Are you looking for a rewarding career in sales? At Black Sheep we offer uncapped earning potential and clear opportunities for progression.
At Black Sheep Utilities, we’re expanding our Business Development team and are seeking driven, ambitious individuals who want more than just a job – they want a career.

The Role
As a Business Development Executive, your primary responsibility will be to make outbound B2B calls and schedule qualified appointments for our Utilities Consultants. You’ll predominantly be working from a proven script, but success in this role comes from your ability to bring energy, confidence, and professionalism to every conversation - using your tone of voice to sound authentic, engaging and genuinely conversational.
You’ll begin your journey in our Training Academy, where you’ll receive comprehensive training and mentorship covering the fundamentals of sales, gain industry knowledge, and learn how to consistently meet and strive to exceed your targets.

- Starting salary of £25-30,000 with an increase after successful probation. Candidates with experience will be placed towards the higher end of the scale based on experience.
- Uncapped commission – top performers regularly earn £1,750+ per month in addition to their basic wage!
- Realistic OTE of £45-60,000
- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays

Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for ambitious and self-motivated individuals with a growth mindset, who will thrive in a high-performance environment and want to progress towards a Utilities Consultant career with a genuine six-figure earning potential.
You will:
- Be able to follow a script while sounding natural, confident and conversational
- Have a strong, confident phone presence and know how to adapt your tone appropriately
- Be comfortable making a high volume of cold calls and staying motivated through repetition and pressure
- Actively use feedback and training materials to improve your performance, taking a keen interest in learning the skills required to maximise your potential
- Demonstrate strong listening and questioning skills, using initiative if the conversation moves beyond the script using the information provided effectively
- Have a naturally competitive streak and enjoy being driven by achieving (and beating) targets for rewards and financial incentives
- Work confidently and quickly with systems to manage your pipeline and activity
- Bring high-energy, be outgoing - you're a people person
- Thrive in a fast-paced, team-focused environment with a positive mindset
- Be committed to building a long-term career in sales
