Trelevate Reviews

Constellation, the energy supplier we represented is a solid company. However you are treated as a third world person by their Houston reps. They are marketing oriented at best. Don't question what we are saying and do exactly what you are told. Hard pill to swallow if you've been in sales for any length of time. Drove 56 miles roundtrip to attend morning meeting and give daily goals. Then had to back to area where I live to begin daily call schedule. Was initially told territories were protected only to find out that one rep was being allowed to go where ever she wanted. Trelevate management are top notch con men. Googled the only address I could find, one on our check stub, and it is a residence in a plat in Phoenix. Everyone works from home which explains why you can never get an answer to a question. Its a store front operation. Don't question anything done or you will be labeled as being negative and shunned by local managers. Left after 6 months and took position with energy broker. Couldn't believe the difference. Still have Constellation as main supplier to use but rules are different. Lower electric and natural gas rates from same supplier. Go figure. Can negotiate rate to be competitive and no TPV calls. Have formal business cards with printed name and phone number as well as ability to communicate via emails and letters to clients. A no-no with Trelevate. Better commission structure and NO MORNING MEETINGS.

The number one reason you will not keep this job: You will not be allowed to go re-sign YOUR existing customer, that YOU made a relationship with, when it is time for them to renew. THEY ARE STEALING YOUR PIPELINE. The Client will then handle all renewals from in-house, now nice. A sales job with no renewals or repeat business, are you kidding me?? How long can you last being shuffled around a different territory, that someone just went through mind you, all while having to make new connections constantly?? You can't and you won't. Just pray you do well enough for them to put you into their smoke and mirrors CDP (career development program) so you can get the opportunity to open a new office and be a part of the scam yourself. It's a burn and turn environment and they don't care. And they won't train you with current events in the power and gas industry, it's strictly rah rah go out there and get them b.s. MY ADVICE: IF YOU ARE A CURRENT TRELEVATE EMPLOYEE, TAKE YOUR PIPELINE AND GO TO AN ENERGY BROKER WHERE YOU GET RESIDUALS ON YOUR ACCOUNTS FOR EVERY YEAR YOU SIGN THEM. THAT IS A TRUE CAREER OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU CAN BUILD ON YOUR PIPELINE FOR THE FUTURE. OH, AND YOU WILL ALSO FIND THEY HAVE BETTER RATES FOR THAN YOU DID. OF COURSE YOU CAN'T COMPETE WITH A BROKER WHEN YOU'RE A ONE TRICK PONY AND YOUR TRICK ISN'T AS GOOD AS THE COMPETITION'S. IF YOU ARE NOT A CURRENT TRELEVATE EMPLOYEE, CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY! AND START SEEKING EMPLOYMENT ELSEWHERE...THIS IS A DEAD END JOB ALL THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE PEOPLE WHO JUST STARTED WORKING THERE, IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME BEFORE YOU GET TO SEE THE WIZARD BEHIND THE CURTAIN. LEARN FROM THOSE WHO CRASHED AND BURNED BEFORE YOU AND RUN!
