MPN Capital Markets

To start, MPN Capital Markets adds significant value to businesses, specializing in saving companies substantial amounts of money. Notably, MPN does not take any direct fees from the clients they work with. However, as a Business Development Representative (Team A member), the compensation structure can feel challenging and unfair. When I first joined, I was enthusiastic about the opportunity, but over time, it became clear that even if you successfully book meetings and close deals, the commission split does not adequately reflect the effort and energy you put in. Currently, Team A members receive a 30% commission, while Team B receives 70%.
Additionally, commissions are not paid out in a lump sum; instead, they are distributed monthly. For example, if my commission for a one-year deal is $1,200, I don't receive it all at once. Instead, it's paid out as $100 per month over the course of 12 months.

To foster a more equitable workplace, this compensation process needs to be revisited, especially for Team A members. Options to consider include increasing the commission split for Team A OR providing the full commission payment upfront OR at least offering 70% of the commission at the start. This ensures at motivation for Team A members instead of feeling like their work means nothing and holds no weight. 

- A typical day at work: 
Start off the day with a team meeting, then the mornings and afternoons are a mix of prospecting, meetings with clients and managing accounts.

- What you believe you learned
I learned a lot about Ontario, Alberta and Quebec's deregulated energy markets and energy procurement strategies - continue to learn about new markets as we expand into new areas

- Management:
Management in MPN is tough but fair, which is necessary in this industry. They want to see you grow and succeed but you have to be committed.

- Workplace Culture:
The workplace culture at MPN is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Overall a very supportive workplace culture.

- The hardest part of the job:
Hardest part of the job is that the length of the sales cycle can vary significantly. When dealing with energy cost management for large companies there is a lot of internal review and red tape that they need to go through before they move forward with your deal. Patience is necessary

- The most enjoyable part of the job
Being part of such a great team - Genuinely some of the nicest people you'll meet. Also, having the opportunity to earn uncapped commission is a plus. 


MPN is an incredible place to work where your work ethic dictates how much your earnings will be. The more effort you put in the greater the results.

I've been with MPN for almost 2 years now and it has been an incredible experience and would say to anyone starting with MPN if you want a career, then this is the job to make something a career. With potential for extremely high earnings long term this job is what you make of it if you stick with it and grind.

Also the company has great incentives, quarterly,  and Annually. all of which are very attainable which is incredible. 

I would recommend MPN to anyone looking for something long term as this is the place to have the best earning potential and connection building out there.

MyPower Network is an extremely fun and rewarding work environment, with incentives in place almost at all times to drive everyone towards better results. We have many team activities, ranging from group lunches in the Byward Market to Redblacks games. Everyone actually cares and wants to be here, which can easily been seen in the office moral. The Chief Happiness Officer is around to cheer up anyone who may need it, in the form of a Golden Retriever. My time so far at MyPower Network has been extremely rewarding in many ways, I've learned so much and continue to learn new things every day. I would definitely recommend MyPower Network to anyone who is seeking a challenging but rewarding work environment.

I have been with MPN through their expansion, previously operating in Quebec only, to now Canada-wide.  I started as an admin and moved through to a Director role.

A typical day consists of team meetings, customer meetings, processing rep & customer requests, data reporting, etc.

I have learned a ton about all aspects of managing a business.  There is a lot to learn with a growing company & I am thankful for the opportunity.

The best part of the job is changing customers' views on the industry & working with people who share our core values.

The hardest part of the job is the pressure.  MPN has high expectations & in turn, great team / individual results but you have to be able to manage that.

Working at MPN Capital Markets has been extremely eye-opening. The job is hard but rewarding. Although there is no salary, it is seen as a goal to reach - which is great for the competitive spirits out there. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone who is looking to "get rich quick" or to get a quick and easy pay check. 

However, if you are setup and willing to take a risk to bet on yourself - this is the place to do it. The people I have met and seen succeed in this business is incomparable to any place I have seen/worked at in the past. 

The management is fantastic and supportive. The community built here is competitive, helpful and wants to see you succeed. 

MPN is overall a great company to work for. Extremely flexible work schedule, great service it is offering in the market so it is quite an easy service to sell over the phone. My only gripe with MPN is the lack of income you start out with. If your performance is only average or less and you have a lot of expenses, I am unsure of how people can take the leap of faith with this job.

Other than that, if you are a high performer, the opportunities at MPN is unmatched. The sales team is extremely supportive and helpful, the CRM tools allow for high output and efficiency, and the ceiling for growth is quite literally limitless. The key with doing well at MPN is patience and persistency 

If you want experience in business development / cold calling, fine. If you want to be paid for your hard work, don't consider this role. They advertise a ton of really attractive incentives around and sell you on how you could POTENTIALLY earn lots of money if you're dedicated. After almost two months of hard work and little to no hope of any progress in making a real sale (making any money). You're doing free labor for a company that's constantly hiring people because nobody stays when they get paid $0/hr after following all advice. If you don't like talking on the phone, don't even consider this. 

Working in sales at MPN is a great opportunity for driven, long-term thinkers.  The work is not easy, but the service offered is of value to the clients and the potential recurring revenue generated can be significant.

Turnover is high due to the commission-only compensation most reps receive, but those that stay the course can be rewarded handsomely.

The office is casual and fun and the leadership team are constantly introducing contests and incentive bonuses that keep everyone striving towards their goals.

I also found the initial (and ongoing) sales training to be very informative and helpful, especially as it relates to cold calling techniques.

If you want to work weeks even months without getting any sort of guaranteed income this is the place for you. Hope you don’t have any bills to pay ! You have to cold call and convince random businesses to buy into what your offering in a era where cold calling is dead. Don’t even waste a day here. Take a real sales job with base + commission pay. You’ll thank yourself later. You could do everything in your power to convince a person in power to buy into what you have to sell then when management meets the business they could turn around and make the sale and tell you it fell through and leave you with nothing stealing all the money you could of made. The kicker ? You will never know.
