What is a flooring sales representative?

A flooring sales representative works for a flooring, interior design, or hardware store. In this career, you interact with customers, answering questions they have about different types of flooring material, what kinds of flooring would be appropriate for a design or construction project, and the costs and care involved in maintaining the floor. After you make a sale, you work with the shipping department to ensure delivery to the customer. You may also recommend laborers who can install the flooring. Qualifications include a high school diploma or GED certificate and experience in sales or customer service.
