Leverage Your Strong B2B Hunting Skills to Sell Natural Gas Vehicle Technologies & Build a Strong Book of Business with an Industry Leader

Opportunity for a hungry BDM interested in promoting the adoption of green alternative fuels to make an impact in a prime, extended Texas territory.

If you combine proven B2B sales talent with a passion for selling technical solutions and the hunger to succeed, the role of Business Development Manager with Clean Energy offers some compelling opportunities. Consider, you will: Clean Energy is North America's leading provider of natural gas fuel for transportation and a global leader in expanding international natural gas vehicle markets. With experience and expertise built over more than a decade, we are committed to helping our customers -- companies operating all kinds of fleets from the goods movement sector, to refuse and public transit, to shuttles and taxi fleets -- gain the measurable economic and environmental advantages of natural gas fueling. We have more than 1000 employees and are continuing to expand our portfolio of almost 800 stations.

The Requirements

While you have a few accounts to get you started, we're really looking for a rainmaker -- a strong hunter who will fully develop the territory. To be a good fit for this opportunity you will have:
  • A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
  • 5-7 years of experience in business-to-business sales, preferably with solutions sales emphasizing value over price. We will also consider a driven and passionate sales professional with proven success, but less experience. Quick question for you - click here

  • Strong entrepreneurial drive as well as exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to develop rapport and long-term relationships with customers.
  • Familiarity with the Texas territory.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from groups of managers, clients, customers, and the general public.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, Word and PowerPoint, familiarity with CRM systems is preferred.
  • A good head for numbers.
  • Excellent problem solving and analytical reasoning skills.
  • A valid driver's license, proof of insurance and good driving record.
This territory includes Central and Northern Texas. Ideally, you'll live in the Dallas area and can visit the office weekly to build strong internal relationships. We will consider highly qualified candidates who live anywhere in the Texas Triangle. You'll spend the majority of your time out in the field interacting with customers. Depending on your location, you will travel overnight 10% to 15% of the time. Quick question for you - click here

This biomethane fuel is cost-efficient and up to 70% cleaner than gasoline and diesel, making it a smart choice for natural gas vehicle fleets including heavy-duty trucks.

The Role

Opportunity Overview
Reporting to the Vice President of Sales, you will employ a targeted marketing approach to grow the sales of natural gas to a variety of fleet customers, including existing clients and new accounts. Target customers typically include regional and local fleet operators with anywhere from 20 to 400 vehicles. You will work closely with your supervisor and other members of the sales team to gain insight into the industry, learn the technology, and hone your sales skills.

Role Details
This is a highly consultative sale, and you'll learn to explain compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid natural gas (LNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG) technologies to your customers. Far from being a simple commodity sale, you'll be persuading customers to make a significant capital investment, including converting their vehicles from traditional fuels to natural gas. You'll leverage our ZeroNow program and other offerings to help you land and close business. Quick question for you - click here

More specifically, you will:
  • Seek out and research prospective customers through making phone calls, traveling, attending conferences, and utilizing the Internet.
  • Compile lists of prospective customers for use as sales leads based on information from newspapers, business directories, industry ads, trade shows, Web sites and other sources.
  • Manage and grow relationships with various prospects, clients, and partners in the natural gas fuel industry.
  • Establish and develop relationships with local decision-makers (e.g. city council members, fleet managers, public works directors, etc.).
  • Educate the economic and health benefits of natural gas vehicles to local communities, city councils and trade associations.
  • Market to new and existing customers through creation, development, and implementation of various business solutions.
  • Coordinate the planning of marketing promotions, including advertising and special sales.
  • Travel throughout your territory to call on regular and prospective customers to solicit orders, or communicate with customers by phone or email.
  • Estimate demand for proposed projects based on market research and consumer trends.
  • Develop and deliver presentations on Clean Energy services to small, medium and large groups.
  • Develop proposals for prospects.
  • Review and understand station contracts and fueling agreements.
  • Provide input to the management team on new product or service features to be developed to meet current and future customer needs.
  • Work closely with the Engineering department on the development of assigned projects and with the Operations department on station operations and performance.
  • Keep account activities and literature up to date.

More Good Reasons

Long-term career options
We're looking for a professional with the runway to move up, particularly as our business grows. Once you've "earned your stripes" in this role you might set your sights on an expanded territory or a sales management position.

Professional development
If you're the person we're looking for, you are excited to learn about our technologies. In addition, you'll gain a broad understanding of this emerging industry and our business model. We'll also help you hone the skills you need to succeed in this role and beyond, including sales and conflict management techniques, customer service, conversion financing, cost control and proposal writing.

Compelling value proposition
You probably already knew that natural gas burns much more cleanly than gasoline and diesel, producing significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. Clean Energy helps companies and public organizations meet aggressive environmental goals. But natural gas fuel is cheaper, domestically abundant, and it works. And using natural gas reduces America's dependence on foreign oil.

Proven strong leadership
You'll join a team of accomplished, seasoned professionals at Clean Energy, led by Andrew Littlefair. Mr. Littlefair served as President of Pickens Fuel Corp (PFC), predecessor company of Clean Energy, which he co-founded in 1997 with Boone Pickens and was Staff Assistant to then President Ronald Reagan in the Office of Presidential Advance from 1983 to 1987.

Green standard for sustainability
Unlike other fossil fuels, natural gas is increasingly renewable, using biomethane reclaimed from landfill via waste-to-energy solutions. Clean Energy is helping companies and public organizations meet aggressive environmental goals.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive salary and commission, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes all you would expect plus some pleasant surprises, such as a discretionary match on our 401(k) plan, paid time off and more.

Keys to Success

Our sales organization is divided into teams that focus on different verticals, including national trucking (the big rig operators), the refuse / waste industry, and the transit sector (buses, etc.). The demographic you'll target will be from a variety of industries, but in most cases you'll work with businesses that have been in the family for a couple of generations and owners who work with vendors they trust. You'll need to be able to establish rapport quickly, then build on it through a sales cycle that is typically 90 days and longer. 

We'll teach you the technology, of course, but you should be the kind of person who is motivated to go beyond that and learn on your own. You'll need strong self-motivation, the discipline to get out there each and every day, and the resilience to stay upbeat even after hearing "no" a few times. To shine, you will have a "hunter" mentality combined with strong interpersonal skills, a collaborative approach and the ability to influence others.
