If you ask anyone who works for Bensons what they love most about working here, it’s the people! We want all our colleagues to feel like they’re getting out of the right side of the bed every morning!

As a
Sales Consultant in our York Store,
your product knowledge and
natural ability to engage with customers
and advise them on
Sleep wellness ™ will
help them find the right
sleep products for their needs
to give them a perfect night’s sleep every night with the help of
our unique sleepPRO™ technology! We’ll make sure that you’re fully trained and supported to do all this and
to understand
how we get things done in the right way – we want to set you up for
success, so you can hit the ground running.

We want our
stores to be somewhere our teams can be proud and to show off our products, so
you and your colleagues will need to get stuck in, move product around, and keep the store clean and tidy
so there are no monsters under the beds!

Our customers come in when they’re free to shop, so we’re talking evenings, weekends and bank holidays, this is where you’ll have the opportunity to experience our
fantastic, uncapped commission structure, so it’ll be essential for you to be available
to take
those opportunities. We understand
that you have a life outside the shop floor,
so we’ll ensure that you get some days, back – but there’s also overtime if you want it.

What we’re dreaming of seeing:

We’re looking for Sales Consultants
who take pride in great customer service, so you and your customers can rest easy in the knowledge that you’re driven to meet your targets in the best way – by giving them what they need for the best night’s sleep. This will take a ‘can do’ attitude,
and the ability to adapt your approach to establish their needs and ensure that your service is the mint on the pillow of their shopping experience.

Ideally, you’ll have worked in a customer facing role previously and have confident communication skills, being able to spot sales opportunities and be resilient and resourceful when you need to be, daring to try new things to help your store succeed.

The best sleep is when we feel comfortable…

This is why we
believe it’s only right that at Bensons for Beds you’ll be welcome to bring
your authentic self to work. Some of us like a sprung mattress, others are all about the memory foam, but at the end of the day we all want to feel comfortable, so we welcome all applications and treat them, and you with respect.

The cool side of the pillow (our benefits):

We know you’ll work hard to contribute your store’s performance,
so as well as your base salary
and OTE based on your target, there’s no upper limit to what you can earn beyond that. There’s also monthly store bonus potential when your store achieves its target! In addition, we offer:

• Health and Wellbeing:*Medicash- cashback options for Health and Wellbeing services,
