What are the responsibilities and job description for the Bookseller position at Balin Books?
We are looking for a very special person who can grow the sales in our bookstore and return it to a profitable business. Skills needed include a deep knowledge of authors, book titles, and genres and the ability to engage with customers by sharing that knowledge thereby generating sales and customer satisfaction. In addition, sales growth will come from the optimal candidate’s ability to order, stock, and strategically display the titles that customers will be seeking, but also those that will intrigue the determined or casual browser. Increased engagement with the community through the development of additional contacts and relationships as well as successful events will be essential. The ability to produce an active and engaging social media program that can lead to additional book sales is a needed qualification for this job. Topmost is a passion for bookselling.
Wanted is someone who can throw themselves wholeheartedly into this endeavor and ultimately position themselves to become the new owner. After 50 years of active bookselling the owners are looking for someone willing to be hired to invest the effort to return the store to financial viability at which point the candidate might recognize the potential and consider purchasing the bookstore. Might that be you? We would love to talk!
