What does a Sales Assistant do?

As a Sales Assistant in Birmingham, you'll be the face of the business and a key part of the customer experience. Day to day, you'll be:

  • Welcoming customers and delivering standout service at every interaction

  • Understanding customer needs, answering questions and recommending the right products or services

  • Processing sales, payments and orders with accuracy and care

  • Handling queries and the occasional complaint calmly and professionally

  • Following up with customers to build relationships and repeat business

  • Working towards individual and team sales targets, reviewed monthly with your manager
What to expect, honestly

We'd rather you know what the job really involves before you apply:

  • Shifts run on a rota, typically between 8:30am and 6:00pm, including two weekend days per month

  • Busy periods get genuinely busy, especially around end of month and seasonal peaks

  • You'll be on your feet and talking to people for most of your shift

  • Targets are realistic but real. Most of our team hit them after their first two to three months

  • The first four weeks are a structured training and probation period, with weekly check\-ins

  • Organised and comfortable juggling several customers or tasks at once

  • Flexible with working hours, including some weekends
No CV packed with sales experience required. Full training is provided from your very first day.

Pay, benefits and career progression

  • Competitive pay with commission and regular pay reviews

  • Full paid training, covering sales techniques, customer service and product knowledge

  • Workplace pension, employee discounts and company perks
