Are you passionate about providing an exceptional customer centric service, tailored to each individual’s needs?

We are looking for individuals that not only have a passion for our brand, but for the socially responsible activities and initiatives that Crown actively engage in.

What You Can Expect From This Role

As a Sales Assistant you will work alongside the store team, collaboratively supporting our Store Manager, in delivering a sustainable and profitable sales growth for Crown Paints. A positive and motivated approach will be key when contributing to the store targets, driving innovative yet effective sales with our range of decorative paints and sundry items.

Our customer base varies from passing one-off customers through to builders and trades people who's business you need to develop and maintain. A key part of your role will be to identify potential new customers, establish positive relationships and open customer accounts regularly.

Who We Are Looking For

At Crown Paints, as part of our journey to excellence we always recruit based on four values that unite us all; Connecting to customers, Constantly challenging, Socially committed, Inspiring confidence.

We are looking for individuals who possess strong sales experience, ideally within a retail background, evidencing excellent customer service and competence in the delivery of sales targets. A full clean driving licence is essential as this CDC operates a delivery service and candidates are also required to have their leaving certificates.
