Enterprise Sales Executive – Leadership Development & L&D Solutions

Enterprise Sales Executive – Leadership Development & L&D Solutions

Location: Remote (United States)
Employment Type: Full-Time or Contractor
Company: LifeGuides

About the Role (Read This First)

LifeGuides is hiring a senior Enterprise Sales Executive to sell PMQ — a leadership development and professional mentoring solution designed to drive real behavior change in people managers.

This role is not for generalist SaaS sellers or HR-adjacent sales backgrounds.

We are specifically seeking someone who has already sold leadership development, coaching, executive education, or L&D solutions to HR and L&D buyers at the enterprise level.

If you have not personally owned deals selling leadership development or learning solutions, this role will not be a fit.

What You Will Do

• Own the full enterprise sales cycle for PMQ , from outbound prospecting through close
• Sell leadership development and mentoring solutions into HR, L&D, Talent Development, and OD teams
• Lead discovery with CHROs, CLOs, VPs of Talent, Heads of L&D, and HR Business Partners
• Position PMQ as a solution for:
  • manager effectiveness
  • leadership behavior change
  • retention and burnout reduction
  • performance and accountability
• Navigate and close complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles (4–9 months)
• Build pipeline independently through relationships, referrals, partnerships, and targeted outreach
• Collaborate with SHRM’s sales team on select opportunities (supporting deals, not owning the partnership)
• Develop new strategic partnerships outside SHRM to expand PMQ distribution
• Accurately manage pipeline, forecasting, and deal progression in HubSpot
  
  

Required Experience (Non-Negotiable)

Applicants must meet all of the following:

• 7 years of enterprise B2B sales experience
• Direct experience selling one or more of the following:
  • Leadership development programs
  • Coaching or mentoring solutions
  • Executive education or learning platforms
  • L&D or talent development solutions
• Proven experience selling to HR and L&D buyers (CHRO, CLO, VP Talent, Head of L&D, OD)
• Demonstrated success closing $30K–$250K deals for leadership or learning solutions
• Experience selling outcomes such as behavior change, retention, engagement, and performance
• Comfort selling “soft ROI” alongside business outcomes
• Strong consultative selling skills in multi-stakeholder enterprise environments

If your background is primarily in recruiting, staffing, HRIS, ATS, HCM, payroll, compliance, background screening, or PEO services, this role is not a fit.

Preferred Experience

• Experience selling leadership or learning solutions through partnerships or associations
• Background with companies such as:
  • BetterUp, AceUp, CoachHub, Torch
  • FranklinCovey, CCL, ExecOnline, BTS
  • Udemy Business, LinkedIn Learning
• Familiarity with SHRM, professional associations, or L&D communities

Compensation

• $100,000 base salary
• Commission based on closed revenue
• Senior individual contributor role — no people management

Who Will Succeed in This Role

• You have already sold leadership development or learning solutions and want to go deeper
• You are comfortable challenging HR buyers and reframing “we already have training”
• You enjoy selling human-centered solutions that require trust, credibility, and patience
• You want ownership, autonomy, and the ability to directly impact growth
• You prefer execution over managing teams
