As a sales manager at American mattress I was in charge of completing daily paperwork and updating available stock. This job required intense customer interface and excellent communication skills. I determined customer’s eligibility for company discounts that were available. I updated POP as needed to reflect the current sale. Position required recording of customer data into our system for their receipt and warranty purposes. I handled sensitive information when customer applied for credit and I ran the applications through our lenders. With my previous knowledge of recruitment I was also asked to assist with recruitment of new staff. Organization was key in this position because I was required to keep records from the previous two years on hand in case of audit or problems. Book keeping, proficiency in email, and answering of company phones are some of the daily administrative tasks.
