And unlike many retail roles, you won't work late evenings - plus you'll enjoy three days off at Christmas. Oh, and did we mention? You'll earn commission on every sale you help makehappen. What you'll be doing Building long-standing relationships with regular trade and retail customers through a consultative sales approach. Asking the right questions to understand customer needs so you can confidently recommend the best products. Using your creativity to inspire customers with colour, style, layout and design ideas. Driving sales through expert product knowledge Confidently closing sales and maximising every opportunity No experience? No problem. You don't need to know anything about tiles - or even retail. If you're outgoing, friendly, energetic and don't mind lifting heavy boxes, we'll give you all the training you need, including developing your sales confidence and skills through our simple, customer-first sales framework. What's in it for you? Competitive basic salary Sales commission No evening work Christmas Eve and Boxing Day off Ongoing training, development and progression opportunities Generous Staff Discount Access to our Benefits platform with a wide range of discounts from 100s of retailers.

There's plenty about Topps Group that might surprise you. Like the fact that you don't need to be a DIY or tile expert to work in one of our stores or our Leicester based Support Centre. Or the fact that that we're Britain's largest specialist tile retailer, with more than 1,600 in-store specialists providing world class customer service to homeowners and tradespeople in over 300 stores nationwide.
