Do you already walk into flooring shops for a living?
PlanIt builds software for the flooring trade: estimating, quoting, CRM and EPOS for independent flooring retailers and trade counters. It was built inside a working flooring shop in Southampton, and independent flooring businesses already use it every day.
Now we're hiring our first salesperson.
This isn't a typical software sales job. It works much like a flooring area sales manager's territory: building relationships, visiting shops and understanding how each business works. The difference is that you're selling the software that runs the shop, not the flooring on its racks.
What you'll do
- Build and manage your own territory of independent flooring retailers
- Demo PlanIt on the customer's own work: measure a room, price the job, produce the quote. No PowerPoint.
- Qualify honestly and take deals from first conversation through trial to paid subscription
- Get the customers you win up and running: catalogues, price lists, staff, VAT and hardware
- Train their teams and stay their named contact through the first 90 days
- Help shape the sales and onboarding process that future hires will follow
You'll typically spend 2–3 days a week in the field and the rest of the week demonstrating and onboarding remotely.
You'll bring
- At least 2 years' field sales experience with independent retailers or trade customers. Area Sales Managers and reps from flooring manufacturers or distributors would suit this well, as would people from merchant or trade-counter sales.
- A practical understanding of how a flooring shop or trade counter runs day to day
- Confidence with software, and patience with customers who don't have it
- The drive to run your own week
- A full UK driving licence
It's a bonus if you have existing retailer relationships in the region, EPOS or Xero/QuickBooks experience, or you've fitted floors or worked behind a trade counter.
The package
- Uncapped commission, £50,000–£55,000 OTE in year one
- Laptop, phone and demo EPOS kit
