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.
