Much like Sherlock Holmes or the Magic Mirror on the Wall, you’re the person others turn to when they’re in need of information. Mostly because you’ve got a knack for data collection, analysis, and interpretation, but also because you’re great at taking all that data and making it digestible. Organizing and collecting data is your thing, and a well-thought-out spreadsheet of consumption forecasts? Well, that’s your cup of tea! But you’re more than a data whiz. You’ve also got A+ communication skills because you’re a people-person through and through! This is why you’re able to confidently present new ideas, complex sales data, and accurately forecasted velocities to various teams and individuals. You’re that good!
We’re looking for a Sales Forecasting Manager to join our team, and if the above sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
To you, every day presents a new question, problem, or riddle—solvable only with a load of well-organized and thought-out data. This is why every morning when you wake up, you say, “Seize the data!”
“The extra mile” is a metric that you use for everything you do, and you go it every time. What’s more? You’re self-motivated and adaptable, too!
Your eye for detail is so good that people joke you’d find a needle in a haystack in minutes. Easy peasy, right?
You don’t just meet deadlines, you beat ‘em.
Whether it be Wordle, the NYT crossword, a Rubik’s Cube, or Tetris, you’re at the top of the leaderboard. Solving problems comes naturally to you!
You always say, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” And while you may or may not have taken that straight from a song you heard recently (or straight from Ben Franklin himself), it stands true! You’re always seven (Siete!) steps ahead because you have a Plan B, C, D, and Z in place.
“Mindful communication is good for the soul.” You’ve got this quote on a sticky note taped to your mirror, and you repeat it every morning for good measure.
