Sales Executive – Awnings & Shutters

Pre-Booked Appointments — £40,000–£60,000+ OTE

Cutting heat loss through windows by up to 33% as energy costs rise

The energy price cap rose 4% in October to £1,723 for a typical household, with a further rise forecast for January. Blinds and shutters can reduce heat loss through a double-glazed window by up to 33%. With hardwood shutters starting from around £700 per window, a standard four-window order comes to £2,800.

For a field sales consultant, that thermal performance transforms the conversation at the kitchen table. Customers aren’t just choosing decorative finishes; they are investing in efficiency that cuts heating waste.

The earning model

Because shutters and architectural awnings command high ticket sizes, individual commissions build quickly without needing dozens of small transactions.

• £55,000–£60,000+ Established Potential: Achievable annual income once you are running a consistently full diary of high-value consultations.
• Uncapped Returns: Direct, uncapped commission tied directly to your sales volume and local recommendations.

That pedigree gives you an immediate commercial advantage: you aren’t an unknown trader trying to prove legitimacy on the doorstep – you arrive with the credibility of Britain’s most recognised name in the industry.
