Technical Tools

SalesAccount Executive

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced sales leader to take ownership of revenue growth across two expanding B2B marketing and technology-focused brands. As a hands-on player-coach, you will initially lead sales conversations and close deals while building a repeatable, scalable sales operation. You will optimize the entire sales cycle, from prospecting and discovery to negotiations, renewals, and account expansion. Working with established CRM systems and automated go-to-market workflows, you will strengthen sales execution and improve conversion rates. You will also recruit, coach, and manage high-performing sales professionals as the organization scales. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will have a meaningful role in shaping sales strategy, driving predictable revenue, and building a successful sales organization from the ground up.

You will lead sales execution while developing the people, processes, and performance standards needed to support sustainable revenue growth.

Own the full sales cycle, including discovery calls, product demonstrations, negotiations, and deal closing, while identifying conversion bottlenecks and documenting successful sales practices.
Recruit, onboard, train, and manage Sales Closers and outbound Sales Development Representatives (SDRs).
Establish clear sales targets, coach representatives through live calls, monitor performance, and implement improvement strategies.
Develop and refine sales messaging, follow-up sequences, pipeline management practices, conversion strategies, and forecasting processes across both brands.
Take ownership of team revenue targets, convert initial projects into recurring monthly retainers, and identify opportunities for upselling and account expansion.
Collaborate with Marketing, Account Management, Go-to-Market (GTM) Engineering, and the CEO to improve lead quality, sales execution, and overall revenue performance.
Leverage Salesforce and existing automated GTM workflows to improve sales efficiency, pipeline visibility, and team productivity.
Monitor key performance indicators, including meeting show rates, close rates, sales cycle length, and revenue per representative.
Provide regular sales performance updates, forecasts, and actionable recommendations to leadership.
Build scalable sales playbooks, processes, and performance standards that support long-term organizational growth.
