In this position at Amanda Wakeley within Harvey Nichols, I re-merchandised the shop floor in line with calendar events of the year to maximise the opportunity of sales. I alerted our clientele on upcoming sales events and promotions to drive footfall into the store. I completed daily/weekly figures to respond back to head office on our performance as well as giving report feedback on stock, competitors and promotions via reporting and conference calls. When the concession has recruited a new member of the team, I also was involved in supporting induction and the day to day training of staff. There was a period where I was running the concession in my managers absence and I liaised with agencies to organise temporary staff to ensure the department was always covered and completed rota’s.

At Wallis, I gave advice and guidance on product selection to customers, answering queries from customers, keeping up to date with special promotions and putting up displays, processing card and cash payments and I was involved in stock control and management.

I worked as a stylist over the busy festive period where I was advising customers on the products and benefits of purchasing and using Jo Malone products. I enjoyed interaction with the customers and was able to use the platform of giving them hand and arm massage to help sell the products as well as when I was on the boutique floor. I was involved in stock control and replenishment and helped keep the store clean and tidy. I was trained in gift wrapping and product presentation I equally had to present and conduct myself in a professional and friendly manner and perform to consistently high standards at all times to conform with the image of the Jo Malone brand.
