Sales Assistant

Entry Level Sales Assistant

Vancouver, BC | Full-Time | In-Person

There’s rarely a “perfect time” to start building experience — but there is value in starting somewhere that actually teaches you how to grow.

Distinct Vancouver is expanding its sales team and is looking for entry-level candidates who want hands-on exposure, structured support, and a role where confidence and capability are built through real interaction.

This opportunity is designed for people who are ready to learn, get involved, and move forward — whether you’re starting out, changing direction, or looking for a more active, people-facing role.

The Role

As an Entry Level Sales Assistant, you’ll represent a nationally recognised client across in-store promotions, pop-up events, and retail activations throughout Greater Vancouver. Your focus will be engaging customers, explaining products and services clearly, and contributing to campaign performance through positive, professional interactions.

This is a practical, face-to-face role — no desk work and no cold calling. You’ll receive full training and ongoing coaching to help you develop strong communication skills and commercial awareness from day one.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Speaking with customers in retail and event environments
• Learning how to present products and services confidently
• Creating positive, professional customer interactions
• Working toward daily and weekly performance goals
• Supporting team activity and campaign delivery
• Assisting with basic setup, presentation, and breakdown of promotional areas
• Taking part in coaching sessions and team development workshops

Who This Suits

• Individuals at the start of their career or exploring a new direction
• Confident communicators, or those keen to develop those skills
• People who enjoy working with others and staying active
• Candidates with experience in retail, hospitality, promotions, or customer service (helpful, not required)
• Reliable, professional team players with a positive attitude

No previous sales experience is required — training is provided.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive weekly earnings with performance-based bonuses and commissions — average earnings around $800 per week
• Ongoing training, coaching, and mentorship
• A supportive, team-led culture that values effort and improvement
• Clear progression opportunities into senior sales or leadership roles
• Varied, people-focused work where no two days are the same

If you’re ready to build experience, confidence, and momentum — without waiting for the “right time” — this role offers a strong place to start.
