Touchstone Gallery in Downtown Santa Fe - Natural Art Advisor
Touchstone Gallery specializes in providing high-end fossil, minerals and designer jewelry to our customers to enjoy in their homes, offices and personal collections. Our owners have been in the fossil and mineral business for over 20 years and are proud to offer some of the best natural art available. Our pieces are acquired through reputable sources by working with valued and trusted vendors.
We are currently seeking one talented and energetic Art Advisor who is committed to sales and success to join our team! This is a permanent year-round full-time position offering an hourly rate plus commission. We offer paid parking downtown. It takes time and diligence to become successful. Please apply only if you are willing to commit long term and dedicate yourself to learning this exciting business.
The Natural Art Advisor is expected to understand and gain solid product knowledge to assist customers in their search for unique items. By building genuine rapport, the Natural Art Advisor will work closely with customers to determine their needs and preferences thereby ensuring maximum satisfaction with each transaction and beyond.
Our goal is to build and maintain client relationships extending well after the initial sale in the gallery. To that end, client outreach, prompt follow up and communication are extremely important. This is not simply a customer service role. It is a quality sales relationship where customers feel respected and engaged. Win-win transactions make for the best sales and long-term relationships.
To be successful as an Art Advisor, you will be expected to stay up to date with product features and maintain our store’s visual appearance to high standards. This position requires a confident professional who prides themselves in both personal appearance and gallery representation.
