Trade is fast and competitive – and we have survived and indeed expanded so far by offering a fast and reliable service- plus having an eye for a sale without being too pushy.

Saturday Rota 8.30 – 12pm

Bonuses - £2000 per year average, extra bonuses through product drive lines, new customer drivelines.

Basic Job Description and Duties – Newark

This is a key position within our new Newark operation.  Counter trade is very important to us.  Working alongside your manager, you will be responsible for sales, cash and stock upkeep of all showroom products.  Transactions vary from small cash sales to large account customers – all processed via our merchant computer system

What We Will Expect From the Successful Applicant

We want a cheerful team player – prepared to ‘muck in’ and help other departments if necessary, in return help will be given to your department also.  A pleasant and persuasive manner – not pushy – but prepared to ask for the order. An organised and professional approach – getting back to customers with correct information, not making commitments without being sure we are able to fulfil them. A pride in the appearance of the showroom.  Items priced – neatly put away – promotional items displayed prominently.

It is essential that the candidate will have previous sales experience, knowledge of Builders Merchants will be preferred.

What the Applicant Can Expect From Our Company

Within reason you will be your own boss – with little interference from Senior Management.  You will be encouraged to form a friendly relationship with your customers – who are normally impressed with our service.  We have a very informal working atmosphere.

We will train you on product knowledge where necessary.

You will be rewarded for achieving extra sales.  At ECA we proudly boast that we do not loose customers.  We also rarely loose staff.  If you are ambitious – so are we.  Further opportunities may arise because of our continuous expansion.
