Hard Sales tough targets - Sales Associate Whitewall Galleries Employee Review

I worked at Whitewall galleries for 4 years, in that time I had exceptional mentors, and a amazing team. This is a company that cares about their employees and there is unlimited opportunity for growth, should you wish to move into different avenues within the company. They care about their clients and go over and beyond to make their staff happy. In my experience it is the individuals who come in with catty bad attitudes that turn over quickly as that type of mentality is not tolerated. Hard work is 100% expected but you are given time to develop your skills and frequent training and feedback is offered.

Starting pay is slightly low but a great commission structure compensates that straightway. Generous raises are given once you put in your time as they value hard working staff.

Inspiring Work Environment: The gallery space is beautifully curated, showcasing a wide range of contemporary and traditional artworks. This provided me with the opportunity to immerse myself in a variety of artistic styles and interact with artists and collectors alike. Customer Engagement: I thoroughly enjoyed building relationships with clients, helping them select pieces that resonated with them. There’s a strong focus on customer service, which allowed me to develop sales and interpersonal skills further. Training and Development: The company provides solid training programs for consultants, ensuring you understand the artwork, sales techniques, and customer engagement strategies. This helped me feel confident in my role, even part-time.

Commission Structure: While the commission structure is a great incentive for full-time employees, it can be more challenging to earn substantial commission in a part-time role due to fewer hours. High Sales Targets: The sales targets can be demanding, particularly for part-timers who may not have as much time to dedicate to achieving them. This can lead to pressure to perform consistently.
