In a previous role helping with pop-up wellness events, I found that storytelling was one of the most effective sales tactics. Rather than just listing product features, I shared how I personally used the product, what I loved about it, and how it could benefit others in a realistic, relatable way. This helped build trust and sparked genuine interest. People respond to authenticity, so creating that connection made it easier to guide them toward a purchase without feeling pushy.

I’d tap into genuine enthusiasm—because I do love pickles! I’d start by sharing what makes Cleveland Kitchen’s pickles different: fresh, crunchy, packed with flavor, and fermented for gut health. Whether it’s highlighting a unique flavor or offering a quick sample, I’d connect with shoppers by asking fun, approachable questions like, “Are you a classic dill fan or something more bold?” Creating a light, interactive moment makes people more open to trying something new—and once they taste the quality, they’re usually hooked!

I stay organized by using a combination of digital tools and written to-do lists. I rely on apps like Google Calendar and Notion to set reminders, track deadlines, and prioritize tasks. When things are moving quickly, I break projects into smaller, manageable steps and check in with myself regularly to stay on track. Staying flexible but focused helps me keep everything running smoothly, even in fast-paced situations.
