• Work toward individual and store sales targets and productivity goals while following sales and service standards.
• Learn and explain product features, benefits, fit, and available services.
• Build customer relationships through friendly, responsive service; resolve questions and concerns or escalates when appropriate.
• Process purchases, returns, and other transactions accurately using the Point-of-Sale (POS) system.
• Maintain organized product displays and store presentation.
• Receive, unpack, and organize shipments and inventory, and prepare and dispatch customer orders accurately and on time.
• Work with teammates to maintain a welcoming, organized, safe, and high-performing store.

What We're Looking For

• A sales-focused, solutions-oriented approach and a genuine interest in helping people.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced team environment.
