Remote Business Development Executive / Appointment Setter
Switching Made Simple is looking for a confident and motivated Business Development Executive / Appointment Setter to join our growing team.
This is a fully remote, commission-based opportunity with no fixed salary. Earnings are directly linked to the qualified appointments and customers you generate.
The role
Your main responsibility will be to contact UK businesses and identify potential opportunities for our business energy team.
- You’ll be provided with business data to work through and will use our cloud-based telephone system to make outbound calls.
- Your role is focused on generating qualified appointments. You will not be expected to provide energy quotations or close the energy contract — our sales team will handle that part of the process.
Your day-to-day responsibilities
- Make outbound calls to UK businesses
- Speak with business owners and relevant decision makers
- Introduce Switching Made Simple and our business energy service
- Identify businesses that may benefit from reviewing their energy arrangements
- Qualify potential opportunities
- Arrange appointments for our sales team
- Keep accurate records of calls and outcomes
- Follow up with interested businesses where appropriate
- Work towards agreed activity and appointment targets
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Commission structure
You will receive:
- £15 for each qualified appointment that attends
- £50 when a customer generated from your appointment becomes a validated sale
- £150 when that customer’s energy contract goes live
This means a customer generated by you can result in up to £215 in commission.
There is no limit on the number of customers you can generate.
Commission is subject to the relevant appointment, sale and contract meeting the agreed qualification criteria.
What we’re looking for
Previous experience in sales, telesales, appointment setting, recruitment, business development or another telephone-based role would be useful, but previous energy industry experience is not required.
We’re particularly interested in people who:
- Are confident speaking on the telephone
- Have a professional and friendly telephone manner
- Are comfortable making outbound calls
- Can deal positively with rejection
- Are motivated by performance-based earnings
- Are reliable and self-motivated
- Can work independently from home
- Are comfortable speaking with business owners and decision makers

- Full training on our service and calling process
