What you will be doing:
You will be driving growth with the Vanco Events K-12 product. You will be responsible for growing net revenue through selling new enterprise deals and renewing existing events clients. You will manage the sales pipeline from beginning to end, including working marketing qualified leads. As the product grows, you will have the opportunity to lead an SDR and client success reps.
Competencies:
1) Deep Product Knowledge & Technical Proficiency: Understanding Vanco Events inside and out, including its features, benefits, and limitations, is crucial. This knowledge helps the sales executive to effectively communicate how the product addresses specific business challenges and aligns with the client’s needs.
Ability to convey technical details to non-technical stakeholders, while demonstrating the product's capabilities.
2) Solution Selling & Consultative Approach
Being able to engage in consultative selling, where the sales executive actively listens to the prospect's pain points and business objectives, is vital.
The focus should be on crafting tailored solutions using the SaaS product, highlighting the value and ROI, rather than just selling a generic product.
3) Relationship Building & Account Management: Cultivating long-term relationships with key decision-makers and influencers within the prospect’s organization is essential. This involves networking, trust-building, and providing ongoing support throughout the sales cycle and beyond.
Account management skills are also critical in retaining and upselling existing enterprise clients, ensuring customer satisfaction, and identifying new opportunities.
4) Data-Driven Decision Making & CRM Mastery:
The ability to analyze data, track sales performance, and use customer relationship management (CRM) tools (e.g., Salesforce) is essential for forecasting, pipeline management, and decision-making.
By understanding sales metrics (e.g., conversion rates, customer acquisition costs, churn), the account executive can optimize their strategies, prioritize high-value prospects, and achieve quota targets.
These competencies, when combined, enable an enterprise sales account executive to effectively manage complex sales cycles, build strategic relationships, and drive the growth of a SaaS product within large organizations.
