Sales Specialist

We’re Hiring — Sales Professional | La-Z-Boy Whitby I’m looking for a salesperson. But probably not the kind who is simply looking for a sales job. At La-Z-Boy Whitby, we’re building a sales culture around a simple idea: Great results are earned through great process. That means we aren't looking for someone who wants to stand on a sales floor, wait for the “good customers” to arrive, and hope the numbers work out at the end of the month. We're looking for someone who wants to become exceptionally good at the craft of selling. Someone who is curious about people. Someone willing to ask great questions, listen carefully, solve problems, follow up, learn from missed opportunities, accept coaching, and continuously improve their process. You might belong on this team if: • You are competitive — but coachable. • You take ownership instead of making excuses. • You believe your results are influenced by what you do, not by luck. • You genuinely enjoy helping customers make decisions. • You are comfortable hearing “no” and curious enough to learn from it. • You follow through when you say you will. • You want feedback because you actually want to improve. • You understand that professionalism includes what happens when nobody is watching. • You want teammates who will challenge you, support you and expect something from you. • You want to become better at what you do — not simply become more comfortable doing it. What you’ll find here: A leader who will coach you. A team that is being built around accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement. Clear expectations. A process you can learn, practice and refine. Opportunities to develop your ability to sell, design solutions, build relationships and create an exceptional customer experience. And a workplace where we can take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We work hard. We celebrate. We have fun. We learn from each other. And then we get a little better and do it again. What you won't find: A culture built around blaming traffic. “Bad customers.” Bad luck. Waiting for someone else to create your success. Or a manager who believes leaving you alone is the same thing as supporting you. If your definition of a good sales environment is “just let me do my thing,” this probably isn't the opportunity for you. If you're looking for a place where someone will invest in your development while expecting you to invest equally in yourself, I'd like to meet you. Furniture experience isn't what will impress me most. Character, curiosity, discipline, energy and coachability will. Because we're not simply filling a position at La-Z-Boy Whitby. We're building a team. And I'm looking for people who want to help build it. And one last thing... We believe in working hard, showing up for each other, doing the work and earning our results. But we're still La-Z-Boy, after all. So maybe the whole point is... Work hard enough to earn the right to be a little La-Z. 😉 (And fortunately, we know a few pretty comfortable places to do it.) #Hiring #SalesCareers #RetailSales #LaZBoy #Whitby #DurhamRegion #SalesProfessional #Leadership #ContinuousImprovement #CustomerExperience
