JOB OVERVIEW

ABOUT THE BUSINESS

Steve’s Warehouse Deals sells discounted furniture and household goods in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA. Customers collect purchases from our warehouse or arrange local delivery. We do not currently ship products.


Facebook
Marketplace is our main sales channel. We also use Facebook and Instagram to promote our inventory and are exploring additional local selling channels.

WHAT WE NEED

We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on person who can help us generate more qualified buyer inquiries, convert those inquiries into sales, and establish a simple, repeatable process.

We already have a dedicated virtual assistant handling content and platform setup. You will work alongside her, provide clear priorities, and train her to manage the processes independently.

The owner also needs your guidance. You should be comfortable recommending what to focus on, explaining why, and implementing improvements.

INITIAL PROJECT DELIVERABLES

We will agree on a realistic scope before starting. Priorities include:

• Review our existing listings, marketing and buyer inquiry process.
• Improve Facebook Marketplace titles, descriptions, photos and listing practices.
• Recommend and test additional channels suited to local furniture sales.
• Create practical buyer-response and follow-up templates.
• Establish simple tracking for inventory, inquiries, follow-ups and completed sales.
• Document the key processes and train our existing VA through hands-on sessions.
• Deliver a prioritized action plan for the following 60 days.

Our tools include Vendoo, PhotoRoom and Google Drive. We are also evaluating Metricool. You do not need to know every tool, but you should be comfortable learning them.

EXPERIENCE WE VALUE

• Direct Facebook Marketplace selling experience, ideally involving U.S. buyers and local pickup or delivery.
• Evidence of improving sales or buyer conversion.
• Experience training or supervising others.
• Strong organization, clear communication and practical problem-solving.
• Ability to take ownership while keeping the owner informed.

Furniture or liquidation resale experience would be helpful. If your background is mainly in shipping-based e-commerce, explain how it would apply to our local sales model.

HOW TO APPLY

Please answer the following questions directly. Brief, specific answers are preferred over a general introduction.

Describe your Facebook Marketplace experience. What products did you sell, in which market, and what responsibilities did you personally handle?

Give one example of a sales improvement you achieved. Include the timeframe, before-and-after results where available, and what you changed. If you do not have reliable figures, explain that honestly.

Describe someone or a team you trained. What did you teach, how did you teach it, and what could they do independently afterward?

Based on this job description, what would your first three priorities be, and why?

What deliverables and approximate working hours could you offer?

Confirm your availability, earliest start date and available overlap with U.S. Eastern Time. If you are also interested in ongoing work, include your expected hourly or monthly compensation.

Include one or two relevant work examples, with confidential client information removed.

We value honest answers, sound judgment and evidence that you understand our business. We are looking for someone who can help build the operation and leave our team better equipped to run it.
