OAK HARBOR, Wash., Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cellular Sales, the largest independent Verizon Wireless retailer by volume, announces their expansion in Washington with a new store in Oak Harbor. Over the next year, the store is expected to add new jobs within the local community.
On November 9, the store located at 31370 SR 20 welcomed its first customers. This is Cellular Sales' 12th store in Washington and their first store in Oak Harbor.
The store took over the O'Reilly Auto Parts building and will be completed in two phases. The first phase, featuring a 1,000 square-foot show room, is now completed, allowing Cellular Sales' Oak Harbor store to be open for business and serve customers during the holiday season. Phase two will be completed the end of March, providing an additional 3,000 square-feet.
"By opening our first Oak Harbor store, we hope to better serve our customers in the area," said Cellular Sales Regional Director Kris Cline. "We enjoy getting to work with our customers face-to-face and look forward to the opportunity to do that in Oak Harbor."
The store currently employs six team members with plans to add at least 15 new team members as the store continues to grow over the next six months.
Cellular Sales has grown significantly over the past 25 years, namely because of their innovative approach to customer service. It has been named to Inc. Magazine's 5000 list of the fastest growing companies nine times, achieving Hall of Fame status.
Over a period of four to six weeks, Cellular Sales' recruits are trained with senior sales reps, before selling on their own, to ensure that new team members are equipped with the best possible tools for success. Team members are encouraged to view themselves as entrepreneurs with the support of an established, successful company backing them up.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects demand for retail sales jobs to grow over the next decade and sales experience will be valuable. Cellular Sales understands the value of great training and support from a personal and professional development point of view.
"We take pride in our teams here at Cellular Sales and work hard to make sure they are the best of the best," said Cellular Sales Regional Director Jim Martin. "We know that our customers deserve the best customer service possible and we are excited to offer that at our new Oak Harbor store."
Cellular Sales seeks to hire individuals with a passion for customer service to work at its SR 20 store in Oak Harbor. Those interested in applying for jobs at this Cellular Sales location may contact Cellular Sales Recruiter Jon Snelson at (443) 465-0610 or jon.snelson(at)cellularsales.com.
