Account Manager (B2B Sales) - Cincinnati, OH

Account Manager

Universal Energy Solutions is hiring full-time Account Managers to join our Cincinnati team, serving businesses throughout the local area.

In this role, you'll work directly with business owners to review their electricity and natural gas supply plans, introduce competitive supplier options, and recommend solutions that fit their business needs. You'll primarily manage existing customer relationships while continuing to grow your portfolio through new business development.

Unlike many sales positions where every month starts at zero, you'll build a book of business that can continue generating recurring income through customer renewals and long-term relationships, all while helping business owners reduce their overall energy costs.

Many of our Account Managers have been with us for 10+ years because they've built a "businesses within the business" creating recurring income from customer relationships they've nurtured over time.

We also believe the best leaders are developed from within. As we continue expanding into more than 20+ markets over the next few years, we're creating new leadership opportunities for Account Managers who want to grow with us long term.

Your day begins at the office, where you'll connect with your team, prepare for the day ahead, and follow up with existing customer accounts before heading into your assigned territory. From there, you'll determine the best way to optimize your day as you crush your goals. Typical responsibilities included:

• Build lasting relationships with existing commercial customers.
• Support customers through future renewals and ongoing energy needs.
• Prospect for new clients by meeting face-to-face with local business owners and decision-makers.
• Review current electricity and natural gas supply plans.
• Help businesses identify opportunities to reduce their energy costs.
• Recommend energy supplier options based on each customer's needs.
• Develop new business opportunities between customer appointments.
• Build and grow your own portfolio of commercial accounts.
• Travel throughout an assigned territory (typically within a 30-mile radius of the office).

Successful Account Managers come from a variety of backgrounds, but they all enjoy working with people, building relationships, and helping customers find solutions. If you're someone with a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and the drive to continually improve, we'll provide the training and support to help you succeed.

We offer two compensation paths designed to support both experienced sales professionals and those building their careers.

Base Pay + Commission

Base Pay + Commission - competitive compensation structure

• Weekly base pay while you learn and build confidence
• Tier 1 commissions on new accounts (capped)

Commission-Only - maximum earning potential

• Tier 2 commissions on new accounts (uncapped)
• Qualified to earn residual commission on accounts you manage and retain
• Recommended for experienced sales professionals who are ready to hit the ground running

Typical on target earnings range from $65,000$90,000, with many Account Managers averaging $70,000 during their first year. Top performers have historically earned over $100,000+ in their first year, and many long-tenured Account Managers continue earning well into six figures by building and maintaining a strong book of business.

Whether you're already experienced in sales or transitioning from another customer-facing career, we'll provide paid hands-on training as you get started. We're also committed to providing continual career coaching and mentorship to help you build a long-term, successful career with us. We understand that our growth as a company is predicated on the growth of our individual team members.
