Title: Retail Area Sales Manager - Beckley, WV
Location: West Virginia-Beckley
As someone who is passionate about inspiring success, you'll want to take a look at U.S. Cellular for your next career move.
At U.S. Cellular, we believe we can reach higher goals by focusing on the potential within our associates. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to demonstrate your passion for motivating others to excel as you direct the success of your market's sales leadership team. Your strong communication skills that develop leadership and inspire accountability within your teams will be critical to contributing to our company's business results. Your experience with business sales operations, which include marketing and sales plans, P&L management, strong written communication skills and other details of running a business will ensure you have what it takes to keep operations running smoothly. Your strong background in sales means you've experienced the same challenges and opportunities as your team, and you'll be able to offer them support that they'll value highly.
You'll gain an edge if you've completed an associate's degree, with a bachelor's degree preferred. We'll want to hear success stories from your five years of past sales experience - stories in which you've inspired your team to exceed their goals and turn in strong business results. While we feel that five years of experience will best prepare you for this role, you will still be considered if you have at least three years of experience - as long as two of those years were spent providing leadership for other managers.
We'll want to also hear about your experience while managing multiple retail locations, a sales territory or overseeing an entire retail store operation. We'll want to hear about how you've successfully developed strategies for managing a territory, including organizing and planning, with excellence. Past experience in wireless as well as retail will be helpful in this role, giving you a solid background that will help you ensure your sales teams understand our products and services and are equipped to serve our customers' needs with excellence. To be able to serve both our customers' and associates' needs, you will need to travel frequently, visiting locations within your market. In addition, you will travel to leadership events and meetings occasionally.
With your dedication to providing leadership that goes above and beyond for our associates and customers, you'll appreciate the values that make up our "Dynamic Organization," and be willing to go above and beyond to provide the inspiration your team of sales leaders need to ensure the best customer experience in their stores.
