What You’ll Do

• Own the full net-new sales cycle from prospecting and discovery through proposal development, negotiation, and contract close.
• Source and qualify leads through outbound efforts, industry networking, conferences, and inbound inquiries. Collaborate with Marketing to convert MQLs to SQLs using consistent qualification criteria and documented handoff standards.
• Manage and maintain an active pipeline of prospects; consistently report on pipeline health, deal stage progression, and forecast accuracy.
• Engage the Insights Team to refine value propositions, highlight relevant findings, and customize sales materials so that conversations resonate with buyer challenges and strategic goals.
• Negotiate pricing, terms, and conditions with prospective clients while maintaining alignment with KLAS’s value proposition.
• Ensure a seamless handoff of newly acquired clients to Engagement Partners for onboarding and long-term relationship management post-contract signature.
  
  

What You Bring

• A strong foundation in B2B consultative sales, with the ability to lead executive-level conversations
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build credibility quickly
• A strategic mindset with the ability to connect client pain points to meaningful solutions
• Strong organization and time management across multiple deals and priorities
• A collaborative approach, working effectively with Marketing, Insights, Research, Legal, and Engagement teams
  
  

Experience & Education

• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota for new business acquisition
• Bachelor’s degree required (Business Administration, Healthcare Management, Marketing, or related field preferred)
