About Our Client
Our client is a mattress and furniture retailer with a structured showroom sales process built around a rest-test consultation model, a prime and lease-to-own financing waterfall, and strong cross-sell pathways from the sleep floor to the furniture floor. The commission structure is margin-driven, the better you protect margin and build bundles, the higher your commission rate on every dollar of gross profit. This is a role for someone who takes pride in the sell, knows how to ask for the close, and wants a clear, scalable earning model.
What You Will Do
- Guide inbound appointments and showroom walk-ins through a sleep rest-test process to match them with the right mattress and adjustable base.
- Walk qualified mattress buyers to the furniture floor and cross-sell bedroom and living room packages.
- Present and explain financing options using the store's prime and lease-to-own waterfall systems.
- Work with the Store Sales Manager on take-overs to protect margins and close walk-outs.
- Build strong rapport with every client and deliver a consultative, professional showroom experience.
What We Are Looking For
- Minimum 1 year of sales experience required, mattress, furniture, automotive, or big-ticket retail experience strongly preferred.
- Bilingual candidates are a strong plus.
- Confident presenter who is comfortable discussing financing and asking for the close.
- Must be available to work weekends. Saturday and Sunday are peak traffic days.
- Professional demeanor with a competitive, self-motivated mindset.
- Strong ability to build rapport quickly and guide a customer through a consultative sales process.
