Sales Consultant

at  Homebase

Homebase is looking for a Sales Consultant – Kitchens, Bathrooms, and Bedrooms to join our team permanently.
Salary: Starting at £23,280, however, this may be negotiable for candidates with prior sales experience and evidence of billings.
What you earn is down to you, as we offer uncapped commission, with a realistic on target earnings of £50,000 per year.
We say realistic because you’re not going to hit target in your first month: it may take you 2 – 3 to build up your customer base, learn about our product ranges, and get settled into the role. But once you are established there is no reason why you shouldn’t be earning £50,000 or even far, far more than this each year, like many of our sales consultants do!
Working Hours: Full Time, 5 days of 7, including regular weekends (part-time options may also be available depending upon individual circumstances)

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN OUR SALES CONSULTANT:

• Sales Experts: We are looking for a proven “closer” who can build strong relationships with our customers and sell them the best possible products.
• Confidence: You will spend a lot of time following up leads, and booking appointments, so you cannot be afraid to pick up the phone and speak to people you have never spoken to before.
• Creativity: You will use your flair for interior design, to create spectacular designs using CAD, that our customers will love!
• Self-Motivated: It’s the old cliché “You get out what you put into it”, but it really is true. If you think of your desk like it’s your own business, and treat it like so, you will find this to be a hugely rewarding role.

TO PUT IT SIMPLY THIS IS A HIGHLY TARGETED, SALES-FOCUSED POSITION, AND LIKE ALL SALES ROLES, IT IS HARD WORK AND WILL AT TIMES BE CHALLENGING. HOWEVER, IF YOU CAN KEEP MOTIVATED AND FOCUSED, IT CAN ALSO BE ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY REWARDED ROLES ACROSS THE WHOLE OF HOMEBASE.

Day to day, your main goal will be to offer our customers exceptional service by selling them a brand-new, kitchen, bathroom or bedroom from one of our fantastic ranges.
To do this, you will need to call customers to follow up on leads, arrange appointments, produce quotes, carry out home visits, and use your creativity and expert selling skills to ensure they leave with the best possible room solution for their homes.
Of course, you will have the support of your store manager, divisional sales manager, and our L&D teams, who will be on hand to offer training and guidance: but ultimately the responsibility for how well your desk performs falls on you.
