Job Description
As a SaaS E-Commerce B2B Account Executive, you will be responsible for owning, managing, and driving the full sales process from the first contact through closing new sales. The position requires strong prospecting, effective communication, presentation and closing skills.
SUPER IMPORTANT: WE REQUIRE EVERY APPLICANT TO CREATE A VIDEO AS PART OF THEIR APPLICATION. DON'T JUST CLICK ON "SUBMIT". SELL US ON WHO YOU ARE. NOT INCLUDING A VIDEO WITH YOUR APPLICATION? THAT SAYS YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS. MORE INFORMATION IS BELOW.
Responsibilities:
- Let's be honest - we're hiring you to FIND and CLOSE deals. If this is interesting, keep reading! If this isn't something you excel at, become great at it and then apply for the role! You should be outgoing, personable and passionate about the business you represent.
- This is an outbound role. While you'll eventually be able to mine our CRM for old leads, we're looking for you to do prospecting and identify, target, qualify and pursue e-commerce companies.
- You'll then use your charming personality and consultative approach to network, call and use various marketing techniques to build a relationship with these individuals and demonstrate our value.
- Then you'll aggressively close the deals that make sense for both the customer and us. It needs to be a win-win.
- You'll be measured on a few things - quota attainment, pushes, pipeline, win/loss ratio, days to close, opportunity size, etc.
- At times, you'll attend association meetings, trade shows or travel to meet with prospects or partners. These may be within the US or in other countries. At the trade shows you'll be helping to do everything from setting up the booth to manning it to selling to helping break it down. Nothing is too good for our people! Even the CEO will get people coffee.
- We'll expect you to do things you don't like. For example, you'll need to maintain accurate information of your activities, next steps, probabilities, communications and more within our Salesforce CRM. It's not just schmoozing. You need to capture the information about your schmoozing.
- While you'll be part of the overall company team, we expect you to own your entire sales process from new lead outreach to opportunity management to closing. Even though we will be managing you, we don't want to be micromanaging you. We're focused on results, not on the number of activities.
- Eventually we'll expect you to be able to perform product demonstrations for qualified leads. In the meantime, we'll give you help from our team. But we want to know you're a fast learner.
- We expect everyone to contribute to our sales playbook on a regular basis. Update what works and what doesn't work. Add resources, email and questions examples and more.
VIDEO INFORMATION:
If you'd like to consider the role, part of our process is to have candidates send us a video (private/unpublished upload to Youtube or similar) that showcases what an amazing person you are. Don't make up a personality. Put the one you have front and center.
We'd love to hear answers to the following questions and the video should be no longer than 10 minutes. If you have any questions first, please feel free to email us. But.. no video, no moving forward.
- Intro yourself
- What makes you a great account exec?
- Describe your sales techniques/process.
- Describe how you prospect.
- What other business aspects are you GREAT at?
- Sell us on yourself.
- What objections do you think we'd have to hiring you and how would you respond to them?
