The Opportunity:
We are recruiting for a well-established and growing business specialising in high-quality, bespoke fitted furniture and interior solutions.
We're looking for someone who is passionate about sales, enjoys working with customers and has a natural flair for design. Whilst previous furniture or design experience would be advantageous, it's certainly not essential. Full training can be provided on the design software and technical aspects of the role. What's most important is your ability to build relationships, understand customer requirements and confidently convert enquiries into sales.
The Role:
Working from a welcoming showroom, you'll guide customers through the entire sales and design journey, from their initial enquiry through to the completion of their project. Your responsibilities will include: Welcoming customers into the showroom, understanding their requirements and presenting suitable furniture solutions.
- Conducting appointments at customers' homes to discuss ideas, take measurements and explore design possibilities.
- Creating bespoke furniture designs using SketchUp (full training can be provided).
- Preparing quotations, following up on enquiries and converting opportunities into sales.
- Building strong customer relationships and delivering an exceptional level of service.
- Working closely with the production team to ensure designs are delivered to the highest standard.
- Managing customer projects from initial consultation through to installation and completion.
The Ideal Applicant:
We're particularly interested in speaking with individuals who have experience in sales-led environments, such as kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, furniture, interiors or other consultative retail settings. As well as:
- Previous experience in a sales or customer-facing role, ideally within a showroom or retail environment.
- A confident, personable approach with excellent communication skills.
- Strong commercial awareness and a genuine enthusiasm for achieving sales targets.
- An interest in furniture, interiors or home improvement.
- Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
- A willingness to learn new design software and develop technical knowledge.
- A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (essential) for customer home visits.
- Experience using SketchUp or similar design software would be beneficial, but is not essential.
What's on Offer?
- Basic salary starting from £27,000 + commission.
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
- Company pension scheme.
- Free parking and access to an on-site gym.
- Cycle to work scheme and employee wellbeing benefits.
- Full training and ongoing development.
- A friendly, supportive working environment.
- The opportunity to join a growing business with an excellent reputation for quality and customer service.
