What the job involves
- Revenue generation – Account Executives at Popmenu are experts in stirring excitement for our product! They know how to sell the long-term value of a simplified technology solution, and operate in an accelerated sales cycle (from on-the-spot signatures to just a few days), conducting product demos and closing deals
- Our AE’s are true champions of restaurant success—staying on top of key industry challenges and developing targeted messaging and methodologies that establish credibility and trust, overcome objections, and create urgency and interest in the Popmenu product without overpromising
- Cultivating the Popmenu brand – San Jose is your turf for takeover! The restaurant industry is a close-knit one; Popmenu AE’s know the importance of a network
- Our AE’s spend time with the restaurant community, they connect with owners and operators to understand their challenges and provide a solution that turns prospective clients into Popmenu fans
- Managing client expectations: We aim to be a trusted technology partner for restaurants—that means we stay away from making deals with businesses where we do not add value (i.e., that aren’t a good fit)
