Retail Sales Consultant at Beaverbrooks (40 hours per week)

Job Introduction

Contract: 40 hours per week

Location: Centre MK

As Sales Consultants at Beaverbrooks, we’re not here to passively take payments from customers. We’re here to passionately sell stunning pieces of jewellery, watches and diamonds.

To create moments that will last a lifetime. For every customer, every time.

Every single day holds the promise of a moment you’ll never forget.

We are proud to have recently achieved the number 1 position in the prestigious 100 Best Companies to Work For list 2021, in addition to being announced as ‘Retail’s Best Company to Work For’ 2021. It’s also our 16th consecutive year of receiving three-star accreditation for ‘world class’ levels of workplace engagement. Further recognition has also been received at The UK Jewellery Awards where we were awarded both Retailer of the Year and Employer of the Year for 2021 and at The Retail Week Awards 2020, where we were awarded 'Best Place To Work'.

Main Responsibilities

It means knowing how to encourage love and appreciation for our products. So it means knowing each one of them and what makes it special.

It means knowing how to display and present those products in a way that lights up customers’ eyes as they pass our windows and once they’re in store too.

It also means listening to customers to understand their needs and price ranges, too. How much they would like to spend for something really special. And how you can help them find that.

And it means seeing customers’ eyes light up when we help them find the perfect item. Gifts for friends, family and loved ones. People treating themselves to something special. Engagements, weddings, birthdays and Christmases.

Make no mistake, there's a lot to learn. About the products, the people and the Beaverbrooks Way. 

And be prepared for accountability. Truth is, you’re going to have to work hard if you want to keep up. But, believe us, you’ll want to keep up.

We’re realistic about people’s goals. That’s why our sales targets are always based on the last year’s achievements. We let you know how well you’re doing so you can grow your skills and help grow the business. And so we can reward you properly when you do even better.

The Ideal Candidate

As for you, well, your passion for the customer experience is only equalled by your down-to-earth approach. And you’ll love working with colleagues who share the same values and commitment to amazing service as you.

You’re the kind of person who knows the value of listening to customers. Who’s open and honest with them. Who likes to turn the everyday into the extraordinary.

Maybe you’ll have some merchandising experience to enhance your ability to create the extraordinary. We’ll train you if not, but one thing’s for sure… You’ll certainly have a great eye for detail and what good looks like.

And you not only have a brilliant instinct, but also an understanding that you’re going to have to put plenty in to get out what you want. That’s what makes you truly unique.

This role would be great for candidates who are currently Sales Assistants, Retail Assistants and Retail Sales Associates.
