I am a highly skilled retail manager who is extremely motivated to ensure the success of the business. I believe the best way to do this is to foster a positive environment for employees to feel comfortable improving their skills and constantly listen to customer feedback to ensure a positive customer experience. I'm ready for a change of pace and work an environment that suits my aesthetic. I am passionate about vintage clothing, horror, antiques, art, and curio.
I have played a major role in the success of three Uptown Cheapskate locations in the Richmond area. With this being a resale store, I have experience in purchasing and pricing second hand clothing. I have mastered this skill by recognizing name brands and have successfully trained many employees in this area.
Sales & Profitability:
I have contributed to the increase in sales and profitability by monitoring performance and implementing strategies to boost sales, such as team competitions, social media posts, and community connections.
I set realistic goals for revenue growth each month and monitor success through daily reporting.
Operational Efficiency:
I oversee the daily operations for three locations by identifying training opportunities, identifying store needs, and updating daily reports.
I manage inventory to ensure the stores remain at an optimal inventory level. I do this through transferring inventory from store to store, performing monthly mark downs, and identifying departments to restrict based on an overflow of inventory.
I perform monthly store layout changes to maximize the sales floor and increase sales.
I have experience organizing special events and sales on and off site, such as, setting up booths at the Richmond Tattoo Convention.
Customer Experience:
I manage the customer experience by monitoring and responding to all Google reviews and customer emails. I also deliver constant feedback to the team to ensure they are providing outstanding customer service.
Employment Retention and Development:
I create and implement training programs by identifying training needs, updating training documents as needed, and personally training all new hires.
I foster a positive and motivating culture for the team by identifying employees with potential and encouraging additional training and responsibilities. I encourage an environment of open and honest feedback in order to continue improving performance.
I have experience in scheduling for a large team. Working with their availability while also making sure the needs of the store are covered.
