• Build and maintain 4–5x pipeline coverage through disciplined outbound execution and strategic account targeting.
• Forecast with greater than 90% accuracy, reviewed weekly and monthly with sales leadership.
• Conduct high-impact discovery and present tailored solutions using structured sales methodologies such as MEDDIC, SPIN, or Sandler; candidates should be able to articulate their approach.
• Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene in Salesforce, ensuring deal stages, next steps, and notes are accurate and updated weekly.
• Ensure consistent and effective use of Outreach by maintaining strong sequence hygiene, including accurate enrollment, timely follow-ups, and alignment with GTM cadences.
• Continuously refine messaging and sales processes based on market feedback, performance data, and coaching input.
• Proactively seek coaching, feedback, and development opportunities to improve performance and win rates.

Objectives & Key Results

• First Deal: Close an initial new-logo deal within 60–90 days.
• New Logos: Close 5–8 new logos per month.
• Quota Attainment: Meet or exceed monthly new-business targets of $45K.
• Pipeline Generation: Self-generate at least 45% of total pipeline.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency with Salesforce, Outreach, or similar sales tech stack.

What We'd Like You To Have

Success Will Require

• Outbound Account Prospecting & Territory Strategy
• Sales Methodology: Fluency in structured selling approaches like MEDDIC, SPIN, or Sandler.
• Coachability: Open to feedback, highly self-aware, and focused on continuous improvement.
• Self-Sufficiency: Drives pipeline without reliance on SDRs or Sales Engineers.

Who Succeeds in This Role!
