Overview

From September 2020 to February 2021 I was a Member Service Associate at Costco Wholesale in Champaign, Illinois. I joined during the pre-opening launch phase, so part of the job was helping a new warehouse get ready to open and then run.

Member service was the core of the job. I worked with members directly and signed them up for Triple Play memberships and credit cards, and I ranked as a top seller of both during the launch. I also worked on inventory accuracy, monitoring inventory and resolving discrepancies.

What I did

  • Sold Triple Play memberships and credit card sign-ups through direct customer engagement.
  • Supported warehouse launch operations during the pre-opening phase.
  • Monitored inventory and resolved discrepancies.

Results

  • Ranked as a top seller of Triple Play memberships and credit card sign-ups during the pre-opening launch.
  • Grew membership sign-ups through direct, consultative customer engagement.
  • Improved inventory accuracy through monitoring and discrepancy resolution.
