“The flexibility of my role at Story Homes has been a game-changer, especially as a parent with a young family. The working hours allow me to drop my children off at school and nursery each day, and I’m even able to attend special events like celebration assemblies. Having two days off during the week has also significantly reduced my childcare costs, making it easier to balance work and family life. The flexibility here supports my personal commitments, which is something I really value.”
“The management team at Story Homes provides excellent support through regular meetings with Sales Executives. These meetings are typically informal, offering a relaxed setting to discuss strengths and areas for development. They’re incredibly helpful in providing guidance and helping me stay focused on achieving my sales goals. This ongoing support ensures I’m always moving in the right direction.
There’s also a real sense of approachability across the business. It doesn’t feel overly corporate or hierarchical – you feel known as an individual, and that makes a big difference in how supported you feel day to day.”
“The most rewarding aspect is definitely handing over a beautiful Story home to our customers. It’s incredibly fulfilling to be part of their journey and to witness their excitement as they step into their new home. Being involved in that moment of joy is really special.”
“At Story Homes, we’re a close-knit team that values regular communication and mutual support. Everyone is always willing to go above and beyond, sharing their knowledge and expertise to help one another succeed.
What really stands out is the relationship between the sales and site teams. We work closely together on a daily basis, and there’s a genuine respect and understanding of each other’s roles. That strong collaboration helps ensure everything runs smoothly for our customers and ultimately drives better results for everyone.”
“One of the most valuable skills I’ve gained at Story Homes is the ability to identify buying and non-buying behaviours, thanks to the ‘Customer Insights’ training led by our Learning and Development team. This training is, without a doubt, the best sales training I’ve ever received. It has provided me with practical tools and strategies that help me navigate the day-to-day challenges on site, ultimately contributing to my success as a Sales Executive.
Alongside this, working in a digitally-led environment has really enhanced how I present our homes. Our marketing suites are equipped with interactive screens and tools that allow us to bring the customer journey to life in a modern and engaging way.”
“Through a well-defined customer journey that begins at the reservation stage. As the Sales Executive, it’s my responsibility to ensure that this journey is communicated clearly to each customer. I make it a priority to speak with clients regularly, whether it’s weekly or even daily, providing them with updates and offering them the opportunity to ask any questions. This ongoing dialogue helps build trust and ensures a smooth, positive experience throughout the sales process.”
“Story Homes encourage collaboration and communication by setting a clear and shared goal: achieving customer satisfaction. We work together as a team, supporting one another to reach this target. Every week, we hold site and sales meetings with a well-defined agenda that focuses on driving positive outcomes, such has excellent quality scores. This regular communication and collective effort ensure that everyone is working towards the same high standards.”
“What excites me most is Story Homes’ plans for sustainable growth. As the company strengthens its reputation across the North of England, there are great opportunities for career development.
What stands out is that, despite this growth, Story Homes remains a privately-owned, family-run business. That brings a different feel compared to larger PLC housebuilders – decisions are made with a long-term view, and there’s a real focus on quality, people, and doing things the right way.
With investments in new areas of land and a supportive team around you, now is a great time to join and be part of Story Homes’ future.”
“First and foremost, it’s the product itself – I’m genuinely proud to sell a Story home. It’s rewarding to see a customer’s eyes light up when they walk through one of our beautiful show homes.
Beyond the homes, the role is made even better by the tools and support available. As a Sales Executive, you’ll have access to an industry-leading customer relationship management system, interactive presentation boards for showcasing our homes, and constant support from senior management.
What really sets Story Homes apart, though, is the sense of connection. Unlike other roles where you might only interact with your site team and Sales Manager, here you become part of a wider community. From day one, I’ve had the chance to build relationships across regions through training sessions, events, and celebrations like the STAR Awards, sales conferences, and even race days.
It’s this combination of pride in the product, strong relationships across teams, modern ways of working, and an inclusive, down-to-earth culture that makes Story Homes a fantastic place to grow your career in sales.”
