@keanaalves
Remote Sales Development Representative transitioning from hospitality sales, where I upsold menu items and drinks and built a loyal customer base.
What I'm looking for
At Mulligans Irish Pub and Eatery, I was promoted from waitress to Junior Manageress and led shift teams during busy service and events. I upsold drinks and menu items, managed stock and inventory, and used the GAAP point-of-sale system.
At Waxy O'Connor's, I built a loyal customer base through guest-focused service and knowledge of the drinks and menu. I'm now moving into remote sales and sales development, bringing face-to-face sales, upselling, and customer service experience.
