What you'll get

At Benchmarx, we have strong family values and believe in getting the right work/life balance, meaning you'll only work during the week and 4 hours every other Saturday. We make sure that hard work is rewarded and as an inclusive, family environment we want every team member to be recognised for the work they do.

We'll also equip you with a benefits package that grows as you grow with the company:

Competitive performance related bonus
Save-as-you-earn scheme
Buy-as-you-earn scheme
Contributory pension scheme
Colleague discount across a variety of Group businesses including special discounts across our Trade Merchanting businesses

The role

Are you someone with strong customer service experience? Do you find it easy building relationships with people? If this is you, you might just be perfect for the Telesales role we are looking for at our branch.

This is a great opportunity to join a business that promotes personal development and supports career progression. You don't need experience within the industry to excel in this role, all you need is an innovative, forward-thinking mind and the ability to pick up the phone and manage lasting relationships with local tradesmen.

We are looking for someone who is forward-thinking, who uses their initiative to generate a strong new business pipeline.

What you'll do

We are a trade-focused business, so a large part of your day will involve working directly with the customers and creating a personalised experience. This will include making phone calls to new prospects and current account holders, creating a social media presence for the Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery brand and coming up with marketing campaigns that we can use to attract new customers and being that product expert..
