What You’ll Be Doing
As a Branch Operations Manager, you'll be all about making connections, hitting sales targets, and building killer customer relationships. You’ll team up with clients (and sometimes the branch) to craft business plans that keep things moving. You’ll be a whiz with pricing, reports, and CRM tools to stay on top of it all. Your goal? Hit those sales and profit targets while offering a standout deal to every customer. When issues pop up—whether it’s pricing, payments, or service—you’ll jump in and solve them fast. You won’t manage the team (that’s up to the Branch Manager), but you’ll make sure everyone’s working together to get things done!
