Do you already walk into flooring shops for a living?
PlanIt builds software for the flooring trade: estimating, quoting, CRM and EPOS for independent flooring retailers and trade counters. It was built inside a working flooring shop in Southampton, and independent flooring businesses already use it every day.
Now we're hiring our first salesperson.
This isn't a typical software sales job. It works much like a flooring area sales manager's territory: building relationships, visiting shops and understanding how each business works. The difference is that you're selling the software that runs the shop, not the flooring on its racks.
What you'll do
- Build and manage your own territory of independent flooring retailers
- Demo PlanIt on the customer's own work: measure a room, price the job, produce the quote. No PowerPoint.
- Qualify honestly and take deals from first conversation through trial to paid subscription
- Get the customers you win up and running: catalogues, price lists, staff, VAT and hardware
- Train their teams and stay their named contact through the first 90 days
- Help shape the sales and onboarding process that future hires will follow
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll typically spend 2–3 days a week in the field and the rest of the week demonstrating and onboarding remotely.
You'll bring
- At least 2 years' field sales experience with independent retailers or trade customers. Area Sales Managers and reps from flooring manufacturers or distributors would suit this well, as would people from merchant or trade-counter sales.
- A practical understanding of how a flooring shop or trade counter runs day to day
- Confidence with software, and patience with customers who don't have it
- The drive to run your own week
- A full UK driving licence

It's a bonus if you have existing retailer relationships in the region, EPOS or Xero/QuickBooks experience, or you've fitted floors or worked behind a trade counter.
The package
- £32,000–£38,000 basic
- Uncapped commission, £50,000–£55,000 OTE in year one
- Car allowance plus mileage
- Laptop, phone and demo EPOS kit
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
- Pension
How to apply
We care more about what you've done than about a polished CV. Send a short note to jasonh@planitflooring.com covering:
- The territory you work now
- The last new account you opened, and how you won it
- The last account you lost, and why
The first interview is an informal video call. At the second, you'll demo PlanIt back to us on a flooring job of your choosing. No slides.
