Client Retention Representative (B2B Sales) - Monroeville, PA
About the role
Build a Career Helping Local Businesses Universal Energy Solutions is hiring full-time Client Retention Representatives to join our Monroeville team, serving businesses throughout the Greater Monroeville 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 support existing customer relationships while continuing to grow your portfolio through new business development. Unlike many customer-facing positions where every month starts over, you'll build a book of business that can continue generating recurring income through customer renewals and long-term relationships.
Why This Opportunity Is Different: Many customer service and sales jobs focus only on solving today's problems. Here, you'll build lasting relationships with local business owners while creating a customer portfolio that can continue producing income through future renewals and residual commissions. Many of our Client Retention Representatives have built long-term careers with us because they've developed trusted relationships with customers who continue working with them year after year. As we expand into more than 20 additional markets over the next few years, we're creating new leadership opportunities for Client Retention Representatives who want to grow into management roles.
