Experience
Store Sales Specialist
Mar 2025 — Present · Amherst, NY, US
As a Store Sales Specialist at REI Co-op, I use active listening and my product knowledge to help customers choose the best gear for their outdoor adventures. Whether they’re travelling abroad, hiking the Adirondacks, or heading to the stadium to watch the game in less than ideal weather, I am here to help them #OptOutside with equipment and clothing suited to their needs.Utilizing the Co-op’s proprietary tech and apps, I maintain visual standards, bringing guided merchandising to life and adapting the floor set based on our store’s configuration and inventory.Beyond sales, I contribute to a collaborative and values-driven team culture that encourages authenticity, curiosity, and continuous learning. Combining ongoing REI Sales & Service training, Experience More’s comprehensive webinars, and study via our manufacturer’s websites, I stay current with outdoor trends, materials, and innovations to ensure I can speak knowledgeably and expertly about our products. This way, I can help our customers find the best solutions for their adventures while supporting REI’s broader mission to protect the planet and promote a life outdoors for all.
