You’re naturally self‑motivated, enthusiastic and lead by example. You have natural charm and energy with the ability to motivate and inspire the team you work with to be at their best.
You’re in that little sweet spot of being sales driven AND customer focused. And you’re passionate about what you do which is demonstrated in every interaction. You understand the value of a consultative sales approach and can create strong rapport and trust from the get‑go to make our customers feel relaxed and reassured.
Good judgement is key – you don’t shy away from difficult conversations and manage them with Tapi charm, dealing with challenges but ensuring the best outcome.
You’ll be a brand ambassador and ooze the “Tapi difference”.
You’re “Tech Savvy” and know how to use store systems to your advantage – and if you don’t, you find out!
You’re flexible and do what is best for the store, scheduling work effectively so no customer is left behind.
About Us
Hello, we’re Tapi and we’re slightly obsessed with floors. We’re a flooring retailer with a difference, here to bring a breath of fresh air into the world of carpet and flooring shopping.
The Tapi story starts in 2015, when a handful of flooring industry specialists decided to do things differently. With hundreds of years of flooring knowledge between us, our mission was to make buying flooring reassuringly simple for our customers – and show that it could be fun! Over the past 10 years, we’ve grown massively to become the largest flooring retailer in Britain – something we’re super proud of. You’re likely to find a Tapi showroom in your local town and we’ve got a fleet of home consultants zooming around the country.
We care deeply about personal development which is why we launched the Tapi Academy – a 12‑week training plan for all new flooring sales advisors, with 12‑weeks OTE guaranteed while you learn the ropes.
It’s a happy place to work and when you love what you do, customers will see that too. And making our customers happy is the reason we get out of bed in the morning.
