More Than Just Another Sales Job
SD Plumbing & Heating is looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Plumbing & Heating Sales & Development Manager to take ownership of our customer sales process and help us grow the business.
This is not simply a role where you turn up, quote jobs and hit a monthly target.
We are looking for someone who can take genuine ownership of incoming opportunities, meet customers, identify the right solution, produce professional quotations, follow them through and convert them into profitable work.
You will receive a basic salary plus commission on every qualifying job you successfully sell, meaning your earnings increase directly with your performance.
For the right person, we want this position to grow with the business. As sales volumes increase, there will be an opportunity to take greater responsibility for the sales operation and potentially build and manage a team around you.
Commission on Every Job Sold
We want our commission structure to be straightforward – when you generate profitable work for the company, you are rewarded for it.
You will receive an agreed commission payment for qualifying jobs that you successfully quote, sell and bring into the business.
This could include:
- Boiler replacements and upgrades
- Full heating systems
- Central heating upgrades
- Plumbing installations
- Bathroom and en-suite projects
- Larger plumbing and heating works
- Other qualifying installation and project work
The stronger your sales performance, the greater your earning potential.
There is no reason for an excellent salesperson who consistently brings profitable work into the company to have their earnings unnecessarily capped.
All Leads Provided
This is not a cold-calling position. All leads are vetted and booked into your diary
SD Plumbing & Heating will provide customer enquiries and sales opportunities for you to manage.
Your job is to take those opportunities and convert them into work.
From the initial enquiry, you will arrange and attend appointments, understand what the customer requires, survey the job, recommend the correct solution, prepare the quotation and professionally follow up until the customer makes a decision.
We want you spending your time meeting customers and selling work, not sitting all day trying to find people to call.
Take Ownership of the Complete Sales Journey
You will be responsible for managing opportunities from the initial enquiry through to the job being successfully handed over for installation.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Responding quickly to company-generated enquiries
- Speaking with customers and qualifying opportunities
- Attending customers’ homes and properties
- Surveying plumbing and heating requirements
- Understanding the customer’s requirements and budget
- Recommending appropriate solutions
- Preparing accurate and professional quotations
- Following up every quotation consistently
- Negotiating and closing sales
- Keeping accurate records of enquiries and quotations
- Maintaining an organised sales pipeline
- Liaising with engineers, subcontractors and suppliers where required
- Ensuring sold jobs are properly handed over for installation
- Identifying additional opportunities where appropriate
- Helping improve our quotation, follow-up and sales processes
- Monitoring conversion rates and overall sales performance
- Helping develop the sales side of SD Plumbing & Heating as the company grows
We Are Looking for Someone Who Can Sell Properly
This role would suit someone who is confident sitting down with a homeowner, understanding exactly what they need and explaining why our proposed solution is right for them.
We don’t want aggressive or high-pressure selling.
Our reputation matters.
We want someone who can build trust with customers, communicate technical information clearly and confidently ask for the business when the solution is right.
You should be:
- Confident and professional with customers
- Commercially minded
- Highly motivated by results and earnings
- Excellent at following up opportunities
- Comfortable negotiating and closing sales
- Organised and capable of managing multiple quotations
- Able to take responsibility for your own performance
- Comfortable working independently
- Interested in improving systems rather than simply following them
- Ambitious and interested in progressing as the company grows
- Holder of a full UK driving licence
Plumbing & Heating Knowledge
Previous experience within plumbing, heating, boilers, bathrooms, construction, renewables, property services or home improvements would be a major advantage.
The ideal candidate may already be working as:
- A plumbing or heating salesperson
- A boiler sales advisor
- A bathroom salesperson/designer
- A heating surveyor
- A sales manager within the home-improvement industry
- A merchant or manufacturer sales representative
- An experienced plumbing/heating engineer looking to move away from the tools
- A strong salesperson with enough technical ability to quickly learn our industry
You don’t necessarily need to be a qualified heating engineer.
However, you must be capable of developing enough technical understanding to survey work accurately, recognise when engineering input is required and ensure customers are being sold the correct solution.
Help Us Build the Sales Department
The long-term opportunity is one of the most important parts of this position.
Initially, your priority will be selling jobs and developing a highly effective sales process.
As the business grows, we want the successful person to become increasingly involved in how the sales operation is structured.
That could eventually include:
- Developing sales systems and procedures
- Increasing quotation conversion rates
- Helping develop pricing and sales strategies
- Recruiting additional salespeople
- Training and managing a sales team
- Setting targets and monitoring performance
- Taking responsibility for the company’s overall sales pipeline
- Progressing into a Sales Manager or senior leadership position
Progression will be based on performance and the growth of the business, but we want someone joining us who sees this as a long-term opportunity rather than simply their next job.
What We Offer
- Competitive guaranteed basic salary
- Commission paid on every qualifying job successfully sold
- Strong uncapped earning potential
- Company vehicle
- Fuel card
- Company pension
- Qualified customer enquiries supplied
- No cold calling
- Support from experienced plumbing and heating engineers
- Opportunity to influence how our sales operation develops
- Genuine responsibility and autonomy
- Long-term career progression
- Opportunity to build and eventually lead the SD Plumbing & Heating sales department
