Sales Assistant
… a note from your future …
Dear Sales Assistant,
I know the word “sales” makes you cringe. Me too, and while that is technically what we do in this department, it never quite feels like the right word for it.
Yes, we have sales goals, ’cause this is a business after all, but we try to hit them by being awesome humans that #BuildAwesomeExperiences. If we’re not hitting them, we #BreatheCuriosity and figure out why, together. #CreateCommunity
Okay – what’s with the hashtags? Those are some of our Core Values, which I know you love to quote as much as we do, because around here we #EmbraceQuirky.
When we first met you, we knew right away you were cut from the same cloth. That adventurous curiosity, love of exploring, and desire to work smart so you can feed your life passions at the same time – it all lined up. Your slightly-geeky excitement in the interview when we asked you “what’s your favorite app/software” and your vivid story about how you felt when Slack changed their logo and how reading their blog post shifted your perspective. #CommunicateCompassion
In fall of 2019, when we finally decided to take the plunge and hire a Sales Assistant, we barely could have dreamed about how awesomely you would step up and #SeizeOwnership of the then-new role. We figured, at minimum we needed someone with a flexible schedule, who was solid and dependable, who we could toss 3-5 hours a week of miscellaneous sales support work to – like inputting all the job titles from email signatures into our customer database on HubSpot CRM (yeah, sorry that got backlogged…) or researching lists of interesting mid-size companies in LA that we might target as potential new team-building guests.
Little did we know that within the first quarter you’d already be covering for us with clients on days we’re out of office, fielding phone calls with style and that honest and authentic way you have of chatting with new people like you’ve known them for years, plowing through inboxes and Asana task-lists like a productivity machine!
We were so excited on your 6 month anniversary with us to offer you more hours and have you take on running LA private event sales! It was an easy “yes” when the leadership team got together to discuss it. Of course they can handle it! They’ve got the people-skills, creativity, critical listening and thinking chops, attention to detail, understanding of data and trends and they LOVE what we do! They GET IT. And they want to help our guests find an awesome culinary experience for their team that’ll be the best team-building they’ve ever done.
We can’t wait to have you in our weekly team meetings, brainstorming solves for issues, coordinating with the Product team about what our guests are looking for next, checking in with the Operations manager to make sure we’re on point with guest expectations, and bringing your awesome ideas to the table!
Looking forward,
Corinne
Director of Sales
