Bath & Floor Stiles

Showroom Assistant - Kitchen, Bath & Flooring

Location: Gaithersburg, MD -- on-site showroom position

Create a Showroom Experience Customers Remember

For more than 25 years, Bath & Floor Stiles has helped homeowners throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area create beautiful kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and living spaces. Our locally owned Gaithersburg showroom brings quality materials, knowledgeable guidance, and professional installation together under one trusted name. We are known for craftsmanship, honest recommendations, personal service, and a welcoming, low-pressure customer experience.

As Bath & Floor Stiles transitions to an appointment-based sales model, our Sales & Design Consultants will spend more time meeting homeowners at their properties. We are seeking a friendly and dependable Showroom Assistant to maintain the showroom, welcome walk-in customers, collect their project information, and connect qualified opportunities with the sales team.

This is primarily a retail, hospitality, and showroom-support position--not a commissioned sales role. You will help visitors explore products, answer basic questions, keep the showroom presentable, and ensure that every potential customer receives proper follow-up. The ideal candidate enjoys helping people, has an interest in home design or building materials, and can be trusted to manage the showroom independently.

Key Responsibilities

• Welcome every showroom visitor warmly and make them feel comfortable and attended to.
• Guide customers through the showroom and help them explore available products, materials, and design options.
• Answer basic product questions in a helpful, informative, and low-pressure manner.
• Learn the company's kitchen, bathroom, flooring, fixture, and building-material product lines.
• Collect each visitor's contact information, project interests, approximate scope, and timeline.
• Enter walk-in customer information and detailed notes into the company CRM.
• Qualify prospective customers at a basic level and connect them with the appropriate Sales & Design Consultant.
• Coordinate with the sales and office teams to ensure every qualified visitor receives timely follow-up.
• Answer showroom telephone calls and welcome clients arriving for scheduled consultations.
• Keep the showroom clean, organized, properly merchandised, and ready for visitors.
• Prepare product samples and showroom materials for scheduled appointments.
• Help ready-to-buy customers take the next step and connect them with a consultant who can complete the sale.
• Process occasional simple in-stock retail purchases when needed.
• Receive deliveries and coordinate customer material pickups.
• Maintain basic delivery, pickup, customer, and showroom records.
• Provide light administrative and office support as needed.
• Ensure the showroom remains professionally staffed throughout scheduled operating hours.

Qualifications

• At least 1-2 years of experience in retail, hospitality, front-desk service, showroom support, or another customer-facing position.
• Warm, personable, and genuinely interested in helping customers.
• Attentive and informative without using a pushy sales approach.
• Reliable, punctual, and comfortable working independently.
• Strong organization and attention to detail.
• Clear and professional verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Basic computer proficiency, including email, CRM, and point-of-sale systems.
• Ability to work on-site at the Gaithersburg showroom.
• Availability to work typical retail hours, including some weekends as scheduled.
• Experience with showrooms, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, furniture, building materials, or home-improvement products is preferred.
• Interest in interior design, remodeling, or home improvement is a plus.
• Comfortable learning product lines well enough to guide customers confidently.
• Bilingual English and Spanish skills are a plus.

Pay and Benefits

• Qualified handoff incentive: $15 for each qualified showroom visitor properly captured and accepted by a Sales & Design Consultant.
• Conversion bonus: $50 when an eligible showroom handoff becomes a signed project.
• Full-time, showroom-based position.
• Stable hourly compensation--the role is not dependent on commission.
• Product, CRM, and company-process training.
• Opportunity to develop knowledge of kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and remodeling products.
• Potential for professional growth as the company expands its showroom and sales operations.

Final compensation, incentive eligibility, work hours, and weekend requirements are subject to the company's approved employment and compensation policies.
