Outbound Sales Representative

Onward Climate • Portland, OR

1d • $23 - $24 • Remote

About The Position

This high-impact sales role offers real earnings upside (top sales reps earn $80k+). Outbound sales calling is demanding. Top sales reps thrive well beyond the 2-year mark; for most, the sales pace and job satisfaction fade after 1–2 years. We share those averages for transparency, not to set a cap. Candidates who thrive here view this as a high-reward stage to grow their knowledge about climate and clean energy, hone elite sales skills, and hit sales targets. Every day, we connect people with clean energy programs that matter-voluntary utility offerings that support renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions, ensure a more sustainable grid, and give customers a direct way to act on their values. We bring genuine enthusiasm and professional discipline to every sales call, and we hold ourselves to high standards of quality and compliance. Great sales representatives here don't just hit a number - they move the energy transition forward, one conversation at a time.

Requirements

• Professional US-based home office with high-speed internet, smart phone, and pre-existing right-to-work status required.

• Natural phone presence, proactively handle objections competently and confidently, and sustain energy, empathy, and call quality from the first call through call attempt #80 and beyond.
• Implement feedback between sessions.
• Protect calling hours, track own performance, and show up ready to improve.
