WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Master Puzzles Helping a bride find her wedding dress is like putting together a puzzle. Each piece of information she shares with you helps you get closer to the perfect wedding dress. And when she says “yes” you will get emotional with her because you are so honored to have helped her find it.

• Solve Problems You consistently strive to make sure all brides leave knowing everything is taken care of and any challenges that may have arisen she can trust that you will resolve.

• Sell You consistently meet and exceed sales goals and enjoy the challenge.

YOU MAY BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU

• Question & Truly Listen You ask insightful questions and listen between the lines. You are able to hear what is being said, and what is not being said.

• Never Give Up You never give up on a bride. You listen to her objections and learn from them. You are tenacious in finding her perfect dress.

• Are Caring You genuinely care about the bride. You empathize with her wedding story and help make shopping easy (and fun) for her and her guests.

• Get Along Well with Others You have a good sense of humor and a natural ability to get along easily with various personalities.

• Find Solutions When things don't go quite right, you possess the confidence and experience to professionally navigate the situation and help the bride find a solution without management intervening.

• Are Confident You stay poised and professional even in complex situations.

• Take Ownership You are a self-starter who works independently as well as steps in to help fellow team members. You admit mistakes without making excuses.

• Are Comfortable on Your Feet You are comfortable on your feet for long periods of time, frequently lifting up to 35 lbs.
