About the Role

Start your year off with a bang! We’re seeking a confident, competitive, and driven individual to join our fast-paced sales team in the fuel distribution sector. You'll manage and develop customer accounts through telephone-based sales, handling both inbound and outbound contact.

Whether you're an experienced salesperson or new to sales with the right attitude and drive, we offer full training and long-term career development.

Training and development

When you join, you’ll follow a structured onboarding and training path:

• A sales induction to get you fully up to speed
• A supportive ‘Graduation Bay’ to practice live sales
• Team-based and 1-to-1 coaching
• Ongoing training and development as you grow in the role

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and grow a portfolio of B2B fuel accounts
• Make a minimum of 55 outbound calls per day
• Create and deliver competitive fuel quotes to win business
• Process orders and deliveries using our internal CRM system
• Provide after-sales support and manage long-term client relationships
• Meet and exceed KPIs and revenue targets
• Build rapport with clients and identify upselling opportunities

What We’re Looking For

• Sales experience (retail, recruitment, call centre, hospitality, etc.)
• Confidence in phone-based communication
• Experience working to KPIs or performance targets
• Competitive, self-motivated, and eager to learn
• Strong computer skills (CRM experience is a plus)

Who Thrives in This Role

We’ve seen success from two main groups:

• Experienced telephone-based sales professionals
• High-potential candidates new to sales (especially from KPI-based environments like retail or hospitality)

This role is designed for career-focused individuals—those looking to build long-term success, not just a short-term job. Most of our top performers hit their stride in Year 2 and beyond, supported by ongoing training and mentorship.

What We Offer

• Base salary: £25,000 negotiable on experience
• Uncapped commission
• Bonus support structure in Year 1
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Modern office with parking
• Regular team-building days and away days
• Supportive, down-to‑earth working culture
• Clear progression and long-term development

If you’re looking to join a fast‑growing, innovative business where your administrative skills can make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

After working in retail technology sales for a few years, I wanted a role where my effort really mattered. I wasn’t sure if my skills would transfer, but I took the leap — and I’ve never looked back. Now in my fourth year, joining Crown Oil has genuinely been life‑changing. The training is second to none, the team is incredibly supportive, and I finally have a healthy work‑life balance.
