Job description

Do you have a passion for selling modern interior design in a beautiful retail store environment? Here at BoConcept, we are looking for a full-time Sales & Design Consultant for our Edinburgh Showroom, on Rose Street in the City Centre.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

BoConcept was born in Denmark in 1952, and is today a premium retail lifestyle brand with over 300 stores in more than 65 countries. We design, produce, and sell contemporary Scandinavian furniture, accessories, and lighting to style-conscious customers. We also help our customers create a personal home with our comprehensive in-home or store interior design service.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of our Capitol City's Showroom. You will be joining an experienceed management team, complete an onboarding programme alongside your new teammates, take part in training together and have constant support from experienced team members across the company.

We believe in developing strong relationships between team members and working together, so a good, fun working environment to work in.

A typical working day in BoConcept Edinburgh might start with a morning meeting with your colleagues, discussing key design projects, sharing ideas and best practices, and updating your colleagues on your planned tasks and appointments for the day. From there, you may spend the morning working on a design proposal for a client who contacted you the previous day, while one of your colleagues pops out to do an at-home design visit with a client, and another is re-styling one of the showroom studios. Your afternoon could be spent contacting your existing and potential clients, while one colleague works on a design with a walk-in customer, and another is collating accessories for a styling appointment and coordinating a show-home with our logistics team.

No two days will be alike at BoConcept Edinburgh, but the core element is always the same: We offer exceptional design advice and customer service to a design-conscious customer, helping them make an intelligent and informed buying decision, and creating their perfect space.

All Sales/Design Consultants will be fully trained to use Roomplanner - our in-house design software - to help customers design their customised furniture and plan the layout of their homes.

All Sales/Design Consultants will be provided with in-depth product and sales training, and teams work to individual and store monthly sales targets.

OUR CORE VALUES

At BoConcept, we believe that a culture should be built from the inside out. Growth, customer focus and performance have many metrics, but we believe the most important is the satisfaction of our people. The feeling of being empowered to produce our best results. That’s why we have created a set of values: the foundation of our collective culture – and shared success. We call it The BoConcept Way. When we build our team, we’re looking for people who have D.R.I.V.E. .

DEVELOP YOURSELF
Constantly develop and renew yourself so that you are always ready for a new challenge.
REACH THE GOAL
Decide where you’re headed and dedicate yourself to finding the best way to get there.
INITIATE SOLUTIONS
You can always choose to create your own reality instead of depending on the circumstances.
VALUE DIFFERENCES
