The role of a Territory Sales Representative (known internally as a TSC - Territory Sales Consultant) is an excellent opportunity to actively drive sales growth, create demand and expand product awareness across assigned B&Q stores.
As a TSC at Sherwin-Williams, you will be expected to create demand where none exists, open conversations that others avoid, and take full ownership of growing your territory - even when conditions are uncertain.
This is a field-based, commercially focused role covering B&Q stores (Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Keighley and Thornbury areas of Yorkshire.). Candidates must live within the territory.
This position is ideal for a sales professional with retail sales or service experience who is energized by creating opportunities, influencing others, and building momentum in dynamic environments.
In return, we offer an exciting career with ongoing support and development, attractive salary, uncapped sales bonus, car, lunch allowance and a company pension.
At Sherwin-Williams, our purpose is to inspire and improve the world by coloring and protecting what matters. Our paints, coatings and innovative solutions make the places and spaces in our world brighter and stronger. Your skills, talent and passion make it possible to live this purpose, and for customers and our business to achieve great results. Sherwin-Williams is a place that takes its stability, growth and momentum and translates it to possibility for our people. Our people are behind the strength of our success, and we invest and support you in:
Life … with rewards, benefits and the flexibility to enhance your health and well-being
Career … with opportunities to learn, develop new skills and grow your contribution
Connection … with an inclusive team and commitment to our own and broader communities
