Are you passionate about design and have a talent for turning connections into sales? We’re looking for a Lead Sales Representative to join our thriving team in Powhatan! Since 2008, our small and mighty team has been transforming homes with premium window treatments and custom design solutions. Now, we’re partnering with Behind the Design on a search for a driven sales professional to lead the way in delivering personalized, high-quality designs to our clients.

  • Sales Ownership: Take charge of the sales process—from consultations and quotes to order placement and follow-ups—with support from our office team.
  • Client-Centric Approach: Provide personalized recommendations during in-home or showroom consultations, ensuring every client’s vision comes to life.
  • Team Player: Contribute to a collaborative, professional team committed to excellence and customer satisfaction.

What We Offer:

  • Earnings Potential: Begin with a $40k base, with first-year earnings between $69k–$73k and potential to exceed $80k in year two.
  • Bonuses: Quarterly bonuses for meeting your goals.
  • Paid Time Off: Enjoy two weeks of vacation, three sick days, and six paid holidays.
  • Perks: Use a company vehicle, receive mileage reimbursement, and access tech tools for success. Plus, enjoy a 10% employee discount.
  • Supportive Culture: Join a team-oriented environment with strong leadership and ample opportunities to grow.

Your Day-to-Day:

  • Engage with Clients: Offer tailored advice during showroom and in-home consultations, guiding clients through design options.
  • Manage Sales & Projects: Prepare quotes, manage orders, and oversee projects from measurements to installation.
  • Build Relationships: Utilize provided leads and develop lasting connections with clients for repeat and referral business.
  • Collaborate with the Team: Work closely with installers and operations to ensure exceptional service and project delivery.

Who We’re Looking For:

  • Design Enthusiast: Background in interior design, home decorating, or in-home sales (window treatments, furniture, upholstery) is highly desirable.
  • Sales Expertise: Proven experience in quoting, project management, and conducting in-home consultations. Familiarity with real estate, home staging, or design retail is a plus.
  • Great Communicator: Exceptional interpersonal skills to build and manage client relationships effectively.
  • Adaptable & Positive: Thrives in a fast-paced, multitasking environment with a solutions-focused attitude.
  • Tech-Savvy: Familiarity with Quoterite is a bonus but not mandatory.
