Sales Associate

Old Navy

I became an expert in the brand's selling behaviors while leveraging these behaviors with every customer who walked through the door, thus allowing me to provide a premium customer experience. I acknowledged and assisted customers, located merchandise efficiently using various methods, and answered questions quickly and accurately while offering style and outfit suggestions to the customer, utilizing mannequins and displays for inspiration. I promoted loyalty by educating customers about loyalty programs, leveraged channel offerings to deliver a frictionless customer experience, and supported the sales floor, fitting room, checkout, and back-of-house processes, as required. I provided courteous and responsive support to internal and external requests, exchanged, and verified job-related information.
