- 28 days of holiday per annum, including Bank Holidays.
- a fully paid workplace pension scheme where our client will pay the full 8% contribution (post probation period). This equates to an annual saving of £617.70 per annum.
- significant staff discounts on completion of your probationary period.
- an opportunity where no formal qualifications are a necessity. Our client would look to develop you via in-house training, including manufacturer training in London, Norway etc.
- free parking in a very commutable central location in Dorchester.
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 highly 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 organised. You can expect to manage your sales ‘pipeline’, diary & time, reprioritise at short notice and be able set & achieve ‘SMART’ sales goals. You’ll be an expert in managing objections, demonstrating added value and closing deals.
- is flexible. Although our client has modern EPOS/CRM systems expect to process sales whilst sat on a sofa, bit old school & different eh!
- has a genuine self-belief and a positive demeanour.
- is a team player. You’ll collaborate closely with our client’s showroom team to smash your sales targets, don’t worry it’ll be worth your time as our client tends to double commission paid when the team wins!
