Sales Executive and Client Experience Specialist

We're not looking for a typical salesperson.

We're looking for someone who understands how to guide customers towards better decisions, and in doing so, naturally increases order value and conversion.

At WaterFeatures, we sell high-quality outdoor water features and design-led garden products to customers who care about how their space looks and feels. We focus on premium - higher-value orders, better customer experience, and a more considered, design-led approach.

This role sits right at the heart of that.

What you'll be responsible for:

  • Turning inbound enquiries (phone, email, live chat) into confident, higher-value sales.
  • Helping customers choose the right product - not just the one they initially ask about.
  • Increasing average order value through natural, well-judged recommendations (e.g. planters, pebbles, Aqua Moda range).
  • Thinking in terms of complete setups, not single products.
  • Feeding back real customer insights to the Marketing Manager to improve product pages and conversion.
  • Supporting product presentation, merchandising and photography.

What we're looking for:

  • Experience in a premium retail or consultative sales environment (e.g. interiors, garden design, furniture, kitchens, bathrooms).
  • A natural ability to build trust quickly and guide conversations.
  • Commercial instinct - you'll spot opportunities to increase order value without being pushy.
  • Good taste and judgement - important in a design-led, higher-end space.
  • Confident communicator on phone, email and in person.
  • Comfortable working in a small team where everyone contributes.

What this role is not:

  • Not a call centre role.
  • Not a hard sales environment.

What success looks like:

  • Higher conversion rate from enquiries.
  • Increased average order value.
  • Customers feeling confident they've made the right purchase.

Why join us:

  • Small team - your impact is immediate.
  • Clear direction towards a more premium, design-led brand.
  • Opportunity to shape how we sell, not just follow a script.
