Showroom Sales Consultant (Part-Time) – Wokingham
Wokingham Showroom | Part-Time | Sales & Bonus Based
The Opportunity
We are a long-established, family-run blinds and shutters business, and we’re looking for a sales-driven Showroom Consultant to join our Wokingham showroom.
This is not a passive retail role. It is a customer-facing sales position for someone who enjoys speaking with customers, understanding what they actually need, and recommending the right solution for their home.
You will be expected to hold mature, professional conversations, ask the right questions, recommend products that are genuinely suitable, and confidently help customers move towards an informed decision.
What This Role Really Involves
- Understanding what the customer is trying to achieve
- Asking effective questions before making a recommendation
- Recommending blinds or shutters that are genuinely fit for purpose
- Explaining options clearly, simply, and honestly
- Confidently asking for the sale when the solution is right
- Taking responsibility for both accuracy and customer experience
This role suits someone who enjoys advising, guiding, and closing — not someone who simply waits for the customer to make all the decisions alone.
Working Hours
- Part-time role, typically around 25 hours per week
- Core showroom hours with Saturday working required
- Some flexibility may be available for the right candidate
- Occasional visits to customers’ homes may be required as part of the role
Earnings
- Competitive hourly rate based on the Real Living Wage
- Performance-based sales bonus, paid monthly (in arrears)
- Five-Star Review Bonus, paid from day one
- £20 for every five-star review where you are personally named
- £10 for every four-star review where you are personally named
- Paid in the very next pay packet
- No cap on earnings
Strong performers can significantly increase their overall earnings through a combination of sales performance, accuracy, and excellent customer service.
What You’ll Be Doing
In the Showroom
- Welcoming customers and understanding their requirements
- Recommending suitable blinds or shutters
- Explaining options clearly and honestly
- Confidently asking for the sale
- Recording specifications accurately
Remote & Follow-Up Sales
- Responding to website chat enquiries
- Handling incoming phone calls
- Selling over the phone where appropriate
- Booking showroom, video, or home consultations
- Following up customers professionally to help move enquiries forward
Consultations & Visits
- Conducting video consultations
- Attending home consultations when required
- Measuring windows accurately for quoting
- Learning to place orders correctly on our systems
Accuracy & Professional Standards
Accuracy is essential in this role. You will be expected to:
- Use common sense when advising customers
- Ensure products will work properly in the customer’s space
- Follow child safety regulations 100% of the time
- Clearly explain safety requirements, payment terms, and realistic expectations
- Take responsibility for getting details right from the beginning
Refunds, complaints, or avoidable errors can affect bonus eligibility — so doing things properly is a key part of succeeding in this role.
What We’re Looking For
This role does require:
- A full, clean UK driving licence
- At least 3 years’ driving experience
- Previous sales experience in retail, showroom, or consultative sales
- Confidence holding professional, customer-led conversations
- The ability to ask good questions before recommending a product
- Strong attention to detail
- A practical, honest, customer-focused approach
- The confidence to guide a conversation towards a decision
Experience in blinds or shutters is not essential — full training is provided — but sales maturity, confidence, and willingness to learn are.
Why Join Us?
- Family-run business with clear values
- Honest sales environment
- Real performance rewards
- Strong emphasis on customer outcomes
- Clear expectations and support
- Opportunity to grow earnings through quality service, not pressure
