Sales Consultants play a crucial role in helping customers transform their homes. The floor takes up the most space visually in a room and needs to last years to come.
\n\n\n\n
Customers often pop into a Flooring Xtra store and have no idea of where to start and which of the hundreds of options to choose from. The Sales Consultant helps to identify the customers home environment, their design and colour tastes, their budgets, timelines and so forth. Then using the product knowledge taught, show the customer options that will suit their lifestyle and tastes.
\n\n\n\n
To find out all of this key information and to build a relationship that lasts the weeks it takes to go from initial browsing to post purchase care, it is critical that a Sales Consultant be a 'people person', cheerful, helpful and treat each of their clients projects as if it were their own.
\n\n
\n\nThis role is perfect for those who have a flair for colour, design, playing with texture and pulling together a scheme as often customers bring in paint, fabric and surface samples to co-ordinate with.
\n\n
\n\nSales Consultants are provided sales and product training to kickstart their careers with the right tools to be successful. Further training is then available through FloorNZ, read on below to find out about training schemes and career prospects for a Sales Consultant.

\n\n\n\n
I do the advertising, sales consulting in the showroom and measuring and quoting in customer homes (to read more about the typical day of a quantifier, click HERE).
\n\n\n\n
The beauty with consulting on peoples homes is that they are never the same. This means that you are constantly learning about different products and techniques to be applied, to ensure the client gets the best possible finish.
\n\n\n\n
I also love the fact that in every home the same carpet sample can look so different depending on the lighting in the space, the colours on the walls and the style of the room and it'f furnishings, therefore I don’t believe there is a “popular” carpet colour or style as such, its more about what suits the homes style, lighting etc. Because of this, it is so important to find out about the customers home and their personalities so that I can find a product that reflects them.
