Business Development Executive (Commercial Energy Sales)
Basic Salary: £25,000 - £27,500
OTE for hitting target: £65,000+ (exceptionally strong commission and bonus structure)
Location: Preston (Office Based)
Industry: Commercial Energy, with cross-sell opportunities in Telecoms, Water & Waste
 
Overview
 
Our client is a rapidly growing commercial energy consultancy known for exceptional market insight, high-quality data, and one of the strongest commission structures in the North West. They're on a mission to help UK businesses reduce costs, simplify procurement, and secure long-term energy solutions — and they're now looking for a driven Business Development Executive to join their team.
 
This isn't a churn-and-burn sales floor. Our client wants people who want to build something, develop a pipeline they can truly call their own, and grow into long-term careers within the business.
 
What You'll Be Doing

• Speaking with UK businesses to understand their energy needs and present competitive commercial energy solutions.
• You will be working a blend of cold outreach, some warm inbound leads and hot, prequalified data
• Building and managing your own pipeline with a focus on long-term relationship-building.
• Consulting with prospects to find the best contract options and guiding them through the process.
• Cross-selling additional services including Telecoms, Water, and Waste, unlocking extra revenue and bigger commissions.
• Closing deals confidently and consistently while maintaining a high-quality customer experience.
• Contributing ideas, feedback, and experience to a business that genuinely values input and innovation.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
 
Here are the real selling points for candidates:

• The best commission structure in the North West — high earnings for consistent performance, not unrealistic stretch targets.
• Some warm inbound leads + hot, prequalified data — making your day far more productive and far less "cold-calling" focused.
• Career development environment — they want people who stay, progress, and build serious earning potential.
• Strong cross-sell options — energy, telecoms, water, waste — multiple revenue streams to boost commissions.
• A business that invests in long-term success, not short-term numbers.
• Clear, stable progression as the company grows and new teams/functions expand.

What They're Looking For

• Experience in commercial energy sales.
• Strong communication and rapport-building skills.
• Someone who wants to build a pipeline and a career — not just jump deal-to-deal.
• A confident closer who thrives in a supportive but high-performing environment.
• Driven, self-motivated, and coachable individuals.
