Description
Sales Advisor
Do you have a passion for working with people? Are you based in the Paignton area?
Jewson, a leading building materials distributor in Northern Europe, is looking for a Sales Advisor who's as passionate about great service as we are to join our friendly team.
At Jewson, part of STARK Building Materials UK, we are looking for a Sales Advisor to join the friendly and supportive team at our branch in Paignton. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, providing expert advice, and helping customers find the right solutions for their projects.
Whether you have experience in a builders' merchant or come from a retail, trade, customer service or sales background, we would love to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Delivering outstanding service to trade and retail customers, both face-to-face and over the phone
Building strong customer relationships by understanding customer needs and recommending the right products and solutions
Identifying opportunities to upsell and cross-sell products and services
Processing customer orders accurately and ensuring they are fulfilled efficiently
Developing new customer accounts while maintaining existing and lapsed customer relationships
Work in other areas of the branch as and when needed
Working closely with suppliers and colleagues to deliver the best possible customer experience
Supporting stock control, merchandising, and maintaining a clean, safe, and organised branch
Following company policies and procedures, with a strong focus on health and safety
Working Hours:
This is a part-time role working 27 hours a week (with additional hours to cover holidays, illness etc). Hours will be worked across Monday - Friday, and every other Saturday. Exact working patterns will be discussed at interview.
What We Are Looking For
Experience in a customer service or sales role
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
A positive attitude and a willingness to learn
Good IT skills and confidence using computer systems
The ability to work independently and as part of a team
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
A commitment to delivering an outstanding customer experience
Experience within a builders' merchant or knowledge of building materials would be an advantage, but it is not essential. If you have the right attitude and a passion for customer service, we will provide the training and support you need to succeed.
