- Identify and engage decision-makers across target industries
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline within your assigned territory or vertical
- Deliver compelling presentations and clearly articulate value and ROI
- Manage opportunities effectively using CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)

- Collaborate with internal teams to ensure smooth onboarding and client success
- Provide market feedback and identify opportunities for growth and expansion
What We’re Looking For

- Demonstrated success closing deals in a B2B sales environment (technology, services, SaaS, or similar)
- Comfortable with high-volume prospecting and cold calling as a core part of the role
- Strong closing skills with the ability to navigate objections and drive deals to completion
- Experience managing the full sales cycle independently
- Highly disciplined, self-motivated, and results-driven
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills with senior decision-makers
- Experience using CRM systems and managing a structured sales process
- Ability to quickly understand and sell complex solutions by tying them to business outcomes
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Experience selling into automotive dealerships or related industries
- Background in SaaS, fintech, or technology-enabled solutions
- Experience in multi-state or territory-based sales roles
What Success Looks Like
- Consistently generating new pipeline through outbound efforts

Application Question(s):
- Do you have direct experience making cold calls to generate new business in a B2B environment (e.g., outbound prospecting to decision-makers outside of inbound or account management activities)?
- Have you personally closed new B2B business deals that you sourced yourself (from prospecting through to signed contract)?
- Have you been responsible for generating the majority of your sales pipeline through outbound prospecting (cold calling, email, LinkedIn, etc.) rather than inbound leads or account management?
