Our History

Rachel Christenson and Mark Jewell launched Selling Energy in its current form in 2011 with the goal of transforming the way companies in the energy efficiency and renewables industries go to market with their products and services. The company was originally founded in 1993 and operated as Energy Efficiency Funding Group, Inc., an energy efficiency consulting firm, until it was put on hold in 2000 when Mark founded a venture-capital-backed firm in the energy space and served as its CEO for nearly ten years.

At the dawn of a new decade, it became obvious that the lack of sales skills was not unique to the energy space. Sales, which drives a multitude of trickle-down benefits in the economy, is now the second hardest job to fill in the United States. In 2012, Selling Energy stepped up to fill a critical educational void for new and incumbent works by expanding its curriculum to offer sales training workshops applicable across a broader variety of industries.

In 2017, Mark Jewell received the prestigious Stevie® Award for “Sales Training or Education Leader of the Year.” His first book, “Selling Energy: Inspiring Ideas That Get More Projects Approved!” quickly became a Wall Street Journal bestseller and won accolades from the Axiom Business Book Awards and the Reader Views Annual Literary Awards. The book continues to be on Amazon’s list of best-selling audiobooks. Selling Energy has been featured for multiple years on Selling Power’s list of Top 20 Sales Training Companies, the Inc. 5000, and the SF Business Times list of fastest-growing private companies. Clearly, Selling Energy’s message resonates well in a world where neither academic institutions nor real-life workplaces provide sufficient training in energy-solutions-focused professional selling.
