Sales Assistant

Leicester

£27,000 – £30,000

Monday–Friday 7.30–16.30

Looking for a role where you can build relationships, learn a trade, and actually enjoy coming to work?

We’re working with a well-established and growing distributor in the flooring and interiors sector who is looking for a friendly, proactive Sales Assistant to join their team.

This is more than just a counter role — you’ll be at the heart of the business, speaking with customers, handling enquiries, and helping drive sales in a fast‑paced, supportive environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Be the first point of contact for customers via phone, email, and the trade counter
• Respond to enquiries, process orders, and prepare quotes
• Offer product advice and recommend the best solutions
• Build strong relationships with trade customers and repeat clients
• Support with upselling and cross‑selling opportunities
• Keep customers updated on orders, delays, and deliveries
• Maintain a clean, organised, and well‑presented trade counter
• Work towards individual and team sales targets

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in retail, trade counter, or customer service
• Confident communicator with a friendly, can‑do attitude
• Someone who enjoys speaking to people and solving problems
• Basic IT skills (email, Office 365, order systems)
• Sales experience is a bonus — but attitude is everything
• Willingness to learn about products and build industry knowledge

What’s In It For You?

• Join a stable, growing business with a strong reputation
• Friendly team environment where you’re genuinely supported
• Opportunity to develop sales skills and product knowledge
• Varied role — no two days are the same
• Clear progression opportunities for the right person

Sound like you? If you enjoy working with people, thrive in a busy environment, and want to be part of a company where your contribution matters, we’d love to hear from you.
