The Public Sector SMB Account Executive role is designed to help a new entrant to the position transition from an inside sales role to that of an Account Executive (AE). To maximize our success, we have designed this position to work directly under the supervision of a Senior AE, who will, in turn, have oversight from the cognizant Regional Vice President (RVP) and Area Vice President (AVP). The AE will work with the Senior AE in researching organizations, personnel, opportunities and the partner ecosystem. With that information they will collaborate with the RVP to develop and implement a business strategy. The SMB AE is also tasked with improving sales in the territory by leveraging the partner sales community. Collaborating with the partner ecosystem to identify, develop, accelerate, up-sell and close transactions is critical. The focus is aimed at net new, incremental sales opportunities where success will most likely be achieved by collaborating with partners to identify, develop, accelerate, up-sell and close transactions.
