Eco2Solar are pleased to announce a new and exciting opportunity for the right candidate to join the UKs leading Solar PV Installation Company in the New Build Housing sector (who were recently invested in by EON) as a New Business Sales Executive, based in our Kidderminster office.

About the role

The New Business Sales Executive role offers the right candidate the opportunity to build, develop and grow their career with a highly reputable and growing company.

Due to our exciting growth plans, the New Business Development Manager will be solely responsible for finding and onboarding new customers to grow our market share over the next 5 years. Focused exclusively on new business, you will be responsible for generating your own leads and contacts, seeking meetings, conducting presentations, generating new opportunities, and closing deals to hand over to the customer success/operations team to deliver. You will work closely with a marketing coordinator who will provide support.

You will be focused on value (not cost) and have a consultative technical sales background/approach in B2B sales with experience in conducting new business meetings (virtual and in-person).

You will conduct new business opportunity meetings with senior directors of new build housing developers, generate and close new enquiries, and continually drive new business through to the customer success team to increase our market share.

You will work closely with the Director of Sales and Commercial Sales Manager to attend high-level new business meetings, conduct negotiations and secure contracts for Solar PV systems on new build housing developments across the UK.

Having the ability to work both as part of a team and also take overall responsibility for your personal workload, whilst delivering excellent levels of service is essential. A desire to put our clients’ needs first and a thirst to develop your own skills is a key part of fitting into this established team.

About you

To be successful in this role you’ll be results-driven and have experience working in a sales environment generating new business sales along with a technical sales background. You will be able to demonstrate your ability to add value to customer propositions to increase margins and win business. You must have excellent communication and presentation skills, attention to detail, and be reliable and a team player. You must have good computer skills and be familiar with using all Microsoft programmes and ERP/CRM systems. Understanding of NetSuite would be desirable but not essential.

If you have the ability to show initiative, problem solve, and multi-task, this role will be ideal for you!

We are looking for people with integrity, passion, and a determination to make a difference for the future to join our team and be a part of our future success. We don’t care about experience or your qualifications – just your attitude and core values. If you have integrity, passion, and a determination to do everything you can to make a difference for the future then we want you on our team!

You’ll be working across a number of areas so strong organisational skills are also a must. You’ll also have a strong team ethic, a pro-active attitude, and be able to demonstrate strong collaborative behaviours within a team and across the organisation. Our team consists of hungry, smart yet humble people, so if you have these virtues then we want to work with you!

What we offer

You’d be joining a highly reputable and growing company who have a real passion for sustainability, eco systems and delivering a first-class service to their customers. We’re offering a competitive salary of £45,000 - £50,000 pa, along with 34 days annual leave (including Bank Holidays and a day for your birthday), an electric car allowance, contributory pension scheme, monthly wellness benefit, and access to the holiday purchase scheme (you can buy and sell up to 5 extra days per year).
