Company mission
To help customers create better relationships by delighting event attendees at scale.
Role
Who you are
- Speed, intensity and creativity despite ambiguity: you will move fast and decisively (e.g. calling hot leads within the hour, sending highly personalized pre-call emails to ensure everyone shows up, following up within an hour of any call with next steps that actually get people excited), you never drop the ball and you are consistent and creative with your execution – while dealing with constant ambiguity from the prospect/buying side
- Technical dexterity: you inspire confidence with technology – with the tools that you use for your sales activities, with your understanding of our products and its components, and how it integrates with the broader life sciences HCP engagement stack
- Depth and attention to details: there is "science" in life sciences, and our customers demand meaning and details, you don't get intoxicated by the overall industry jargon, you can break down business, engagement and technology concepts in a way that makes sense and that is relevant for what they want to achieve, and that people like so much they will forward that email to their boss; you are extremely thorough in how you describe the solution and carefully address all possible objections upfront
- Comfortable with the apparent slow sales motion in life sciences: your energy level remains unchanged 6 months into a deal, and yet, you have learned how to avoid specific hoops; you embrace long deal cycles by mobilizing the entire buying center early on
- What we are most curious about:
- How do you know the SMEs inside the company and how do you get them to help you with moving opportunities forward?
- What are 2-3 tactics you have used to get more replies and meetings with your cold/engaged leads?
- What is your opinion on how to confidently address enterprise B2B SaaS pricing with your prospect? What are the mistakes you have seen/made, and what seems to work?
- How do you build rapport/relationships with prospects – in a way that is non-trivial?
What the job involves
- We are looking for an account executive to close new and expansion opportunities ($30k-$2m deals) with our Onomi event-powered omnichannel solution that helps life sciences companies close the HCP engagement gap
- In your first month, you will:
- Get to know our customers, market, software and services offering and problems we solve:
- Rehearse and practice our 2 core sales plays (what we are selling, why it's valuable, target list, persona and pain, what to ask to figure out if they need it (inbound/outbound), objection handling, content/weapons to use, how to talk about pricing, where to go with questions
- Listen to past successful calls and describe success factors
- Run mock emails/calls that convince your leadership and your peers you can do it on your own
- Get a grip on our sales process for acquiring new customers:
- Accurately label engaged lead persona, and translate it into meaningful emails that get you meetings booked and attended
- Confidently handle category entry points conversations, map these into call preparation and apply it to discovery and scoping calls
- Move 5 engaged leads to discovery stage
- In your first 3 months:
- Run organized lead/opportunities pipeline weekly review calls
- Be present at one tradeshow and turn 3 booth visits into discovery calls
- Advance 5 opportunities from discovery to scope stage
- Close a first mid-size ($40k-75k ARR) deal
