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. Select the APPLY option, pop us your CV over and one of our Recruiters will be in touch!
