Venue Sales Representative in Basingstoke

Octopus Energy has exciting opportunities to join our field sales team as a Venues Sales Representative. We’re changing the landscape of traditional field sales and marketing and reinventing customer interactions. We're focused on making energy greener and better, for everyone. We put our customers first and are looking for amazing people to help us do that!

You’ll be at the frontline of our brand and as such, you’re responsible for showing the best of Octopus Energy and all we have to offer the public! You’ll meet lots of different people, build genuine connections and help customers make choices that are right for them.

What you'll do:

• As a Venue Sales Representative, you will directly engage with customers on a face-to-face basis, to promote our energy tariffs and low carbon technologies, such as solar panels, heat pumps and electric vehicles.
• Our Energy Helpers help introduce these local communities to Octopus Energy as a preferred potential supplier by comparing service and products with other energy companies. This helps potential customers make an informed choice on whether they’d benefit from switching to us for their energy supply at their homes.
• Your role will be to make every conversation count, delivering outstanding customer service while creating a welcoming and positive experience for every new customer you bring on board.

What you’ll need:

• While sales experience is preferred, don't let it put you off if you don't have any; we will help you with that! If you enjoy talking to people, building relationships and helping customers, we’d love to hear from you.
• You don’t need to be the loudest person in the room to be great at Field Sales. We’re looking for people who are confident in their own way, great listeners and genuinely interested in connecting with others.
• A positive, approachable and confident communication style.
• Experience in a customer centric setting where you have come up with quick and effective customer solutions.
• A confident person who is willing to approach customers and maximise every customer interaction.
• You love humans, and bringing customers a little bit of joy by making something easy makes your heart sing.
• You’re a bit obsessive about checking you’ve got things right - it’s your job, not anyone else’s.
• Honest, focused and committed to being an amazing representative of our brand.
• A driving license in order to travel to all our different venues situated across the locations.

Why else you'll love it here:

• £27,300 salary per year + unlimited commission.
• Octopus Energy Group is a unique culture. An organisation where people learn, decide, and build quicker. Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground.
• We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about!
• We won best company to work for in 2022, on Glassdoor we were voted 50 best places to work in 2022.
• We’ve also been placed in the top 10 companies for senior leadership.
• Visit our UK perks hub - Octopus Employee Benefits.
• Hertility: Access discounted hormone, fertility and menopause support, including at-home testing, consultations and tailored guidance.
• We believe great Field Sales teams are built from different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives. We’re committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, supported and able to do their best work.
