Verizon Retail Sales Associate role at a Verizon retail location. This is a full-time position with base pay and commission potential. The role emphasizes customer service, product knowledge, and sales growth within a store environment.

What you’ll be doing

• Generate retail sales by using your passion for cutting-edge technology and exceptional customer service to expand the Verizon network.
• Learn and uncover customers\' needs by creating connections and asking the right questions.
• Position product insights and solution recommendations to provide customers with a complete top-down sales solution.

You’ll need to have:

• One or more years of work experience
• Willingness to work evenings, weekends, and holidays (you'll know your schedule four weeks in advance)

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Experience working in a commission-based environment
