Some of the AM's I worked under the past 6 years or so were really not superstar sales people... What is the #1 driving qualifier from retail rep to AM?

@ag+1jtkbar1k Response was spoken like a true leader of the business but I would also take it with a grain of salt. Unfortunately these are the same leaders of the business that will promote their peers, or the reps slamming customers with the new flavor of the month.
drink the kool aid, take the lashing and ask for more.
You gotta show you have the ability to influence others, take ownership, and lead from the front.
Be a do-er and not a complainer.
To become an assistant manager you have to really kiss the behind and act all fake and pretend you love the company. Usually the top earners and best sales reps stay in their roles because there isnt an incentive to become manager
Be proactive in going above and beyond. Don’t be a rep that has a negative attitude and puts forth little effort. The be an effective ASM you do need to be good at sales to help support your team. Find ways to drive results in your store through initiatives. Don’t be scared to go outside of your comfort zone in coaching your peers. Ask your leadership team what you can do or let them know of ideas you have to help drive results in opportunities so that you can speak to that in an interview. Also, you have to have a strong personality and be a go- getter. Make things happen and don’t wait around for it. You can communicate your interest in promoting but if you aren’t that good in your current role you probably won’t be able to convince anyone that you’d be good at helping others develop.
Try to see the business from a bigger perspective and understand how each individual has an impact on the performance of the store so you can understand how your actions will help the store succeed. Know the priorities and what it takes to get there.
This is a place to bi--h and complain.
