Sales assistant

Smyths Toys Superstores
Gateshead
08.2022 - 10.2022

At my time as a sales assistant at Smyths Toys Superstores, I accumulated a wide range of skills and experience. While at this store, I engaged with customers and understood their needs so I could give them advice and tailored product recommendations. I maintained a thorough knowledge of the latest trending and popular toys and games to assist them on their shopping experience making sure they purchased everything they needed. I demonstrated products effectively on shelves by facing up leading too increased sales conversions, conducted click and collect orders in store and worked on tills so I could be trained and have experience on all shop floor areas. A huge part of this role was creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in the store as our customer demographic was children and younger people. I engaged with all customers from every age range and made sure I customised my greetings and service to cater for everyone.
