Job description

Overview

This is a chance to join a family-run business near Newark where you\'ll only work Monday to Friday, start on a £28,000 basic salary, and after 3 months begin earning uncapped commission on top. No corporate red tape, no clock-watching — just a supportive team, great products, and a system that makes your job easier.

What\'s in it for you

• £28,000 basic + commission after 3 months
• Monday-Friday only - your weekends are yours
• A non-corporate, family-run environment where you\'re valued
• Full training & onboarding to set you up for success
• A smart call-back and lead management system that automates follow-ups so you can focus on selling
• Work closely with the product development team and become a genuine product expert

What you\'ll actually be doing

• Speaking to trade and retail customers on the phone, following up warm leads, and converting sales
• Matching customers to the right products (think timber, sheds, decking, fencing, outdoor living, home improvement)
• Spotting upsell opportunities and building strong, long-term customer relationships
• Handling admin like call notes, follow-ups, and scheduling through the company\'s state-of-the-art sales system
• Feeding customer insights back into the product team to help shape future ranges

Who this suits

• Someone with sales experience - whether that\'s trade counter, telesales, B2B, B2C, or home/garden product sales
• A go-getter with tenacity, energy, and drive - not afraid to pick up the phone and make things happen
• Confident, customer-focused, and motivated by commission
• Any background in timber, joinery, garden buildings, DIY, or home improvement products will give you a head start

This isn\'t just another sales job — it\'s the chance to join a growing business, get rewarded for your results, and work in a team that values initiative and drive over corporate box-ticking.
