You’ll provide stellar customer engagement, leaving customers wowed with consistently top-notch experiences powered by your attentiveness and determination to deliver them the styles and brands they crave.
Elevate to Your Goal-Crushing Era: You’ll bring your best to each day; take accountability for your effort and its impact on Famous Footwear’s overall performance. You’ll review store performance and drive sales with purpose and urgency to achieve goals. Every shoe sale counts! As a ‘goal-getter’, you deliver clear, concise and timely communications to the entire store team and employ active listening to ensure understanding among teammates.
