Merchant Training Program As an MTP my duties include getting acquainted with the everyday policies and procedures at Bealls Outlet and to find areas of opportunity for change and growth. Throughout my training I learned the off price business model, what it takes to be a successful merchant, and how to establish my career in buying or planning. I learned all of these through a rotation set of experiences starting with; Store Operations where I spent about 3 months in stores analyzing our customer, how we present our product, when we receive our product, and many other day to day duties. 2nd in rotation was experience as a Merchandise Assistant where I spent about 5 months working with a buyer inputting orders, suggesting reorder buys, and being a liaison between vendors and buyers concerning price points, delivery dates, and receipt issues.
