Are you currently working in a builders' merchant, plumbing merchant, electrical wholesaler, civils supplier or trade counter environment?

Do you enjoy helping trade customers find the right solution, building long-term relationships, and being part of a small team where your contribution genuinely makes a difference?

We're looking for an experienced Trade Counter Sales Person to join our successful Fareham branch.

This is not a role where you'll be hidden behind a desk. You'll be at the heart of the branch, serving customers face-to-face, handling enquiries, driving sales growth and helping to keep the branch running smoothly. If you take pride in giving great advice and exceptional service, we'd like to hear from you.

As one of the key people in our branch, you'll be:

• Serving trade and retail customers at the counter, providing knowledgeable advice and excellent service.
• Building strong relationships with existing customers and developing new business opportunities.
• Handling customer enquiries by phone, email and in person.
• Processing quotes and orders accurately and efficiently.
• Identifying opportunities to upsell and promote products and branch initiatives.
• Supporting the day-to-day operation of the branch.
• Working closely with colleagues to ensure customers receive outstanding service every time they visit.

You'll be someone who:

• Enjoys dealing with customers and solving problems.
• Has confidence speaking with tradespeople and contractors in branch and on the phone.
• Understands the importance of product knowledge and customer relationships.
• Is commercially minded and enjoys identifying sales opportunities.
• Takes ownership and works well in a small team.

Our Fareham branch is a small, friendly and successful operation where every member of the team plays an important part. You'll have the opportunity to make a real impact, build lasting customer relationships and contribute directly to the branch's success.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who cares about delivering the same outstanding service to the last customer of the day as they do to the first.
