My client is looking for a strong salesperson who must have 2+ years experience in construction field sales dealing with the same range of customers – retailers / merchants. As an individual my client places high value in having honesty/integrity and drive.  The ideal candidate of course will come from a Flooring background, however a quality sales person from any other construction product is fine. My client is particularly fond of sales people who have experience selling a high quality brand, someone who is very much on the way up who has passion.
