B2B Energy Sales Consultant – Outbound Telesales in Preston

As one of our Energy Consultants, you will run your own book end to end — prospecting, qualifying, pitching, negotiating, and closing. The pipeline is yours; the relationships are yours, and the commission is entirely yours! It’s a more challenging path than working within a team structure, and it’s not for everyone. But if you are self-sufficient, commercially aware, confident, and motivated by ownership, it’s one of the most rewarding models on the Northern Gas and Power sales floor.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prospecting and pipeline building: making 50–80+ outbound calls per day to identify and engage new business opportunities through cold-calling.
• Full sales cycle ownership: from first conversation to signed contract, including pricing discussions, supplier negotiations, and tender management.
• Account management and renewals: building long‑term customer relationships that enhance your reputation and NGP’s.
• Commercial decision‑making: advising customers on procurement strategy, contract timing, market conditions, and risk management.
• Working with the trading and procurement desk to structure competitive offers and navigate supplier dynamics.

What Makes It Rewarding

• You control your own income. Every deal you close is fully yours, no commission-sharing!
• Your pipeline and reputation compound. You become the go‑to person for your clients, potentially winning more business via referrals and renewals.
• You’re supported, not micromanaged. You’ll be mentored by experienced managers and coaches with the full trading desk behind you.
• Progression is based on performance, not tenure — progression from consultant to closer and beyond is possible with hard work.

What’s In It for You

• Uncapped commission.
• 23 days holiday + additional December leave (fully paid December off) + bank holidays.
• Access to Simply health (money towards dental care, eyesight checks, physio, etc.).
• EV salary sacrifice scheme.
• Access to gyms and on‑site fitness facilities.
• £2,000 Refer a Friend bonus.
• Exciting incentives for excellent performers.

Why Preston?

• You’ll be part of the founding team at our brand‑new Preston office — Premium city‑centre workspace with air conditioning throughout, meeting rooms, breakout areas, and modern technology.
• Preston is one of the fastest‑growing cities in the North West, with excellent transport links (M6, M55, M61), a mainline railway station, and a vibrant city centre with cafés, restaurants, and bars on your doorstep.
• No more commuting to Bolton, Blackpool, or Kirkham — if you’re in Lancashire, this is the energy sales role on your doorstep.
• Ground‑floor opportunity: shape the culture, set the standards, and build something from Day 1.
• Same pay, same benefits, same technology, same support as our Gateshead HQ — but in your backyard.
• 40+ parking spaces, or a short walk from Preston station.

Your First 90 Days

• Weeks 1–3: Intensive training on energy markets, procurement processes, CRM systems, and NGP’s commercial approach.
• Weeks 4–8: You’re prospecting with support. Your manager and coaches review your pipeline, sales strategy, and help you structure your first proposals to get those early wins.
• Weeks 9–12: You’re operating independently with a growing pipeline. First commissions land.

This is for you, if:

• You have at least 1–3 years of B2B sales experience, ideally in the energy sector, having managed your own pipeline end-to‑end.
• You’re self‑motivated and commercially sharp — you can manage a sales cycle from prospecting through to close.
• You’re comfortable building relationships over the phone and face‑to‑face with finance directors, energy managers, and C‑suite decision‑makers.
• You want ownership — your clients, your commission, your career trajectory.
• You are coachable, competitive, and motivated by both recognition and financial reward.

This is not for you if:

• You’re looking for a role where leads are handed to you.
• You’ve never managed your own sales pipeline before.
• You prefer a structured team environment over individual accountability.
• You’re not comfortable with cold‑calling and outbound prospecting.
• You want to work remotely — this is office‑based in Preston, Monday to Thursday (WFH Fridays).
