Join one of Greater Manchester's leading independent carpet & flooring retailers

Urmston Carpets is looking for an enthusiastic and commercially minded Sales Advisor to join our established showroom team.

We are an independent, family-run flooring retailer with a large and busy showroom in Urmston, serving customers throughout Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire.

This isn't about standing behind a counter waiting for someone to tell you what they want.

We're looking for someone who enjoys talking to customers, understanding what they're trying to achieve and helping them choose the right flooring for their home – while recognising opportunities and confidently closing sales.

Why join us?

Working for a successful independent retailer is different.

You'll have the freedom to sell from a genuinely extensive range of products rather than being restricted to a small corporate range.

Our showroom includes everything from great-value carpets and flooring through to some of the best-known premium brands in the industry, including Westex, Ulster Carpets, Brockway, Crucial Trading, Cormar, Victoria Carpets and many more.

We also offer carpet, LVT, laminate and other flooring solutions, giving our sales team plenty of opportunity to match the right product to the right customer and budget.

You'll be joining an experienced team where good ideas are listened to, hard work is recognised and strong sales performance is rewarded.

What you'll be doing

You'll take responsibility for customers from their initial enquiry through to placing their order, including:

• Welcoming customers into the showroom and establishing exactly what they need
• Advising on carpets, flooring, underlay and associated products
• Helping customers choose suitable colours, styles and specifications
• Producing accurate quotations from measurements and plans
• Following up enquiries and quotations to convert opportunities into sales
• Building complete orders including flooring, underlay, accessories and fitting
• Developing excellent product knowledge across our extensive ranges
• Maintaining contact with customers throughout their buying journey
• Working with our estimators, administration team and fitters to deliver an excellent overall customer experience
• Contributing towards individual and showroom sales targets

Who we're looking for

Previous carpet or flooring experience would be a significant advantage, but we're equally interested in talented salespeople from other retail or home-improvement backgrounds.

You might currently work in flooring, furniture, beds, kitchens, bathrooms, home furnishings, electrical retail, automotive sales or another consultative sales environment.

More important to us is that you are:

• Naturally confident and comfortable speaking with customers
• Genuinely motivated by sales and earning commission
• Friendly and professional without being pushy
• Able to listen to customers and recommend products rather than simply take orders
• Commercially aware and able to recognise additional sales opportunities
• Comfortable working with measurements, quotations and figures
• Reliable, organised and able to follow enquiries through properly
• Someone who takes pride in providing excellent customer service
• A team player who also enjoys achieving individual sales results

Flooring experience?

If you already understand carpets, flooring, measuring, estimating or flooring specifications, we'd particularly like to hear from you.

If you don't, but you're a proven salesperson with the right attitude, we'll provide the product training you need.

What we offer

Competitive basic salary

Uncapped sales commission

Realistic OTE of £30,000–£40,000+ depending on experience and performance

Staff discount

Company pension

Full product and sales training

A huge choice of products and premium flooring brands to sell

A friendly, established independent business where you're treated as an individual rather than a number

Genuine opportunities to develop as the business continues to grow

About Urmston Carpets

We've built our business around a straightforward principle: great choice, knowledgeable advice, competitive prices and professional fitting backed by excellent customer service.

We're continuing to invest in our showroom, premium flooring brands and our growing choose-at-home service, and we're looking for another strong salesperson to become part of that growth.

Interested?

If you're already working in carpet or flooring sales and fancy a change – or you're a strong salesperson from another sector who thinks you'd be good at it – we'd like to hear from you.
