The customer journey, repair costs, margins etc and I feel the more I learnt, the better I became in my role.Due to our stores very successful customer feedback from the Goldsmiths 'ACE' Card scheme as well as my own individual awards from customer stories, I was given the responsibility of looking after the CEX for Goldsmith stores in the South East of England. This allowed me to correlate information from store feed backs as well as offer guidance and tips to other store managers in 13 different locations on increasing customer praise.Aside from being an active seller of luxury/fashion timepieces and jewellery, my main daily responsibilities included:• Leading and motivating a team of 6 to increase sales and ensure efficiency whilst creating a luxury sales environment.• Interpreting sales figures and putting forward recommendations to drive the business.• Driving a high level of customer service, surpassing local competition.• Recruitment at key business times such as Christmas trading.• Conducting appraisals and performance reviews.• Communication of business initiatives and strategies through detailed emails and reports.• Much more...
