A day in the life of.....Sarah, Sales and Design team

I am Sarah the newest member of the “Mad About Furniture “ team, I joined the company nearly one year ago in April 2010 and I am very pleased I did!
My typical working day starts with the horrible ringing of my alarm clock at 9.00am!! I know that’s not particularly early but I am not a good early morning person, so after the quickest shower, getting dressed , make –up on and I am out of the door at 9.45am ready for work 10.am. The shop is open 10am through to 7pm and doesn’t close for siesta, so if you can only pop in your lunch hours then it’s not a problem as we are open.
My role is sales and helping clients with their needs and requirements. I love helping with coordinating colours and design. I have 22 years of experience in different careers from window dressing, fashion stylist and interior design so all incorporate a flair and eye for matching shades and colours and designs of fabrics, furniture and accessories.
I like meeting our clients in the shop and asking if I can assist in what they are looking for. As well as all the items we stock we have a large collection of suppliers whom we work with so if our client can’t see what they are looking I will sit down with them and go through some brochures to ensure they have the perfect item they need.
As well as individual items of furniture sales I also get involved in complete furniture packages and interior design.
I visit the client’s new apartments and evaluate and measure for their requirements. I check for how many light fittings are required, what size and how many curtains they would needed etc. I advise and take note of the space available for items in all rooms including size of dining tables, sofas and beds etc. Taking into account all the wood finishes, floor colouring and wall coverings I then put together a full inventory for the client to include photographs and individual prices.
Steve and David have built up a fantastic company with excellent quality furniture at affordable and not silly prices
so it’s a pleasure to sell and advise clients on products that I would happily purchase myself .
