Remote Enterprise Account Executive
- Territory Planning - Each AE will develop a territory plan that includes the key accounts and a summary of the outreach efforts planned to generate sufficient pipeline to achieve quota. Quota target includes $1.5mm of net new sales/ARR. Targeting our Ideal Customer Profiles: Using our ICP definition, AE will develop a list of target accounts that match our Ideal Customer Profile. Building on our installed accounts in gaming, live-streaming content providers, and videoconferencing, AE will develop a list of accounts that possess similar attributes in the tools they have deployed, the metrics they want to improve and the size and maturity of their operations and engineering teams.
- Prospecting - AEs will develop outreach campaigns in conjunction with our Marketing team. Outreach will include email outreach supported by phone calls, trade show participation and follow-up on lead generation activities and inbounds. Outreach will include executives and users. Circonus needs support from both teams to develop the momentum within the prospect's business to consider changing vendors and making a switch. Executive prospecting will focus on business benefits, tools consolidation, centralized visibility and quick time to value. User prospecting will focus on the usability, speed and scale of the system as well as the centralized power of multiple “tools” in the same platform
- Discovery Calls and Meetings - AE will lead the initial discovery calls to help qualify leads. Selling remotely, AE will lead the introductory discussion and establish the next steps in the sales process. Second calls will include sales support from a Technical Solution consultant who can provide deeper technical content to satisfy users and Operations teams.
- Sales Execution - AE will work to develop a broad constituency of supporters within the prospect’s organization, who see value in learning more about Circonus. This consensus building process will include executives and users as we provide product evaluations and proof of concepts to demonstrate our ability to work in their environment. Account mapping and understanding their decision process guides your sales actions and you demonstrate our unique ability to satisfy their requirements. Upsell and Expansion - AEs will need to “land and expand” accounts as we get a foothold in their environment and then grow our presence.
- Negotiation - AE will manage the pricing discussion with clients and provide the business justification required to help our sponsors successfully get the project funded and approved. Closing - AE will support the contracting process and owns the responsibility for getting the Purchase Order and Contract.
- Forecasting - Accurate maintenance of a forecast that includes the Committed Revenue, Best Case Revenue and Pipeline values for each quarter. Forecast hygiene - includes tracking of all opportunities using Salesforce
- Solution selling - Given the technical nature of our solution and the challenge of converting users to a new monitoring solution, we need AEs that can connect the technical elements of our story with the business outcomes that we enable. We want to solution sell and to engage prospects with a future-vision that motivates them to consider the work required in testing and vetting our solution.
- Persistence - AEs need to possess a willingness to take a long-term perspective to building a territory. As with any growth of a territory, we need sellers that enjoy the process of building a territory and laying the groundwork needed to turn small wins into larger accounts. We want to win a small footprint and then grow our presence as we have done in accounts that started with $100K initial purchases that have grown to over $1M recurring.
- Entrepreneurial - We want AEs that view themselves as CEO of their territories.
- Start-up Mindset - We need “can-do” attitude and AEs that understand the early stage company requirements that all employees contribute in a variety of ways to winning and supporting the sales process
- Teamwork - We want team members that enjoy winning together and celebrating our mutual success.
- Athletic approach - We want team members who are ready to compete. We don’t expect to win every sale but we do expect to outwork and outhustle the competition.
