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 Basingstoke 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 places our teams can be proud of and to show off our products, so you and your colleagues will need to get involved, move products 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 this includes 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 you get some days back, but there’s also overtime if you want it.

What we’re looking for:

We’re seeking Sales Consultants who pride themselves on great customer service, so you and your customers can rest easy knowing you’re driven to meet your targets 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 their needs and ensure that 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.

The best sleep is when we feel comfortable…

This is why at Bensons for Beds, you’ll be welcome to bring your authentic self to work. Whether you prefer a sprung mattress or memory foam, we all want to feel comfortable, and we treat all applications with respect.

Our benefits include:

• Health and Wellbeing: Medicash cashback options, access to Retail Trust services
• Financial: Unum Income Protection, Pension scheme by Legal & General
• Discounts: Employee discounts on Bensons products, gym membership, Cycle to Work scheme
• Leave: Annual leave buy & sell scheme, enhanced maternity and adoption leave
