What the job involves
- As an Account Executive, you will work closely with French SMBs from various industries, offering them tailored short-term loan solutions to meet their unique financial needs

- You are wondering why it’s an Account Executive role and not a “classical” Sales Representative one? Good question. Our business is driven by repeat. The fire-and-forget approach is not the way to go. We have some customer that did re-finance their companies 20 times. 20 (!)
- Identify and generate new leads through various channels, including networking events, email outreach, and cold calling (even if our acquisition is mainly inbound)
- Qualify leads and assess their financing needs to determine their eligibility for Silvr’s offer
- Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, providing exceptional customer service throughout the sales process… And after!
- Negotiate terms and close deals
- Collaborate with internal teams, including marketing, operations and product, to ensure a smooth experience for customers and spread uncover market insights
- Meet and exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets
- Maintain accurate records of sales activities and pipeline management in the company's CRM system (Hubspot)

Our take
French-based Silvr is reimagining the way that entrepreneurs get funded. Financial businesses have failed to evolve in decades, with banks favouring fund assets despite equity not being the best fit for everyone.
The company empowers entrepreneurs by creating greater access to funding that is scalable and equity-free. Essentially, the company can finance riskier businesses that don’t have assets. It does so by leveraging businesses’ data to predict future revenues and currently focuses on eCommerce companies and SaaS startups. To promote more equality in the fintech space, 29% of Silvr financing has gone to businesses founded by women.
Companies financed by Silvr have reportedly seen, on average, 64% growth just two months after being granted capital, which, given the new funding announcement and the creation of its debt fund, puts the company in a very strong position for further uptake.
