?? I LOVE To Hire Retail and Service Managers ??
I always give retail and service managers a leg up on their competition.
You should, too.
Why?
For me, it’s because they have been some of my very best hires throughout my career.
Here’s why they could be game changers for your business too:
??♂? They Have Unparalleled Work Ethic: Whether it's logging 20,000 steps during a busy weekend shift or rearranging store layouts at 2 AM, retail and service managers are accustomed to hard work. They thrive in environments that wear others out, showing relentless dedication and drive… and that’s in a business they don’t care about. Imagine doing it at a business they do!
?? They Are Masters of Conflict Resolution: Hearing 'MOD to the front, please' is their cue to step into action. Retail and service managers excel in de-escalating situations and turning tense moments into positive outcomes, a skill that's priceless in any business setting.
?? They Are Experienced Team Leaders: From the ground up, these managers have learned to navigate complex team dynamics, mentor emerging talent, and keep operations running smoothly under pressure. Their hands-on experience in leadership is both practical and invaluable.
?? They Are Quick Learners and Adaptable: Don't underestimate their capability to learn quickly and adapt to new industries. Retail and service managers often jump into varied situations, making them versatile and quick to adjust to new business challenges. Plus, think of how many new initiatives come rolling down “from corporate.” Exactly, it’s never ending change.
??? They Are Problem-Solving Pros: In retail and service, every day is marred with fires that need to be put out. These firefighters managers have developed sharp problem-solving skills, often improvising solutions on the fly, which makes them incredibly resourceful in a corporate environment.
?? They Are Great With Customers: Having worked directly with consumers, they understand customer needs and expectations better than anyone. This insight allows them to drive customer-focused strategies in any business, enhancing client satisfaction and loyalty.
From handling the toughest customers to leading large teams, retail and service managers bring resilience, versatility, and a host of other invaluable skills to the table.
Next time you're hiring, consider the powerhouse potential these professionals can bring to your business.
You won't regret it!
