What We're Looking For

• A passion for customer service and creating a great customer experience

• Experience connecting with customers, whether through retail, hospitality, service, or sales
• Confidence in guiding decisions, including closing sales, navigating conversations, and overcoming objections in a helpful, respectful way
• Interest or experience in building relationships that drive repeat business (client relationship management)
• Comfort working toward goals, including sales quotas, KPIs, or other performance metrics
