Still interested? In return for these excellent benefits our client is looking for a candidate who:
- is a great host. You’ll know what world class customer service looks like and will be motivated in developing relationships/making sales. You can expect to be driving furniture & ‘add-on’ sales whilst keeping customers up to date on lead times & delivery dates. You’ll manage the customer journey from initial enquiry through to post sale support.
- is an experienced salesperson or desperately wants to be one. An ability to demonstrate high levels of initiative & proactive sales successes, in any field/sector, will be highly valued by our client. You’ll be an expert in managing objections, demonstrating added value and closing deals.
- is organised. You can expect to manage your sales ‘pipeline’, diary/time & reprioritise at short notice.
- is flexible. Although our client has modern software expect to process sales whilst sat on a sofa!
- has a genuine self-belief and a positive demeanour.
- is a team player. You’ll collaborate closely with our client’s salesteam to smash your targets, don’t worry it’ll be worth your time as our client tends to double commission paid when the team wins!
