Exterior: appearance (at least not ugly), temperament (passable), good language skills, rich experience (cold reading skills, ice-breaking ability, psychological suggestion and mapping), brand-related knowledge, product industry-related knowledge.

Internally: store operation, simple public relations (such as fire inspection), sales forecast, personnel management, financial knowledge (for reporting).

In fact, removing appearances from the above conditions and enlarging knowledge are part of the requirements of senior executives' ability. Executives also need interpersonal relationship accumulation, good knowledge system, rich knowledge and experience in management field, and handy team. Ability and experience can be accumulated, and education is one of the ways to promote the transformation of experience and accelerate the improvement of ability. Senior management positions require high comprehensive quality and accumulated management experience, education, knowledge and contacts.

I guess, maybe as a store manager for one or two years, you can try to enter the marketing department of brand owners, carry out brand sales and marketing in combination with the actual needs of consumers, and speak with sales volume. This is the fast lane of the rise of grassroots.
