Yaiza Smith
@yaizasmith
I convert customer needs into sales through multilingual consultative support.
What I'm looking for
I've built more than 10 years of customer-facing experience across premium fashion retail, hospitality, marketing support, and store leadership. At Sergent Major GmbH, I led a multicultural sales team, resolved client escalations, and used consultative conversations to drive purchases and upselling.
At G-Star R-Stores GmbH, I delivered tailored styling consultations, built long-term client relationships through follow-up, and consistently met and exceeded monthly sales targets.
Alongside this work, I supported A.S. Fit Professionals remotely by managing client communication, tracking leads and follow-ups, coordinating appointments, and optimizing Facebook Ads for lead generation.
I'm fluent in Spanish, German, and English, with intermediate Italian, and I'm preparing to return to part-time remote sales and customer-facing work with long-term commitment potential.
