sales trends, foot traffic patterns, competitive activity, inventory bottlenecks, and 
customer feedback. 
● Partner with client leadership and internal account teams during weekly and monthly 
business reviews to present actionable retail intelligence straight from the sales floor. 
● Leverage Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Slides) to maintain clean territory tracking 
sheets, dashboards, and executive updates. 

Retail Partner Alignment 
● Build and preserve strong working relationships with Best Buy General Managers 
(GMs), Assistant Store Managers (ASMs), and Experience Supervisors to secure prime 
product placement, associate cross-collaboration, and scheduling alignment.
