Job DescriptionDescription:
Gabberts Interior Designer Career Path
To be successful at Gabberts as a designer, these are the key things you'll need:
Strong product knowledge - We work with a wide range of vendors and custom options. You'll need to know what's possible so you can confidently guide clients.
The ability to engage and sell - Building trust with clients, understanding their needs, and helping them through the design and buying process is essential.
Resilience - Interior design is deeply personal. You're helping clients make decisions about their home, which can be emotional. Staying grounded and professional is a must.
Motivation - Self motivation is key to success!
The Path to Success
Step 1: Design Assistant (First 6 Months)
Schedule: Includes one evening and one weekend day.
Pay: $16-$18/hr
You'll start by supporting multiple Interior Designers. This gives you exposure to different styles, approaches, and processes. This is also where you get familiar with our vendors, systems, and how we work. This is a hands-on learning phase.
What you'll focus on:
Floor planning
Creating pricing and proposals
Learning basic AS400 functions (inventory, sales entry, scheduling)
Vendor and product education
Supporting designers and helping the team
Step 2: Hybrid Role - Design Assistant + Sales (6-12 Months)
Schedule: Continue as a Design Assistant part-time, with 2 days a week on the sales floor
Pay: $18 + 1% commission on your personal sales
Once you're more comfortable, we'll transition you into a shared role. You'll still support other designers, but now you'll start working directly with clients too. This gives you the chance to begin building your own clientele, with support still in place. The goal will be to achieve $250K in sales and that can be achieved by focusing on the following skills and behaviors:
Engaging with clients on the floor
Understanding their needs and offering solutions
Building confidence in sales skills and closing business
Managing follow-up and starting to develop a client base
As your confidence and business grow, we can increase your time on the floor.
Step 3: Interior Designer (After 1 Year)
Schedule: Full-time designer schedule
Pay: 100% commission
Sales Goal: $600K in written sales in year one as a full-time designer
At this point, you'll be running your own business within Gabberts. You'll take projects from start to finish, building relationships and managing every step of the process. The goal is steady growth year over year as your client base expands.
Why This Plan Works
Gives you time to learn the business before taking on full sales pressure
Provides a clear timeline and milestones
Supports you as you build confidence and a client base
Offers opportunities to learn from experienced designers
Sets realistic (but meaningful) sales goals
We can accelerate the plan as key metrics are met.
