Why this role is exciting!

We are growing our sales organization to meet rising demand for our platform. As a SMB Account Executive, you will own a territory of small and medium-sized brands and take deals from first call to signed contract. You will build most of your own pipeline and run a high volume of deals, which is the fastest way to sharpen your craft.

This role suits a seller early in their closing career who wants a manager invested in coaching with a path up market or into leadership. Be the face and name of impact.com to some of the most well-known brands worldwide.

Responsibilities:

• Own your territory: research your accounts, decide where to start, and tailor your outreach to each one
  Self-source most of your pipeline through calls, email, and Linkedln, and track your own activity and conversion metrics every week
• Run a disciplined process on every deal, using MEDDPICC to qualify, surface the business objective, and create urgency
• Lead with discovery before you demo, and qualify out early when a brand isn't a fit
• Build each recommendation from the customer's goals and numbers, sized to what a brand new to partnerships actually needs
• Handle objections by finding out what's behind them, and hold value rather than reaching for a discount
• Learn partnership marketing (affiliates, influencers, publishers, B2B) well enough to talk to a brand about its channel, not just our platform
• Exceed your quota by moving a high volume of deals quickly, with an accurate forecast and clean handoffs to implementation

Does this sound like you:

• One or more years of closing experience in SaaS is ideal but not required. Strong SDRs ready for their first closing seat are encouraged to apply
• A record of earning promotion, such as moving from SDR to AE at the same company
• Attainment you can show in numbers
• Experience with a sales methodology such as MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Command of the Message
• A hunter. Your experience is in winning net-new logos, not managing existing accounts or renewals
• President's Club or similar recognition is a plus
• Ability to work from our New York City or Santa Barbara office a minimum of 3 days per week
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Salary Range: $150-$190K OTE potential total on target earnings (base + commission), per year, plus eligibility to receive Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) grant.
