As the Head of Sales, you'll be at the forefront of driving our business growth by expanding our client base and nurturing our existing relationships. This is a dynamic role that combines proactive business development with the technical design of solar systems, allowing you to play a key role in helping clients achieve their sustainability goals. You'll also develop and implement strategic sales and marketing initiatives, while leading and mentoring a dedicated team of three sales professionals.

Key Responsibilities:

Proactive Business Development
  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities in the solar energy sector.
  • Build and maintain strong, lasting relationships with key clients and industry partners.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, competitor activities, and market shifts to inform strategy.

Client System Design
  • Collaborate closely with clients to understand their energy needs and design tailored solar solutions.
  • Provide technical expertise during the design phase to ensure optimal system performance.
  • Work in partnership with the technical team to develop accurate and efficient solar panel systems.

Ongoing Client Support
  • Serve as a dedicated point of contact, ensuring client satisfaction and addressing any concerns.
  • Assist clients as they expand or adapt their solar energy systems, offering expert guidance and solutions.
  • Conduct regular follow-ups to maintain and strengthen long-term client relationships.

Business Strategy Development
  • Lead the development and execution of sales and marketing strategies that align with our overall business goals.
  • Analyse market trends, customer feedback, and sales data to make informed strategic decisions.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with company objectives.

Team Management
  • Lead, motivate, and mentor a team of three sales staff, providing guidance and support as needed.
  • Set clear performance targets and monitor both individual and team achievements.
  • Cultivate a positive, collaborative, and results-driven work environment.

This role offers a unique blend of strategic oversight, hands-on technical involvement, and team leadership, making it ideal for a driven professional who is passionate about renewable energy and business growth.

What you'll need to succeed

Are you passionate about renewable energy and ready to lead a dynamic sales team? If so, you might be the perfect fit for our Head of Sales role at Trust Solar. Here's a little more about what we're looking for:
  • Solar Savvy: You'll have proven experience in solar energy sales or a related technical field, with a solid understanding of the ins and outs of solar panel installation.
  • Business Builder: You'll be a pro at business development, with a track record of successfully acquiring new clients and driving revenue growth.
  • Team Leader: You'll have experience managing a sales team and know how to inspire and motivate others to achieve their best.
  • People Person: Your communication and interpersonal skills are top-notch, making it easy for you to build strong relationships with clients and colleagues alike.
  • Industry Insight: Knowledge of the construction industry and technical sales is a bonus, but your ability to assess market trends and identify growth opportunities is a must.
  • Tech-Savvy: You're proficient in Salesforce or other CRM software, using it to track sales activities and manage customer relationships effectively.
  • Flexible & Mobile: You're comfortable with hybrid working-spending three days in our Maidstone office and two days working from home-and are willing to travel as needed.

If you're a results-driven professional with a passion for renewable energy and leadership, we want to hear from you. Join us at Trust Solar and help shape the future of sustainable energy. Let's make a positive impact together.
