The initial comprehensive training you undertake will provide you with the necessary tools to develop a successful career where you will be hands-on with the latest mobile phone technology.
Whilst we will give you the tools to succeed, whatever your previous experience.

The role will centre around the following responsibilities:
· retail sales and identification of selling opportunities

After your initial training, you may be asked to work at several of our stores but will be primarily based in our North Walsham, Wroxham, Cromer and Holt stores. This variety will equip you with the hands-on skills, experience and knowledge necessary and means you will need access to your own car.
Our commission scheme is completely open-ended and is therefore driven by how good you are, how hard you work and how much responsibility you want. Those who wish to progress quickly could be managing their own store within 6-12 months and see their earnings continue to grow.
