Customer Service & Complaints * Handle customer complaints calmly, professionally and patiently. * Deal confidently with frustrated or aggressive customers without becoming confrontational. * Investigate problems before offering solutions. * Take ownership of customer issues and escalate appropriately when required. * When a cake or order mistake occurs, focus on finding a solution and turning a negative experience into an opportunity to recover the customer's trust and retain their business. * Record recurring complaints and customer feedback to help improve the operation. * Maintain professional boundaries when dealing with abusive behaviour. Teamwork Strong relationships with the cake studio team are essential. * Build and maintain a good working relationship with chefs, cake designers and production staff. * Communicate customer requirements clearly and accurately. * Respect the chef's technical knowledge while representing the customer's needs. * Work collaboratively when solving difficult or last-minute customer requests. * Avoid creating unnecessary conflict between customers, sales and production. * Understand that successful cake sales depend on good cooperation between the sales and kitchen teams. Additional Sales & Reservations The role may also include: * Taking table reservations for Caffè Concerto shops. * Handling general customer enquiries. * Selling additional restaurant and celebration products. * Identifying opportunities to increase the value of each customer interaction. Administration & Reporting * Maintain accurate customer, quotation and order records. * Track enquiries, sales, follow-ups and lost opportunities. * Prepare basic sales reports. * Monitor conversion rates and average order value. * Provide management with useful customer feedback and sales information. What We Are Looking For * Experience in telesales, telephone sales, hospitality sales, reservations or a similar customer-facing role. * Excellent communication and listening skills. * Strong sales, upselling and negotiation ability. * Confidence discussing prices and customer budgets. * Good numerical skills and an understanding of portions and pricing. * Excellent attention to detail. * Patient and calm under pressure. * Confident handling complaints and difficult customers. * Commercially aware and focused on both sales and profitability. * Able to build strong relationships with chefs and operational teams. * Organised and able to manage multiple enquiries simultaneously. * Comfortable using email, spreadsheets and sales/order systems. Cake, bakery, patisserie, hospitality, wedding/event or bespoke product sales experience is an advantage. The Right Person We need someone who can take a customer from: “I need a cake” → understand what they actually want → recommend the right solution → establish the budget → price it correctly → close the sale → communicate it clearly to the chef → follow up → create the next sales opportunity. The successful candidate should be a salesperson, problem-solver and relationship builder, not simply someone who answers the telephone. You will be measured on sales conversion, average order value, upselling, follow-up, customer service, order accuracy and teamwork.

Our projects include: • Home extensions, • Loft conversions, • Full and partial property renovations, • Internal remodelling and refurbishment Typical contract values range from £40,000 to £250,000, with an average project value of approximately £70,000. This role is designed for someone who wants the independence and earning potential of running projects without having to worry about finding customers, generating leads, running sales calls, issuing contracts, chasing invoices or managing back-office administration. We find the work and run the back office. You deliver the projects. How the role works The company generates enquiries and works with homeowners to understand their plans, budget and project requirements. Once we identify a promising opportunity, you will: 1. Visit the property and meet the client in person., 2. Discuss the proposed work in detail., 3. Assess the site and identify potential risks or challenges., 4. Scope the work and prepare an accurate, commercially viable quotation., 5. Support our internal team with any technical questions required to close the project. Our internal team then takes over the sales process, follows up with the customer, issues contracts and closes the project. Once the project is secured, you take responsibility for delivering it from start to finish. Focus on delivery, not administration We take care of the back office, including: • Lead generation, • Initial customer qualification, • Sales calls and follow-up, • Customer contracts, • Billing, • Invoicing, • Payment collection, • General administration You are not expected to spend your time finding work, chasing paperwork, issuing contracts or collecting money.

The more work you successfully manage, and the more efficiently and profitably you deliver it, the more you can earn. No need to find your own work One of the biggest challenges of running a construction business is keeping the pipeline full. We take that problem away. Our team generates the enquiries, qualifies customers and runs the sales process. We can generate as much work as you are capable of successfully delivering. Whether you want to manage £60,000 or £6 million of construction work, we want the limiting factor to be your ability to deliver rather than our ability to find projects. No back-office burden Contracts, billing, invoicing, payment collection, sales and administration are handled internally. That allows you to spend your time where you add the most value: on site, with contractors and with clients. Be your own boss The role is largely self-directed. You will have significant freedom over how you organise your time, manage your contractors and deliver your projects. We are looking for someone who wants responsibility rather than someone who needs constant supervision. How the numbers work Our average project is approximately £70,000. A well-run project should achieve at least a 20% profit margin, with 30% or more achievable on strong projects. That means a £70,000 project could generate: 20% Margin30% Margin Contract value £70,000 £70,000 Project profit £14,000 £21,000 Your commission is linked to the profit generated by the projects you manage. A project of this size should take no more than six weeks when properly planned, resourced and managed. There is also no reason an experienced and organised Project Manager cannot oversee multiple projects at the same time. That is where the earning potential becomes significant. Run more projects. Maintain strong margins. Deliver excellent work. Earn more commission. There is no commission cap. By the numbers • Project values: £40,000–£250,000, • Average project: approximately £70,000, • Target minimum project margin: 20%, • Strong projects can achieve approximately 30%+, • Typical £70k project duration: no more than six weeks, • Average conversion following a qualified site visit: approximately 20%, • Approximately five suitable site visits generate one secured project, • Salary: £40,000–£130,000, • Uncapped project commission, • Commission directly linked to project profitability, • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, • As much work available as you are capable of successfully delivering Who we are looking for This role would suit an experienced: • Construction Project Manager, • Contracts Manager, • Construction Manager, • Site Manager, • Residential Project Manager, • General Builder looking to move into project management You should understand both the practical and commercial sides of domestic construction.
