Job Description

What We Do: We're on the front lines of PayScale, helping bring aboard new Enterprise customers to PayScale's growing list of over 7,000 customers. We work with Compensation and HR teams to help explore how PayScale's solutions can help them streamline and improve and automate their comp processes using PayScale's SaaS compensation software.

What You Do: You're responsible for an Enterprise territory, comprised of multiple states in the US and Canada, and drive all sales activity in that territory to achieve your annual goal. Work with your Sales Development Representative (SDR) to execute on a territory plan to optimize top of funnel opportunities. Maintain a sales funnel 4x your quota while meeting and exceeding sales objectives. You maintain an accurate pipeline and practice good Salesforce.com hygiene at all times. You're a positive influence on PayScale's culture, in your own way.

Day-in-the-Life: As an Enterprise Account Executive, a typical day may include the following…

• Researching accounts and people in your territory, finding the best target accounts to pursue
• Conducting professional demonstrations of PayScale's market leading compensation solutions, aligning our features and benefits to a customer's needs, wants, and processes
• Following-up on activity opportunities, using strong written and oral communication skills to help a prospective customer down the buying process
• Work with customers to traverse their legal and procurement processes in a timely manner

First Year in Role:

• Month 3: You'll be proficient in presenting PayScale's products and services, including the functionality, value proposition, and how our solutions would fit customer processes. By now, you've started to build your pipeline, possibly have even closed a few deals, and you're starting to find your groove.
• Month 6: You'll have put the pieces together - not winning in every single situation, but also not making the same mistake more than a few times. You've won over a few customers, gotten the feel for what it takes to win, all while continuing to build up your pipeline. You've really gotten to know your territory well, put themes together to repeat success, and have become part of our high-functioning team. Some next-level learning is now possible, you're ready to up your game.
• Month 12: You've hit your ramped quota, learned from your mistakes, and now you're focused on sustaining your success. You've traveled into your territory once or twice, connected with existing customers, and added to the cumulative knowledge of the team. You're itching to revise your territory plan for the next year and keep trying to find ways to take your strategy to the next level.
