Job description

Sales Consultant

Hours:

Contract Type: Permanent

Salary: £12,698.40 with on target earnings of £18,000 (the amount you’ll potentially earn with your commission)

Location: Basingstoke

If you ask anyone who works for Bensons what they love most about working here, it’s the people! We want all our colleagues to feel like they’re getting out of the right side of the bed every morning!

As a Sales Consultant in our (Location) Store, your product knowledge and natural ability to engage with customers and advise them on sleep wellness will help them find the right sleep products for their needs to give them a perfect night’s sleep every night with the help of our unique sleepPRO technology! We’ll make sure that you’re fully trained and supported to do all this and to understand how we get things done in the right way – we want to set you up for success, so you can hit the ground running.

We want our stores to be somewhere our teams can be proud and to show off our products, so you and your colleagues will need to get stuck in, move product around, and keep the store clean and tidy so there are no monsters under the beds!

Our customers come in when they’re free to shop, so we’re talking evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. This is where you’ll have the opportunity to experience our fantastic, uncapped commission structure, so it’ll be essential for you to be available to take those opportunities. We understand that you have a life outside the shop floor, so we’ll ensure that you get some days back – but there’s also overtime if you want it.

What we’re dreaming of seeing:

We’re looking for Sales Consultants who take pride in great customer service, so you and your customers can rest easy in the knowledge that you’re driven to meet your targets in the best way – by giving them what they need for the best night’s sleep. This will take a ‘can do’ attitude, and the ability to adapt your approach to establish their needs and ensure that your service is the mint on the pillow of their shopping experience.

Ideally, you’ll have worked in a customer-facing role previously and have confident communication skills, being able to spot sales opportunities and be resilient and resourceful when you need to be, daring to try new things to help your store succeed.

The best sleep is when we feel comfortable…

This is why we believe it’s only right that at Bensons for Beds you’ll be welcome to bring your authentic self to work. Some of us like a sprung mattress, others are all about the memory foam, but at the end of the day, we all want to feel comfortable, so we welcome all applications and treat them, and you, with respect.

The cool side of the pillow (our benefits):

We know you’ll work hard to contribute to your store’s performance, so as well as your base salary and OTE based on your target, there’s no upper limit to what you can earn beyond that. There’s also monthly store bonus potential when your store achieves its target! In addition, we offer:

• Health and Wellbeing: Medicash - cashback options for health and wellbeing services, access to Retail Trust services (guidance and support on retail issues, mental health, wellbeing & financial topics)

• Financial: Unum Income Protection - for peace of mind if you’re off work long term due to illness, pension scheme – provided by Legal & General

• Discounts: Employee discounts
