    Ask Yourself These Questions

    Do you have sales confidence?

    Our clients want to learn from you, not just about the shoe, but what hydration system works and how to use a GPS watch. They appreciate learning about our products. . . what will make them faster, keep them running strong and injury free to how to eat while moving. You should be comfortable, confident and excited about suggesting gear that keeps our clients on the road.

    Are you willing to keep the store in tip-top shape?

    When it’s slow, there is plenty to do to keep RRC looking good and ready to run. Our first focus is the customer, so many times stocking and cleaning have to wait…trust us, it’s always there!

    Can you work with all walks of life, especially when they come in ALL AT ONCE?

    There will be times that you will be fitting two people with several people waiting. ALL of our clients deserve the same attention; from the pro-runner to the fitness enthusiast or the non-athlete that needs a shoe to fit an orthotic. Everyone expects the same level of attention and care and for you to be encouraging. RRC can be very busy, therefore at times stressful, but with the right attitude, no one should notice.

    Are you a team player?

    Ridgefield Running Company is like a family and we work in a tiny space that can be stressful when it is busy. Your teammates depend on you to be on time when your shift starts. All team members are expected to pull their own weight when it comes to working with customers and completing other tasks to make sure the store looks it’s best at all times.

    Are you willing to keep up to date on all products?

    RRC has new products coming in daily. It is critical that you take the time and interest to learn as much about our products so that educating our client is seamless.

    Do you pay attention to the little things?

    Retaining a client is number one for RRC.This means making your client feel special from the moment that they walk in the door to the time that you see them at a race. Once a client walks in the door, we want them to know that we are here to support their run.

    Are you a patient and a conversational person?

    RRC takes a very interactive approach. A team member must have a positive, friendly attitude no matter who walks in the door. The ability to take the time necessary for our clients is critical. If you have a hard time talking to strangers, our guess is that it will more difficult touching their feet and this may not be the job for you.

    Are you available on weekends?

    In the running business, weekends are critical. We understand if you have races, and with notice we can adjust. All employees are expected to work 4 weekend days a month.
