Job description

Uncapped commission | Monthly store bonus | Full training | Career progression

Love talking to people? Naturally good at building relationships? Want to be rewarded for the sales you make?

As a Sales Consultant at Bensons for Beds, you’ll have the opportunity to earn uncapped commission on every item you sell, alongside your base salary and target-based OTE. The more you sell, the more you can earn — there’s no ceiling on your earning potential.

This isn’t simply about selling beds. It’s about helping customers find the right products to improve their sleep and wellbeing.

Using your natural ability to connect with people, your product knowledge and our unique sleepPRO technology, you’ll understand each customer’s needs and recommend the right mattress, bed and sleep products to help them enjoy their perfect night’s sleep.

You don’t need to be a sleep expert from day one. We’ll provide the training, tools and support you need to build your knowledge, develop your confidence and succeed in your role.

What you’ll be doing:

• Welcome and engage with customers, creating a warm and memorable shopping experience




• Ask the right questions to understand customers’ sleep needs and recommend suitable products




• Use your product knowledge and sleepPRO technology to confidently advise customers




• Spot opportunities to maximise every sale, with the chance to earn commission from every item you sell




• Work towards individual and store targets while keeping customer experience at the heart of everything you do




• Help keep the store looking fresh, welcoming and ready for customers




• Support all aspects of running a successful store

Our busiest trading periods are when customers are free to shop, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Flexibility during these periods is therefore important.

We know you have a life outside Bensons too, so where you work weekends, we’ll make sure you get your days back during the week. There may also be opportunities to earn additional income through overtime.

Who we’re looking for:

We’re looking for people who genuinely enjoy helping customers and making a sale.

You’ll be confident speaking to different people, naturally curious about what they need and motivated by achieving great results. You’ll have a can-do attitude, be resilient when things don’t go to plan and be willing to try new approaches to help your store succeed.

Previous experience in a customer-facing or sales role would be beneficial, but we’re more interested in your attitude, personality and ambition than ticking every box.

If you enjoy working towards targets, love seeing the results of your hard work and want the opportunity to earn more through uncapped commission, we’d love to hear from you.

The best sleep is when we feel comfortable — and we think work should feel the same.

At Bensons for Beds, we want everyone to feel comfortable being themselves. Whether you’re a memory foam fan, a sprung mattress specialist or simply someone who loves helping people, we welcome your authentic self.

We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone is treated with respect and has the opportunity to succeed.

The cool side of the pillow – our benefits

We know you’ll work hard to contribute to your store’s success, so we want to make sure you’re rewarded for it.

Earn more:

• Uncapped commission on every item you sell




• Target-based OTE on top of your base salary




• Monthly store bonus when your store achieves its target




• No upper limit on your earning potential




• Overtime opportunities may be available

Great Bensons benefits:

• Up to 50% colleague discount




• 28 days' annual leave in year one, increasing with length of service




• Annual leave buy and sell scheme




• Enhanced maternity and adoption leave




• Pension scheme provided by Legal & General




• Group Life Assurance – 2x annual salary




• Group Income Protection, providing peace of mind if you’re off work long term due to illness

Health and wellbeing:

• Medicash – cashback options for a range of health and wellbeing services




• Access to Retail Trust, offering guidance and support around mental health, wellbeing, financial matters and retail-related issues

Your career:

• Full training and ongoing support




• Learning and development programmes to build your skills and product knowledge




• Opportunities to progress and develop your career within Bensons for Beds




• Access to internal career opportunities across the business

So, if you’re ready to turn your people skills into earning potential, help customers sleep better and build a career with a business that invests in you — we’d love to hear from you.

Come and make every sale count.
