Sales Advisor

Role Purpose The Inside Sales Advisor is responsible for converting qualified leads into signed customer contracts through a professional, consultative, phone-based sales process. This is not a generic telesales role. The role requires a commercially sharp sales professional who can sell subscription-based, financial-value, and technically enabled energy products to customers who may be sceptical, price-sensitive, comparison-shopping, or unfamiliar with solar and prepaid-led energy solutions. The successful candidate must be able to understand customer needs, explain complex product value propositions clearly, build trust quickly, manage a CRM pipeline with discipline, and close high-quality customers into signed agreements. This JD builds on the original telesales profile, but raises the calibre requirement from basic telesales to technical inside sales, while retaining the core requirements around consultative selling, closing, CRM pipeline management, and customer experience. We are looking for high-performing inside-sales professionals who can sell subscription-based, financial-value, and technically enabled energy solutions over the phone. This is not a basic telesales role. You will need to understand customer needs, explain complex product value clearly, build trust with sceptical customers, manage your CRM pipeline with discipline, and close customers into signed contracts. Experience in insurance, telecoms, SaaS, financial services, Solar, Energy, Fibre, or other contract-based product categories will be highly advantageous.
