**Who are you?**

**Detail**

Your detailed focus is all about the client and the product. Knowing that the detail is of critical importance to the final product, you are intent on ensuring you unearth exactly what the client needs and leave no stone unturned in being able to deliver it. In doing this, you understand that the team around you need as much detail as possible to support you and you ensure you provide them with everything they need.

**Relationships**

Relationships are key to the teams success You are a people person at the core and able to pretty much talk to anyone - it’s what makes you good at what you do

You are a team player through and through and understand that although your clients are critical to your success, your team supports you, ultimately contributing to the business success. You are conciliatory when assessing delivery possibilities and ensure everything is taken into account and the best solution for all is achieved. You are comfortable in communicating openly with your clients around deliverables and understand that client’s requirements need to be met - but that over-promising and under-delivering are the biggest of sins

**Communication**

Clear, open and timely communication is the cornerstone of your method of operation. You believe that communication makes teamwork uncomplicated and that’s what you want to build with your partners.

You know when to rely on electronic means of communicating or when you should just pick up the phone. You honour and respect the agreed WIPs and associated documentation - and if for some reason you don’t, you openly engage others, discuss and assess alternatives and changes that provide everyone with the details they need.

**Sensibility**

You are very aware of those around you and their ways of working and happy to adapt and work with people rather than agains. In saying that, when you really don’t agree with something then you will speak your mind in a positive way to come up with a better solution. You aren’t shy about coming forward, but you have a diplomatic strength.

**Accountability**

You understand that you are accountable for the teams budgets. You know that delivering to the expectations of the business is key on every level, including the additional responsibilities that will be asked of you. You are more than happy to contribute to the overall growth and development of the business through these additional responsibilities and enjoy the variety and opportunities this provides you.

You believe that work is not a dirty word for something that you love to do You know that you are capable of getting in and getting it all done - even on those pressured days. You also know that you will ensure you are having fun while you’re doing it We expect you to be able to join in the laughter and frivolity with us.

**What do you need to do?**

There are four key things we need you to deliver upon. Then there’s the detail of the job. Critically you must;
- Build strong client relationships through providing excellent client service
- Represent Hospitality Furniture Concepts in a manner that upholds our values and reputation
- Promote the Brands we represent
- Exceed sales budgets

**Key Qualifications**
- Demonstrated proficiency in furniture, materials, particularly HFC brands and international designers, and the ability to quickly learn about new products.
- Proven experience in sales and commercial furniture solutions, as well as in developing customer loyalty.
- You have a proven ability to connect with people, manage processes efficiently, and prioritise without sacrificing the customer experience.
- You have extraordinary written and verbal communication skills, in person and on the phone.
- You can work effectively with business owners and executives across all organisational levels.
- Ability to consistently deliver great customer experiences — no matter what the situation.

- You’ll need to be fl
