Join the Black Swan Hearth & Home Team

Customer Experience and Showroom Sales Specialist

Do you enjoy helping people, building relationships, solving problems, and making customers feel welcome?

Black Swan Hearth & Home is a family owned fireplace, stove, hearth, and outdoor living retailer serving Connecticut since 1979. We are looking for an experienced Customer Experience and Showroom Sales Specialist to join our team.

This is not a typical corporate retail job. You will work directly with the owners and alongside a small, close knit team where your work matters, your ideas are heard, and your effort gets noticed.

About the Position

This position is approximately 50 percent customer service and 50 percent showroom sales.

Some days, you will be the friendly voice and face helping customers with questions, following up on concerns, and working with our service, installation, and sales teams.

Other days, you will work directly with showroom customers, helping them choose the right fireplace, stove, grill, or outdoor living product for their home.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership, thinks on their feet, follows through, and does not need constant direction. The right person will notice what needs attention, solve problems, and care about creating a great customer experience from the first phone call through the completed project.

This position offers the stability of an hourly wage plus the opportunity to earn commission on showroom sales.

What You Will Do

Customer Service

• Answer incoming phone calls and assist customers with questions.

• Support customers before, during, and after the sale.

• Communicate with our service, installation, scheduling, and sales teams.

• Help resolve customer concerns and follow through until they are handled.

• Keep customer notes and project information accurate and up to date.

Showroom Sales

• Welcome customers and create a great first impression.

• Ask thoughtful questions and help customers choose products that fit their home, lifestyle, and budget.

• Prepare quotes and guide customers through the purchasing process.

• Follow up consistently and build lasting customer relationships.

• Learn to become a product expert in fireplaces, stoves, grills, and outdoor kitchens.

No hearth industry experience is required. We will train you.

Who We Are Looking For

• You have experience in retail sales, customer service, or a similar customer focused position.

• You genuinely enjoy talking with and helping people.

• You are friendly, confident, professional, and easy to communicate with.

• You take ownership of problems instead of passing them to someone else.

• You follow through and do what you say you are going to do.

• You are organized and able to manage several priorities at once.

• You are comfortable using computers and learning new software.

• You are curious, eager to learn, and interested in becoming a product expert.

• You understand that great sales come from trust, education, and relationships, not pressure.

• You are dependable and care about doing things properly.

Why You Will Enjoy Working Here

• Every day is different.

• You will learn a unique and growing industry.

• You will work directly with ownership and have a voice in the business.

• You will receive hands on training and ongoing product education.

• There are opportunities to grow as the company grows.

• Competitive hourly pay plus commission on showroom sales.

• Paid vacation.

• Employee discounts.

This position is ideal for someone looking for a long term career, not just another retail job.

If you enjoy helping customers, learning new things, taking ownership, and being part of a team where your contributions are noticed, we would love to meet you.
