any product in demand to go out of stock, unless a delay occurs through the manufacturer's side. I set sales goals and motivate the store team to achieve it. I have also increased the database of suppliers and negotiated prices in the interest of the store. I would like to use all these experiences for your store.
