Do you love variety at work and having every day be different? Are you passionate about sales and customer service?

At Blue Moon Estate Sales, we pride ourselves in being the most friendly and helpful estate liquidators in the business. We search for individuals who are passionate about helping others and who want to share their passion with others.

We are seeking team members for part-time work during the week and/or weekends. We are seeking energetic, hardworking, quick learners to join our team.

In this position, you will assist in the operation of Blue Moon Estate Sales client sales. During the event, you should aim to be outgoing, friendly and approachable when on the floor. You need to have the mindset of a salesperson and excellent customer service agent as you are expected to interact with customers. Additionally, you’ll assist with re-staging items during the event to promote additional buying and aid in the flow of the sale.

Over time, you may be asked to act as a cashier at the sales event. Having quick and efficient cashiers is vital. The checkout area can become a bottleneck in the entire sale so experienced people will be delegated to providing those checking out with expert service. Good people skills, the ability to stay calm in stressful situations and a knack for numbers will be important.

During the week, you will be staging the house prior to the event. A knack for merchandising, organizing working quickly and efficiently is key. This is also a fun stage in our process as you never really know what treasure you may find. With that, honesty and integrity are a must as we always want to treat our clients' possessions with care and return any found personal items.

Toward the end of the week before a sale, you will be pricing items. Brand knowledge, being able to identify and pick out value, and attention to detail are a must. We have lots of tools and resources to make the process efficient and well researched, but a smart phone is a must.

Why join our team:

• Treated with respect and dignity
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• Supported in the field at sales
• Variety at work
• Flexible scheduling
• Great team environment

What you’ll be doing:

• Interact with customers during the sale
• Remove, sort and organize items throughout clients’ homes, including those in attics, basements, storage areas, etc.
• Place items in a logical manner throughout each home
• Stage items for display, thus creating a pop-up retail shop environment inside of each residence, in line with Stager’s direction
• Evaluate and place a price sticker or tag on each item or lot of items for sale
• Control crowds and keep customers out of specified areas
• Negotiate pricing during the sale in line with Field Manager’s direction
• If assigned, check customers out using our P.O.S. system and accurately input customer and item data into our P.O.S. system
• If assigned, be responsible for handling cash during the sale
• If assigned, balance registers before and after the sale

What we’re looking for:

• Ethical
• Patient
• Punctual
• Customer service oriented
• Comfortable with learning basic product pricing
• Take direction well and be efficient with processes
• Ability to work flexible hours and in a variety of locations

Locations will vary from week to week depending on the sizes of clients’ homes and the number of sales happening within two week periods.

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• Must have reliable transportation and smart phone
