We're looking for a driven, relationship-focused sales professional to help grow our Industrial & Commercial customer base. If you're an experienced B2B salesperson who enjoys winning new business and developing opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.

Experience in the energy or utilities sector isn't essential. If you've been successful in any B2B sales environment and a passion for technical sales, we'll provide the industry knowledge and support you need to succeed.

We deliver safety, warmth, and comfort to homes and businesses. Every role, whether in the office or on the front line, plays a key part in this mission. Here’s how you will contribute…

• Identify market opportunities and develop plans to grow Evolve's presence in the commercial sector.
• Maximise sales opportunities to achieve and exceed sales targets.
• Maintain accurate records of sales activity, including calls, meetings, presentations, sales, and follow-up actions utilising the Evolve CRM system.
• Build and manage a pipeline of prospective clients through referrals, cold calling, networking, email, direct mail, and other business development activities.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with new and existing clients to generate referrals and repeat business.
• Build and manage relationships with government departments and other key stakeholders to support business growth.
• Build strong relationships with clients at both middle and senior management level, ensuring excellent customer service and high levels of customer satisfaction.
• Work closely with Key Account Managers and other gas industry professionals to maximise commercial revenue.
• Support the Business Development Manager in identifying and progressing opportunities with large industrial customers.
• Provide weekly, monthly, and ad hoc reports to the Business Development Manager.

What you will need

We're interested in talented sales professionals who can demonstrate:

• A proven track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets in a B2B environment.
• Experience developing new business alongside managing existing customer relationships.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and presentation skills.
• The ability to overcome internal and external objections to progress connections is desirable.
• Strong relationship-building and customer service skills.
• Attention to detail.
• The ability to plan, prioritise and manage your own sales territory.
• Project management skills.
• Commercial awareness with good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Confidence, resilience, initiative and a genuine passion for delivering results.

Not sure you meet every requirement?

Research shows some people – particularly women and those from underrepresented backgrounds – may hesitate to apply unless they meet every criteria. At Evolve, we value diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

If this role interests you but you’re not sure you tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you. You might be just who we’re looking for – now or in the future.
