Seals Group

What Seals Group does

Seals Group GmbH is a German B2B sales outsourcing and consulting firm headquartered in Oldenburg, founded in 2020 by Aaron Brück and Philipp Boros. The company provides 'Sales as a Service' to municipal utilities (Stadtwerke) and energy providers across Germany, taking over sales activities either fully or partially — covering lead processing, customer acquisition, commodity sales (electricity and gas), cross-selling, churn prevention, winback, and customer service. It operates three distribution channels: Direct Sales (door-to-door field teams, Außendienst), Digital Sales (telesales), and Consulting, with sales reps deployed in home territories and compensated on a base-plus-commission structure (€2,300 base + €70 per new customer, averaging €4,500+ monthly).

The firm's product portfolio centers on Strom & Gas commodity campaigns, energy services including PV systems and heat pumps (notably as exclusive premium service provider for Vattenfall), and Glasfaservermarktung (fiber optic marketing for utility telecom expansion). Supporting service lines include lead management and qualification, customer service outsourcing, and strategic sales consulting. A technology partnership with eclou provides cloud-based sales-hand tooling, but Seals Group is not a software company — its core asset is a trained sales workforce and a playbook for energy-sector client engagements.

The company reported approximately 50 employees as of 2024, up from 3 at founding, with three sequential office expansions in Oldenburg (2020, 2021, April 2024). Named clients include EWE, SWN, Stadtwerke Münster, SWB, Ahrtal-Werke, EWS Bad Segeberg, and Vattenfall. Seals Group is founder-owned, with no external institutional investors disclosed, and received recognition on the Financial Times FT1000 list of Europe's fastest-growing companies.

Direct peers

• Sellbytel (now Concentrix): Sellbytel was a leading German sales and customer-experience outsourcing firm serving utilities and telecom before its integration into Concentrix. It is the most direct analogue to Seals Group's Sales-as-a-Service model for German municipal utilities.
• Onrequest GmbH: Germany-based sales and customer-care outsourcer with a similar municipal-utility and energy-sector focus. Overlaps with Seals Group in offering field sales, telesales, and customer service outsourcing to Stadtwerke and Energieversorger.
• Competence Call Center (CCC): Vienna-headquartered BPO with German operations providing telesales and customer service outsourcing, including energy and utility clients. Comparable to Seals Group's Telesales / Digital Sales channel and customer-service outsourcing offering.

Broad incumbents

• arvato (Bertelsmann): Large global BPO with a dedicated energy/utilities practice providing customer management, sales support, and back-office services. Broader and more diversified than Seals Group but competes for the same Stadtwerke outsourcing budgets.
• Concentrix: Global CX and sales outsourcing leader (now including Sellbytel) with significant energy/utilities vertical. Competes for the same large-utility outsourcing RFPs as Seals Group but at much greater scale and with broader geographies.
• Teleperformance (TP): Largest global CX/BPO operator with multilingual sales and customer-care services across Europe. Adjacent incumbent competing for energy-sector and telco fiber-optic sales outsourcing work that overlaps with Seals Group's offerings.
• Majorel (now part of TP): European-headquartered CX outsourcer (now merged with Teleperformance) with strong DACH presence and utility/telco clients. Competes for the same German enterprise sales outsourcing engagements as Seals Group.
• Foundever (formerly Sitel Group): Global CX outsourcing group with European operations serving energy, telecom, and financial services. Broad incumbent that overlaps with Seals Group on outsourced sales and customer service for utility clients.
• TTEC: Global CX and digital customer-acquisition outsourcer with significant European utility/telco business. Competes for the same outsourced sales and customer-experience contracts as Seals Group in the energy vertical.

Others

• novomind: Hamburg-based CX software and commerce provider serving German retail, telco, and energy clients. Not a direct sales-outsourcing competitor, but ecosystem-relevant via Seals Group's eclou/saleshand.cloud technology partnership.
