The new site will definitely make our sales professionals more knowledgeable and help them feel part of the greater Carpet One Floor & Home community.”

Carpet One Floor & Home’s new sales professional intranet site will include a variety of features to provide information on training, products, best practices and more. Highlights of the site include:

  • My Store: a personalized section that allows each store to post announcements, upcoming events, sale information, etc.
  • Sales Sharpener: a place that sales professionals can find tips and tricks of the trade from some of our top trainers.
  • Best Practices: sales professionals can submit their best practices to be shared with others in this section.
