To maintain product stock levels effectively, I would first establish a routine for checking inventory and ensuring that products are rotated according to standards. By collaborating with retail managers, I can identify peak sales times and adjust the stock accordingly. Regular communication with the sales team will help us to effectively manage any unforeseen stock shortages.

If a manager expresses dissatisfaction with our product placement, I would listen attentively to their concerns and ask for specific feedback. Understanding their perspective is important.

In my previous role, I closely monitored competitors' product launches and promotional strategies. For instance, I analyzed their pricing changes and seasonal promotions, then compiled a report on how our products compared. This analysis helped our team adapt our strategies and provided valuable insights to our clients on possible adjustments we could make to retain market share.

Upon discovering damaged products during a store visit, I would immediately notify the appropriate Account Sales Manager for a pick-up or exchange. Beyond that, I would review how the damage occurred and suggest preventive measures. Ensuring product quality is crucial, and I always strive to minimize disruptions in our merchandising processes.

To ensure a positive customer experience, I prioritize engaging with customers as they browse. I make myself available to answer questions about our products and promote any ongoing promotions. Additionally, keeping the displays clean and organized reflects our brand positively and ensures that customers have easy access to the products they love.
