Acquisition Sales Specialist - Mid Sized Law Firm

Job Description

The Acquisition Sales Specialist is a quota-carrying, full-cycle sales role focused exclusively on acquiring net-new customers within our Mid Sized Law Firm (MLF) segment. This role is foundational to building a scalable new-logo engine, and your performance will directly shape our go-to-market strategy and long-term growth trajectory.

The product bag will have a heavy emphasis on leading with CoCounsel Legal and CoCounsel and all our AI tools, while also promoting Westlaw/Practical Law and our Partnership products, Supio and DeepJudge and others, depending on the situation and fit/need.

This is an overlay role, but different than other roles and not a support role or a tag-along function. Acquisition Reps own the entire sales process, from first touch through closed won, inside a clearly defined territory. Success is driven by real quotas, operational data, and performance KPIs that measure pipeline creation, conversion efficiency, and closed-won revenue. This role does not include renewals or expansion revenue with existing customers, nor reactive account management unrelated to net-new acquisition.

Each Acquisition Specialist will have a dotted line to a Regional Core Growth Manager and will be embedded with that manager's team to promote collaboration and strategic alignment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle sales of net-new Core Growth MLF accounts (1-49 attorneys)
• Conduct outbound prospecting into white space accounts within the MLF segment
• Perform account research, prioritization, and multi-threaded engagement
• Lead discovery, demos, deal strategy, pricing, negotiation, and closing
• Manage pipeline that supports monthly and quarterly quota attainment
• Maintain accurate CRM usage and disciplined sales process execution
• Collaborate with your aligned MLF Manager to support pod-level priorities and segment strategy
• Attain net-new pipeline creation targets per month
• Achieve closed-won revenue from first-time Core Growth Law Firm customers
• Demonstrate strong conversion rates from target account to qualified opportunity and high win rates on sourced opportunities
• Optimize average deal cycle time while meeting activity KPIs tied directly to new logo production

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in quota-carrying B2B sales or new logo acquisition
• Demonstrated ability to generate pipeline through outbound prospecting
• Strong discovery, qualification, and closing capabilities
• Data-driven, highly accountable, and coachable
• Ability to thrive in a pod model while maintaining full deal ownership
• Finding enjoyment in your job and bringing positive energy to the team
• Ability to test new approaches within established boundaries and pivot quickly based on desired outcomes

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience selling into law firms or professional services
• Ability to challenge the status quo and look for better ways to win
