FLEXJOB: Are you the salesperson who can open doors to new customers for Huset Ventures sewing studio?

Do you like calling on new customers, lifting the products under your arm, and selling them face to face?

Then you might be our new salesperson at Huset Venture Greater Copenhagen.

We have a sewing workshop with skilled staff, good craftsmanship and lots of opportunities. We sew bags, nets, cushions, prototypes for designers, decorations for shopping centers - typically of textiles and materials that already exist, but deserve a new life.

Proactive salesperson

Now we want to bring the products out to even more companies, and therefore we are looking for a classic proactive salesperson who can create contact, find the right customers and convert good sales conversations into orders. You must be able to call on companies you don’t know, and visit customers with our products under your arm.

Our customers must want to buy because the products make sense, the quality is top, and recycling and social responsibility are values they want to support. You don’t need to be an expert in textiles, but you must want to sell, be willing to open new doors, and believe you can create a good business.

Who are we?

Huset Venture Copenhagen North is a social enterprise based in Ballerup. We create jobs and development opportunities for people who need special terms in the labor market. About 95% of our employees are employed in flex jobs. We combine professionalism, quality and social responsibility with an ambition to run a healthy business.

In our sewing workshop, skilled seamstresses and tailors work with both customer orders and our own products. We repair, produce and create new from existing textiles—from small series to larger assignments for companies. We believe that good products and social responsibility can go hand in hand. Now we would like more companies to join this idea.

Your tasks

Your most important task is to generate sales for our sewing workshop. You must be proactive, curious and persistent and eager to go out and meet customers.

Your tasks will include, among others, to

• call on new customers and establish contact through proactive selling, including cold canvassing.
• carry the products under your arm and visit companies, present our products and show the opportunities we offer.
• proactively explore new markets and customers , for example companies seeking corporate gifts, merchandise, customer gifts or products made from recycled textiles.
• create concrete orders by understanding customers’ needs and finding solutions that fit them.
• nurture existing customers and follow up on dialogues, offers and opportunities for repeat purchases.
• follow up and keep track of your contacts , so good conversations translate into concrete agreements.

You will naturally gain thorough insight into our products and help to identify which customers and sectors are most relevant to target. We do not expect you to know everything from day one, but we expect you to want to sell.

Who are you?

We imagine that you have experience in sales and can recognize yourself in several of these descriptions:

• You are a salesperson who takes initiative, picks up the phone and follows things through.
• You thrive on cold canvassing and know that a no isn’t necessarily a final no.
• You can engage with people, ask the right questions and present a product so that the customer wants to buy it.
• You enjoy going out to customers and believe in the value of personal meetings.
• You are persistent, independent and good at creating momentum.
• You are thorough in your follow-up and ensure that agreements and customer contacts are registered.
• You think recycling, environment and social responsibility are meaningful, and you can communicate that without forgetting that it is also about running a good business.

Perhaps you have worked with B2B sales, telemarketing, retail sales or some other form of proactive sales. Your industry background is less important than your ability and desire to achieve results.

What do we offer?

You will become part of a workplace with a clear mission, dedicated colleagues and products you can be proud to present.

With us you get

• A flex job, where the working hours are adjusted to the right candidate and concrete possibilities.
