The Opportunity
A fast-growing, high-performing consultancy in the energy sector is looking to hire a driven and resilient Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join its expanding commercial team.
This is a high-pressure, high-reward role focused on outbound prospecting, booking qualified meetings, and generating long-term pipeline. You’ll engage directly with senior decision-makers across mid-market and large corporate businesses.
This is not a high-volume, entry-level call centre role — success requires a consultative, intelligent approach to outreach.

* Book qualified meetings for senior consultants
* Obtain energy bills to support consultancy assessments
* Build and manage a pipeline of opportunities
* Log all activity accurately within CRM systems
* Handle objections and gatekeepers confidently
* Contribute to improving outreach strategy and messaging
Performance Expectations
* Baseline: ~2 meetings or bills secured per week
* Strong performance: 3+ per week
* Underperformance: <1 per week
* Focus on building long-term pipeline, with sales cycles often lasting 6–12+ months
What We’re Looking For
Essential
* Experience in cold calling, telesales, or lead generation
* Confident, articulate, and consultative communication style
* Highly resilient with a target-driven mindset
* Strong objection handling skills
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment
* Able to commute to a Birmingham city centre office
Desirable
* Experience booking B2B meetings
* Background in competitive outbound sales environments (e.g. energy, utilities, telecoms, consultancy)
* Comfortable engaging senior business stakeholders

* Supportive onboarding with ongoing coaching
Process
* 30-minute initial video interview
* Face-to-face interview in Birmingham
