Merchandising for the store I monitored and maintained product displays with proper signage, promotional materials, price changes, and merchandise, so that the store maintains a cohesive look throughout. I took the initiative to spearhead all weekend, event sales signage, price changes, and promotional materials.Using my limited resources and creative skills I promoted sales events and highlighted products with artistic representations on Instagram at #couturejmetwinstoreart. Each day presented new challenges and I enjoyed facing those head on while also managing multiple projects while maintaining deadlines. Also positively approached daily customer interactions, answer questions, explain products or if necessary research information to guide customers to the right product. With a growing knowledge and passion of Washington, California, and Oregon wines and craft beers I do my best to help customers choose the product right for them.

Sales Manager and company representative for three major countertop sales accounts, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Direct Buy for all of Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Northern Oregon, and Montana; with a focus on all laminate and high end wood countertops. In this roll I appreciated the challenge of building relationships with all levels of management, designers, installation coordinators, and customer service representatives. I did this by maintaining accessibility to designers and management at all times during their working hours and consistent and positive communication and education. This in-turn created product confidence that reflected in successful promotions and store sponsored sales as well as a steady increase of countertop sales. Being well represented at in-store chain assigned events and promotions gave a personal touch that hit home for customer and designers. I was responsible for the coordination and overseeing of display updates and display change-outs which could last over a few months and required me to be organized and communicate well with all the parties involved. Lastly there is the supplier side of this job and that required me to maintain strong communication with them about current, new & discontinued products, and product options.
