How I Spotlighted Beauty Brands to Win on the Sales Floor: As an experienced Beauty Account Manager, I have worked diligently to implement different activations to grow a brand’s retail sales. I developed strong relationships with customers, beauty advisors, key business executives and stakeholders. I’ve worked to identify new business opportunities by evaluating retail sales metrics followed by demographics, areas median income and staying connected to beauty trends. I also bring 10+years of retail sales beauty experience with both personal and professional awareness. I have recruited, trained, coached, motivated, and developed associates on procedures, product knowledge, and team/individual productivity goals. As a top selling specialist, I worked on the Sales & Education portfolio to train beauty team members on the “How to Sell” motto. I spearheaded quarterly beauty trainings/seminars for retailers Ulta Beauty, Sally Beauty, Walgreens and more. As an experienced “Retail Beauty Sales Scholar” and a lover of the beauty industry I have created my own training style to help internal and external team members be successful. I did weekly store visits where I educated, sold, and answered all questions from leadership, customers, and beauty advisors. Understanding the key drivers and conversion rate allowed me the ability to be successful. When hiring brand ambassadors and street team members I created digital assets and did continuous training sessions with my team. I prepared my team for in-store events, expos, and beauty pop-ups. Not everyone will start as a top-seller but teaching the fundamentals and hiring someone who has the genuine passion to succeed is key.

Maverick Sales loves FMCG. OTC. Beauty. And Durable goods. One of the formative experiences of my career was working at Philips. On the same day I could be selling baby bottles to Loblaws and $2000 coffee machines to Hudson Bay. That experience taught me how to understand what individual retailers are good at. The differences between categories are executional and financial, but the principles are the same. You win in sales through excellent execution of the tactics that make your brand an important part of the category story for your retail partners.

When brands listen 👏 In the name of new product development, Lucozade has announced their first-ever cross-category launch, ‘Blucozade’, which will hit the shelves at the end of February. Why is this so significant, you might ask? Lucozade recognised that consumers see the brand as one, not three sub-brands. So they listened… and ‘Blucozade’ was born. We’re all about understanding and listening to consumers to develop products that align with them. Whether you’re hiring or looking for a new role, you can trust TCN to understand, listen, and align with your needs. Just like Lucozade. #TheCollectiveNetwork #Recruitment #Lucozade #Blucozade #NewProductDevelopment #FMCGJobs
