  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Each day its always a little different as I'm on the sales floor. The main thing that I do that doesn't change however is calling out and taking incoming calls. However what differs between days is things like Call out days which is days that vendors do and pay for prices all you have to do is what they ask at the beginning of the day. We also do a lot of training as we have so many Vendors to learn about.
