Experience in furniture, appliances, automotive, flooring, kitchens, home improvement, or other consultative sales environments can translate well to this role. Interior design experience is welcome, but it is not required—we'll provide training in our products, materials, and furniture options.

• Competitive benefits package and paid time off.
• Employee discounts on EQ3 products.
• Product training and tools to support your success.
• Wellness programs and opportunities for professional development and career growth.

• Present relevant products and explain their features, quality, and customization options.
• Prepare accurate quotes, address questions and objections, and close sales.
• Follow up on inquiries and quotes to turn interest into purchases.
• Build a client base through ongoing relationships, repeat business, and referrals.
• Take ownership of your sales opportunities and meet or exceed individual targets.
• Maintain strong product knowledge and work with your team to deliver a positive customer experience.

What You Bring

• Experience in retail, consultative, or commission-based sales.
• A track record of achieving sales goals and following through on customer opportunities.
• Confidence explaining value, handling objections, and asking for the sale.
• Strong communication, organization, and customer relationship skills.
• Initiative, accountability, and motivation to grow your results.
• An interest in furniture and a willingness to learn.
• Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required.
