Help Tradies Get the Right Gear-Without the Runaround
A customer has a job starting tomorrow, the product they need is hard to find, & their order needs immediate attention. They do not need a script or another handball. They need someone who listens, thinks practically, finds the right solution & follows it through.
If you enjoy turning product questions into sales, fixing issues before they become problems & building genuine customer relationships, this could be your next move.
About Us
Our business is an independent professional tool retailer based in Somerville, serving trade, construction & industry professionals across the Mornington Peninsula & Australia. From one store, we now support more than 7,500 businesses nationwide with quality tools, practical advice & responsive service.
Established in ****, we have built our reputation by understanding what customers need, providing straightforward solutions & following through. We supply trusted tools, safety gear, lifting equipment, industrial products & specialist services that help customers keep their jobs moving. We are small enough to care, but big enough to deliver.
About the Job
This is a full-time internal sales position covering the whole business. You will sell across phone, email, trade account, walk-in & online channels, following each opportunity from the first enquiry through to the completed sale. We expect elite customer service, which means quick responses, clear communication, taking ownership & following things through.
Alongside your broader sales responsibilities, you will own & grow online sales. You will improve follow-up, strengthen conversion & ensure the online customer journey reflects the same practical service customers receive in-store. You will work across Jiwa, Detrack, Microsoft 365, Shopify, POS systems & freight company dashboards.



We use AI daily to improve response quality & streamline workflows—you don't need to be an expert in Claude or ChatGPT, but you must be comfortable learning to use them.
Your responsibilities will include:
Following up quotes, turning enquiries into sales & meeting agreed sales targets.
Managing sales across phone, email, trade account, walk-in & online channels.
Owning & growing online sales, including conversion, order follow-up & customer experience.
Providing practical product guidance with quick, clear communication.
Maintaining accurate sales information & coordinating with warehouse, delivery, suppliers & the wider team to keep orders moving.
What You'll Bring
A proven ability to close sales, follow up quotes & meet targets while delivering quick, clear customer service.
Experience in internal sales, B2B sales, trade sales, retail or another commercially focused customer-facing role.
Comfort using AI tools (or a willingness to learn) to research, draft, solve problems & improve workflows.
Strong digital confidence & the ability to quickly learn Jiwa, Detrack, Microsoft 365, Shopify, POS systems & freight company dashboards.
Shopify or e-commerce experience is preferred, as this person will own & grow online sales within the broader role.
Higher-rate candidates: Proven B2B sales performers with industry knowledge, established relationships & a track record of growing sales may qualify for the higher end of the range.
Reliable hours: Full-time roster working 7:30 am-4:00 pm, Monday to Friday, with no weekend work.
Supportive culture: Work with a close-knit, hands-on team where initiative, positive ideas & dependable follow-through are valued.
Real impact: Join a growing independent business where your decisions help tradies get back on the tools & keep projects moving.
