Basic salary £24k to £30k + uncapped commission   We are on the lookout for highly motivated individuals who have a passion for selling to join our outbound sales team. Here at The Energy Supermarket, we recognise and reward hard work and are dedicated to developing our people so that they can realise their full potential. With a commission scheme that pays up to 20% of generated revenues we provide OTE potentials more than £35k (our top performing lead generators currently earn more than £45k). Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm with regular early finishes on Fridays. No weekend or Bank Holiday working. Annual target to get the full month of December off paid!  

• The Role

You will be contacting businesses over the telephone, making them aware of the various services we offer and how those services can be of benefit. You will be looking to identify key decision makers and gather information around the organisation’s current contract situation and other needs. You will be using our bespoke CRM system to manage your accounts. You will pass leads to the Senior Account Manager who will price and close any opportunities – of which you will share any derived commission. We will constantly develop you in this role but, those who excel will be given additional training to gain promotion to an Account Manager.  

• The Challenges

80% of people don’t have the necessary skills to work in outbound sales. Telesales is never an easy ride, and this position is no different. Competition, market saturation, reluctance from prospects to enter conversations and the repetitive nature of the role are all things that you will encounter. 98% of calls will end in failure. We make all our revenues from the remaining 2%.  

• The Upside

You will get to work in a great environment with great people. You will have excellent earning potential. You will get constant development – building selling skills and character. Regular team building activities and excellent incentives like nights out, karting and our annual sales target to get December off paid!  

• Should you apply

If you answer yes to any of the below, we’d like to hear from you: Are you currently in a sales position getting the results without being rewarded? Do you feel like you’ve got no ability to increase your earning potential? Does your current job feel like it’s leading you nowhere? Do you run out of money before the end of the month? Would you like to go on holiday more often? Would you like to be able to provide a better life for your children? Selling is one of the oldest professions in the world and one of the hardest to master. However, those that do, build skills that will stay with them for life. If you want to learn more about us, apply for the role and the first thing we’ll do is arrange a call to talk you through what’s on offer and answer any questions you have. If you like what you hear, we’ll invite you in for a chat and a look around. If we’re a good fit for each other, we will offer you a start date and your career with The Energy Supermarket will begin.

• Excellent starting salary that develops as you do

• You will not need any sales experience and not necessarily any previous work experience at all – we get that our best people, at some point, had no previous experience – you just need to possess a good work ethic and a hunger to succeed.

 

• We will provide all the necessary training and support to help you reach your goals and realise your potential.

 

• We get that selling is not for everyone but, if it’s something you find intriguing, read on, and apply to join the team!
