In-Home Design and Sales Roles
Sales designer roles sit at the intersection of creativity and sales. You visit customers in their homes, understand their requirements, design a product or solution to fit their space, and close the sale — often in a single appointment. It is one of the most varied and highest-earning routes in direct sales for people who enjoy working with products and people in equal measure.
Citrus Connect places sales designers across kitchens, bathrooms, windows and conservatories, flooring, and other home improvement categories.
What Does a Sales Designer Role Involve?
A sales designer role typically works as follows:
- The company generates in-home appointments with customers who have expressed an interest in a product (kitchens, bathrooms, windows, flooring etc.)
- You attend the appointment, survey the space, design a solution using the company’s products or software, and present a quote
- You close the sale at the appointment — the commission is earned on the signed order
Most sales designer roles are commission-based or have a high commission element. The best performers in this space earn very well because they handle the full cycle: design, presentation, and close.
Sales Designer Earnings — What Can You Expect?
Sales designer earnings depend heavily on the product value and the company’s lead generation quality. Typical ranges:
Starting: £30,000–£50,000 OTE while building conversion rates and product knowledge Experienced sales designer: £35,000–£70,000 OTE.
Top performers in high-value products (luxury kitchens, premium bathrooms): £70,000–£100,000+.
Most companies provide the leads — you do not cold call. Conversion rate is everything in this role, and that improves significantly with experience.
