UPDATED....Help Wanted: Looking for a full time manager of an established coin store.

SethChandler

Hello Everyone,

I have recently acquired a coin store in San Francisco, and I need some help running it. Below is somewhat of a help wanted listing with more details:


I am looking for a full-time manager for one of the oldest coin stores in San Francisco.

The ideal candidate will have a background in numismatics and be interested in cultivating relationships both in the store and online. You should be passionate about coins and good with people.

I like the idea of fostering interest in younger people so it would also be great if you have a natural rapport with kids.

In the beginning, you will probably work mostly alone and occasionally with the owner. Our hope is to grow the business to the point where we can add some additional employees. We will work together to set up a marketing plan (website, advertising, local events, etc…) to increase traffic to the store. Over time we will work on creating an online presence and in the meantime will continue to list periodic eBay listings.

This is a great position for a self-starter who is ambitious and eager to help grow this established and respected business. There is certainly upside potential for the right person - commensurate with experience, growth and success.

If you are interested, simply send me a private message here on the forums.
Please tell me about why your interested and let your personality show.
I will be asking for references as part of the second round.

Thanks,

Seth

Now this is a first, and I like it!

Let's face it, there is no 'Coin Shop Help Wanted' forum.

Outstanding opportunity for someone who wants to get some great experience in this business and hobby.

I don't know of any better businessman and expert numismatist than Seth. As Laura would say, "Opportunity knocks loudly!"

That's really cool. I would throw my name in the hat if I didn't live three hours away. What shop is it?

Never put a sad face after the word SoCal Unless of course you are referring to LA

What a great job opportunity for someone. I just built an online coin business and my first (other) business has come back to life in a big way. My hands are full running two full time businesses .......

I sure hope that the salary level fits the cost of living in the Bay area. It is almost as expensive to live there as it is to live in N.Y.C.

Once you complete the acquisition of the store and are open for business let us know the name and address. I live in the Bay Area and would like to stop by to say hello, check out your shop and its inventory, supplies and books. Best of luck in your venture. Other forumites live in the Bay Area and greater No. Cal. region. I would expect that they also would like to stop by and check out your shop after you are up and running.
