About the Job

Requirements

  • One or more years of closing experience in SaaS is ideal but not required; strong sales development representatives ready for their first closing role are encouraged to apply.
  • A record of earning promotion, such as moving from sales development representative to account executive at the same company.
  • Attainment that can be demonstrated with numbers.
  • Experience with a sales methodology such as MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Command of the Message.
  • Experience winning net-new customer logos rather than managing existing accounts or renewals.
  • Ability to work from the New York City or Santa Barbara office at least three days per week.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own a territory by researching accounts, choosing where to start, and tailoring outreach to each account.
  • Self-source most of the pipeline through calls, email, and LinkedIn, and track activity and conversion metrics every week.
  • Run a disciplined process on each deal, using MEDDPICC to qualify, identify the business objective, and create urgency.
  • Lead with discovery before demonstrating the platform, and qualify out early when a brand is not a fit.
  • Build each recommendation from the customer's goals and numbers, sized to what a brand new to partnerships needs.
  • Handle objections by identifying their underlying cause and maintaining value rather than immediately offering a discount.
  • Learn partnership marketing across affiliates, influencers, publishers, and business-to-business sufficiently to discuss a brand's channel, not just the platform.
  • Exceed quota by moving a high volume of deals quickly, maintaining an accurate forecast, and making clean handoffs to implementation.

Desired Qualifications

  • President's Club or similar recognition.
