This role may be a fit for you if…
You are adept at identifying and pursuing new business opportunities -- making the contacts, doing the needs analysis, making a strong recommendation, handling objections and closing the sale. You know how businesses work and can navigate the nuances of having decision makers who carry multiple responsibilities. You also know about a lot of types of businesses and are able to quickly understand how the economy, consumer behavior and competitive threats impact your prospects. You thrive on seeing the sales process play out and know how to focus your time on Hot, Cold and Warm prospects. You like the challenge of a high-volume sales environment because you like to win and win often. A 12-month sales cycle is not going to keep you interested in the game. Empathy and a strong sense of purpose and ability to make professional recommendations are requirements of this position.
● Reach or exceed assigned sales quotas and quarterly targets.
● Build and manage a pipeline of prospects from identification to negotiation to execution (80% of pipeline will be self-generated vs. 20% from the lead generation team).
● Support quarterly business reviews for current customers by developing a growth vision for them and partnering with the Relationship Manager to support renewals and upsell/cross-sell opportunities.
● Actively participate in planning and success, which includes quarterly and annual planning sessions, execution of team plan and support of fellow team members, including weekly, daily standups, etc.
● Attend and participate in training and be an active participant in your personal and professional development.
● Work actively with the Partner and Professional Services teams to develop customer solutions.
● 90/10% in the office vs. travel.
● Sales Executives will have an individual component for commission and the opportunity to accelerate.
● Targets (and acceleration) will continue to be quarterly, with rate resets at the beginning of each new quarter
● Strong Customer Focus: Connect customers’ business needs with Return Path products and services. Ability to develop and articulate a growth vision for customer.
● Able to work with channel partners.
● Demonstrate an understanding of the sales process and ability to move a prospect through the process.
● Able to move smaller deals through sales cycle quickly.
● Excellent communication skills. Ability to communicate effectively with prospects over the phone, in person and electronically.
● Strong written communication skills: Create effective proposals, which address the needs of the prospects and outline a profitable solution for both prospect and Return Path.
● Ability to manage multiple competing priorities, and work effectively under the pressure of time constraints in a fast-paced, complex, collaborative, and team-oriented environment.
