Part-Time Bicycle Retail Technical Sales
About The Position
Our family of stores includes Atlanta Cycling, Trek Tennessee, and Trek South Carolina. We believe the bicycle is a simple solution to many of the world's most complex problems - from climate change to traffic congestion, physical and mental health, and more. That's why we're committed to Building Better Cyclists and using bikes as a force of good for our planet and every person on it. Improving our communities by changing the way people experience cycling is one of our core values. If you feel the same way, apply to join our team today! Whether you're helping someone find their first bike or tuning up a ride for an epic journey, we’re in the business of creating lasting memories. As a SALES SUPPORT SPECIALIST at our Chattanooga store, you'll be at the heart of it all, helping people experience the joy of cycling. Beyond the typical in-store retail sales role, this position will give you the opportunity to engage at a deeper, more technical level to promote and sell our products by knowing and demonstrating the benefits to individual customers. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the latest innovations in the cycling industry, offer thoughtful recommendations to customers, and build lasting relationships with riders in your community. The pace is fast, our customers are passionate, and a collaborative, customer-focused mindset is essential. We prioritize hospitality skills and are more interested in your eagerness to learn than in what you already know. If you're a bike expert, fantastic! If not, we provide comprehensive training. What matters most is your ability to understand customer needs and deliver exceptional service.
