At the Austin Visitor Center, I work to provide five-star customer service by providing a welcoming and warm environment for customers and coworkers alike. I pride myself in leading through example, to help our hardworking retail team through hearing and assessing their needs and concerns, conducting thorough training, offering helpful and encouraging feedback, providing support through customer and client communications, and organizing and setting clear and productive goals to help our team achieve daily success. Additionally, I assist our director with researching merchandise, meeting with sales representatives, setting monthly/weekly/daily sales goals, strategizing sale optimization, and analyzing market trends to make insightful buying decisions. Simultaneously, I also assist customers with purchasing, scheduling tours, providing overarching information on Austin events, history, and culture, while also acting as the mediator between tour companies and potential customers. Throughout the year I also organize with our company's store pop-ups and special events including screenings, fundraisers, and private events.
