You communicate effectively with customers and internal teams, quickly addressing needs or concerns, and finding solutions that support both service excellence and business growth. Sales & Upselling Mindset: You identify opportunities to introduce new garments, products and services that benefit the customer, driving additional revenue while enhancing the value you provide. You approach upselling as a way to strengthen customer relationships, ensuring their needs are met with the right solutions at the right time. Why You’ll Enjoy This Role Consistent Customer Connections: Service the same set of customers on your dedicated route, building trust and strong, long‑term relationships. Earning from Day One: This is a commissioned role from your first day in the field, with your income growing as you expand and upsell your route.
