I have direct sales experience through customer-facing roles where I was responsible for building relationships, understanding customer needs, and helping them find the right solution. Working in sales taught me how to communicate effectively, handle objections, follow up consistently, and create a positive customer experience that encourages long-term relationships. What attracts me to Couture is the opportunity to combine my sales background with my passion for marketing and branding. Merchandise is more than just a product—it’s a way for companies to build recognition, strengthen their culture, and connect with their audience. As a marketing student, I find that really exciting. I want to help Couture grow because I enjoy connecting with people, identifying opportunities, and representing brands I believe in. I’m someone who’s motivated by results, eager to learn, and willing to put in the work to build strong client relationships. I believe my sales experience, marketing knowledge, and enthusiasm for the brand would allow me to contribute to Couture’s continued growth

A student was interested in purchasing BPA merchandise but hadn’t completed their order. I followed up with them, answered questions about sizing and pricing, and explained the ordering deadline. After the conversation, they completed their purchase and encouraged a few friends to order as well. That experience showed me the importance of being proactive and making the buying process as easy as possible.

I would start by asking questions to understand what success looks like for the client. Are they focused on brand awareness, employee engagement, event giveaways, or generating revenue through merchandise? Once I understand their goals, I’d show how our products, service, and execution directly support those objectives. Rather than simply saying we’re better than competitors, I’d highlight our unique value—whether that’s higher-quality products, more creative branding options, faster turnaround times, stronger customer service, or a more seamless ordering experience. I’d also share examples of successful projects and measurable results we’ve delivered for similar clients. Ultimately, clients don’t just buy merchandise—they buy a solution to a problem. My goal would be to demonstrate that our team is the most reliable partner to help them achieve their goals.
