Ash Tree Park sales executive Jan tells us about working for Story Homes
What does your role involve?
Our Sales Executives pride themselves on being friendly, flexible and efficient, providing a professional and personal service which is second to none. I am the face of Story Homes at our Ash Tree Park development, meeting customers and introducing them to our aspirational homes. I take every customer through the home buying process – managing their customer journey whilst delivering an exceptional service from beginning to end. I build a strong relationship with the site team and together we deliver and exceed our customers’ expectations.
Why did you decide upon this career path?
I have always worked for companies that provide exceptional customer service. Previously, I worked for British Airways as cabin crew travelling around Europe. The local route came to an end, so I decided to change direction to housebuilding helping people secure their dream home where I could play a big part in guiding them through the process. There is nothing better than handing the keys to a new Story Home over to a family.
What do you enjoy about your job?
I really enjoy taking our customers through the whole buying journey. They are buying a house but by the end of their journey we are delivering a home with their individual needs in mind. Customer service is a main part of my role and I really enjoy interacting with our customers, helping them make choices for their home and delivering a high quality home for them, working closely with our site team.
Why Story Homes?
I originally worked on our Waterside development in Cottam. I worked for a national housebuilder next door to the site and as soon as I saw the quality of the homes being built by Story Homes I knew I had to apply for a role with them. When I researched in to the company, I loved the fact that this is a family business with a strong culture and values. Everyone genuinely cares about everyone else, delivering a quality home and exceeding our customer’s needs. I feel really passionate about what we offer and proud to say I sell a Story Home.
What do you hope to achieve with Story Homes?
I have a lot of experience in the housebuilding industry and continuously look at new opportunities to learn and expand my skills. I really hope to develop a career with them and look at opportunities to move up the ladder within the sales team.
