Talk about making the grade. For a college bookstore to be successful, it needs
people that can make a difference. By hiring top-notch talent and allowing
operational decisions to be made in-store, the staff at each bookstore has a
vested interest in meeting the needs of the students, faculty, and the community.
In addition to this, comprehensive training and a solid network of regional and
corporate support gives store managers and employees all the tools they need to
succeed and grow. Our Retail Manager Trainee program provides up to 12
months of hands-on training in the field covering all bookstore functions.
It's your store. You control the important decisions that lead to your store
exceeding budget for sales and profit. Manager duties include:
- Purchasing decisions from textbooks to apparel
- Hiring, developing and appraising staff
- Preparing annual budget plans for sales, expenses, margin and purchasing
- Building relationships with faculty and students to build loyalty
- Developing and executing fun marketing plans to build sales
- Monitoring customer service levels and working directly with customers
