Sales Specialist
To greet customers, qualify in detail there needs and/or desires in order
to effectively offer Lowes products and services. Also in this position I
would train other associates in feature and benefits of products, teach
them to observe buying signals and aid them in closing the sale. I was also
selected to enter into a 5 week training program for Department Manager.
After completing the course I began to help with managing my department
although it was not required. I offered my services because the department
manager was stretched thin trying to manage other departments as well.
