Job description

Hajoca Corporation is one of the country's largest privately-held wholesale distributors of plumbing, heating & cooling, and industrial supplies. Founded in 1858, Hajoca is a company based on the principles of "Service, Integrity, Reliability," and on relationships of trust and support with teammates, customers, and suppliers. Throughout its history, Hajoca has played an active role in shaping advances in plumbing. However, we attribute our success to two simple truths; a unique business philosophy and talented people. Hajoca is all about the people, who give us our advantage, and who will guide us successfully into the future.

Although Hajoca is a large company, we work in a decentralized environment where each of our locations, called Profit Centers (PCs), is run by the Profit Center Manager as if it were their own small business. A typical Profit Center is the heart of our business and consists of a warehouse, counter, sales office, and (sometimes) a showroom. Our PCs conduct business under unique trade names and offer a customized business approach, honoring what's special about each local marketplace.

Moore Supply Co. is one of those trade names and is looking for a Design and Sales Consultant at their Houston, TX location.

Pay for Design and Sales Consultant is between $18 and $22 per hour at this location.

• Sell and provide in-store and/or in-home design consultations for kitchen and bathrooms.
• Articulate your showroom value proposition to get your customer's attention, engage them, teach them, and show them the value you provide.
• Determine customer needs, direct them to the best products to address their needs, discover potential hurdles, and keep the sale moving forward.
• Build and maintain long-term customer relationships, creating referrals and repeat business.
• Develop and maintain knowledge of product lines and features.
• Leverage Hajoca technology to guide product selections, review product specifications, pricing, and availability.
• Use sales reports and sales forecasting tools to meet or exceed established sales targets.
• Follow-up on leads and generate new business.
• Enter sales orders and bids, expedite purchases, stay engaged with customers from the beginning to the end of projects.
