Sales Executive - made-to-measure plantation shutters

Hybrid, home based Leeds, Wakefield, York, Harrogate, Doncaster and wider Yorkshire

High basic salary of 27,000 to 30,000, uncapped commission from the first order and on target earnings of 60,000+. Company car / car allowance.

The opportunity

I am recruiting a Sales Executive on behalf of my client, a Yorkshire business specialising in made-to-measure plantation shutters. The role offers a high basic salary and the genuine opportunity to earn a high OTE, with uncapped commission from the first order and a steady flow of warm appointments. For the right person, there is also the opportunity to build a long-term professional career and to discuss an equity share in the business.

About my client

My client designs, supplies and installs made-to-measure plantation shutters across Yorkshire. It is a small, close team: its own installers fit every job, and the office team looks after each customer from first enquiry to final fitting. Customers regularly mention the team by name in their reviews, and maintaining that reputation is central to how the business operates.

The role

Reporting to the Managing Director and working from home, you will visit homeowners across Yorkshire. Every appointment is a warm, pre-booked lead from an incoming enquiry, so your time is spent advising, surveying and measuring accurately, and quoting to close the sale, rather than on cold calling. Once an order is placed, you will hand the job to the office and installation team and remain the customer's main point of contact throughout.

Key responsibilities

- Attend pre-booked, warm home design appointments

- Survey and measure accurately, advise and quote to close the sale

- Follow up open quotes by phone and email

- Call past customers for referrals and repeat orders

- Build relationships with trade partners, such as interior designers and flooring companies, through the Trade Partner Programme

- Keep the CRM and diary up to date so that the office can plan surveys and installations

Working pattern

Hours are typically 8.30am to 4.30pm, with some evening or weekend appointments fitted around your schedule.

Career and equity opportunity

My client is looking for someone who wants more than a sales role: a person who wants to build a professional career and become involved in something great as the business grows. For the right person who wants it, there is the opportunity to discuss an equity share. Details would be shared and discussed at interview stage.
