About the Role:
This quota-carrying, individual-contributor role manages the full sales lifecycle for a global book of enterprise opportunities — from prospecting and qualification through close and post-sale handoff. It's ideal for a hunter who can build pipeline from scratch, travel up to 40% internationally, navigate long, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles, and close complex global deals. While the role may include sourcing and closing business through partners, its primary focus is direct new-logo and expansion sales.
Because many TrackAbout opportunities involve multinational customers with cross-border operations, this is a global territory. The ideal candidate is energized by working across regions, time zones, and cultures rather than within a single geography.
Prospecting & Pipeline Generation
- Build and manage a robust pipeline of enterprise opportunities through self-sourced prospecting, outbound campaigns, referrals, and inbound leads.
- Research and target accounts within gas, welding, and industrial supply (GWIS), liquid propane gas (LPG), and process manufacturing sectors, as well as other asset-intensive industries.
- Develop and execute account-based territory plans covering named accounts across a global footprint.
Full-Cycle Sales Execution
- Own each opportunity end-to-end: discovery, qualification, solution positioning, ROI/business case development, proposal, negotiation, and close.
- Run structured discovery to uncover asset tracking, compliance, and operational efficiency challenges, and map TrackAbout's value to customer priorities.
- Build and deliver compelling presentations and demonstrations, in partnership with Solutions Engineering, tailored to enterprise buying committees.
- Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals involving procurement, IT, operations, and executive sponsors, often across multiple countries and legal entities.
- Negotiate pricing, contract terms, and legal considerations to close new business and expansion deals that are commercially sound for both TrackAbout and the customer.
Partner & Direct Channel Collaboration
- Prioritize and lead direct sales motions as the primary path to revenue.
- Identify and pursue opportunities to co-sell or source deals through TrackAbout's partner and reseller network where appropriate.
- Collaborate with the Global VP of Sales and regional partner leads to align on account coverage and avoid channel conflict.
Post-Sale & Account Growth
- Ensure a clean, well-documented handoff to Implementation and Customer Success following contract signature.
- Stay engaged post-sale to support a strong onboarding experience, identify expansion opportunities, and protect the long-term health of the account.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date pipeline and forecast data in Salesforce, and participate in regular pipeline and forecast reviews.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience as a quota-carrying Account Executive selling enterprise software, with a demonstrated track record of consistently meeting or exceeding quota.
- Proven experience managing the full sales cycle, from self-sourced prospecting through close and post-sale transition.
- Experience selling into complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise organizations, including navigating procurement and legal processes.
- Demonstrated success selling and negotiating across international markets and cross-border deals.
- Strong discovery, business-case, and consultative selling skills; comfortable engaging both operational and executive-level buyers.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the polish required for C-level engagement.
- Proficiency with CRM and sales engagement tools (Salesforce preferred).
- 4-year college degree preferred (business, engineering, or a related field), or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience selling enterprise software into gas, welding, and industrial supply (GWIS), liquid propane gas (LPG), or process manufacturing, along with existing relationships or network within those industries.
- Track record closing large six- to low-seven-figure enterprise deals with large, multinational enterprises.
- Experience selling inventory tracking, asset management, or IoT/asset visibility software.
- Experience working deals that involve or are supported by channel/reseller partners.
