Over the past Ten years, I have worked as a Store Operation Manager at both target at Uniqlo. My experience at these companies taught me about the value that passionate customer service can bring not only to a brand’s image, but to the company’s bottom line as well.
If you ask my former managers about my performance, the first thing they would mention is my exceptional upselling techniques with which I was able to increase sales and retain customers.
