Sales Consultant in Manchester

About Us

Specialist Blinds is an established UK leader in premium shading solutions, working with luxury homeowners, architects, and interior designers. With over 30 years in the industry and a team of 70 professionals, we're known for precision, quality, and genuinely exceptional customer experiences. We're growing, and we're looking for the right people to grow with us.

Role Overview

This is a commission-based role. Commission-only is the standard structure across the specialist blinds and window covering industry. Our consultants are not cold calling, selling door to door, recruiting others, or buying into anything. They are visiting clients who have already expressed a genuine interest in our products, and they are being paid a genuine, transparent commission on every sale they make. The earning figures we quote — £65,000 to £100,000 — are what our consultants actually earn.

How The Lead Process Works

Our marketing team runs ongoing digital campaigns that generate a steady flow of enquiries from interested customers. Those enquiries are picked up by our customer service team, who qualify each lead and make contact with the customer. From there, the lead is passed to you — and you take it from there. You speak directly with the customer and book the appointment yourself, at a time that works for both of you.

The Role

This is a consultative sales position. You'll visit clients in their homes, or occasionally on project sites, understand their needs, and guide them through our range of premium blinds, fabrics, and smart automation solutions. You'll handle measurements and quotations, and see each project through with care.

What We Offer

• A consistent flow of qualified leads generated by our marketing team and handled by our customer service team before they reach you
• Full diary control — you book your own appointments and manage your own time
• Transparent commission structure with no hidden conditions or complex bonus schemes
• Realistic earnings of £55,000–£100,000 based on what our current consultants achieve
• Full technical training from day one — no industry experience required
• High-quality sales kit and a well-established product range
• The support of a team of 70 professionals and 25 years of brand reputation
• Long-term career potential — many of our consultants have been with us for years
• Staff discount and company events

Who We're Looking For

We're open-minded about background. You don't need experience in blinds or interiors — we'll train you fully. What matters is that you're personable, take pride in your work, and genuinely enjoy spending time with clients to get the right result.

You'll need:

• Strong interpersonal skills and a natural ability to build rapport
• A consultative, patient approach to client interactions
• The self-motivation to manage your own time and workload
• A genuine interest in design and interiors
• A full UK driving licence
• Some experience in a client-facing or sales role is helpful, though not essential

Why Specialist Blinds?

We've spent 30 years building a reputation on the quality of our products and the people who represent them. If you speak to our existing consultants, they'll tell you this is a role that rewards the effort you put in, with a team behind you that genuinely wants you to succeed.

If you have questions about how the commission structure or lead process works before you apply, we're happy to answer them. No pressure, no sales pitch. Apply now to arrange an informal, no-obligation conversation.
