As a Sales Consultant in your local store, your product knowledge and natural ability to engage with customers and advise them on Sleep wellness will help customers find the right sleep products for their needs, giving them that perfect night’s sleep every night with the help of our unique sleepPRO technology. We’ll provide full training and ongoing support so you understand how we do things the right way — we want to set you up for success so you can hit the ground running.
We want our stores to be a place our teams can be proud of, so you and your colleagues will get stuck in to help keep the store looking fresh and to keep your store clean and tidy.
Our customers shop when it suits them, so evenings, weekends and bank holidays are our peak trade hours. This is where you’ll have the opportunity to benefit from our fantastic, uncapped commission structure, so it’s essential that you’re available to work those hours. We understand you have a life outside beds, so we’ll ensure that you get equivalent time off for weekend shifts worked — there’s also overtime available at times.
What we’re dreaming of seeing:We’re looking for Sales Consultants who take pride in delivering great customer service, so customers can rest easy knowing you’re driven to meet your targets in the best way — by giving them what they need for the best night’s sleep. This requires a ‘can do’ attitude and the ability to adapt your approach to establish customer needs and ensure your service is the mint on the pillow of their shopping experience.
Ideally, you’ll have experience in a customer-facing role and confident communication skills, with the ability to spot sales opportunities and be resilient and resourceful when needed, daring to try new things to help your store succeed.
