Are you great with people, enjoy providing excellent customer service and looking for a role where you can build a long-term career?
I’m recruiting on behalf of a successful, family-run, employee-owned business in Newton Abbot, and they’re looking for a friendly, confident and customer-focused Showroom Sales Executive to join their team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with customers, building relationships and learning about products. You don’t need to come from a traditional sales background — you could be working in customer service, a showroom, sales or an office-based role. What matters most is your approach to customers, communication skills and willingness to learn.
Why you might love this role
- £27,500 – £30,000 per annum, depending on experience
- Profit share, with bonuses paid twice a year
- Private medical insurance
- 20 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
- Saturday overtime paid at time and a third
- Full training and ongoing support
- Career development opportunities
- On-site parking
- A friendly, open and collaborative working environment
- The opportunity to join an employee-owned business where people share in its success
About the role
As Showroom Sales Executive, you’ll be a key point of contact for customers, helping them find the right products and options for their projects.
You’ll work with a mix of retail and trade customers, including kitchen studios, builders and developers. Your day will be varied, with plenty of customer contact and the opportunity to develop strong, long-term relationships.
You’ll be involved in:
- Welcoming customers into the showroom
- Handling enquiries by phone and email
- Preparing quotes and estimates
- Advising customers on products, colours, finishes and options
- Reading simple plans, layouts and measurements
- Arranging bookings for templates and installations
- Following up outstanding estimates
- Keeping customer information up to date on the CRM
- Building strong relationships with customers and trade partners
What are they looking for?
You might currently be working in:
- Customer service
- Showroom sales
- Sales
- Office administration
- An office-based customer-facing role
Previous experience in a similar role would be useful, but personality, customer service and communication skills are more important than having direct industry experience.
You’ll ideally be:
- Friendly, confident and approachable
- Comfortable speaking to customers face-to-face and over the phone
- Naturally customer-focused
- Organised and detail-oriented
- Comfortable using computers and Microsoft Office
- Confident preparing quotes or estimates, or willing to learn
- Interested in developing your product knowledge
- Keen to build a long-term career
Hours
Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.
For the first few months, there will be no Saturday working while you learn the role and become confident. Once fully trained, the role will move to a one-in-four Saturday rota, working 8:00 am – 12:00 pm and paid at time and a third. There will also be flexibility to cover an occasional additional Saturday when required.
