SalesFirst Recruiting
Gilbert, AZ Full Time
POSTED ON 4/18/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/17/2026

The Company

Our client is a well-established leader in the executive coaching and leadership development space, with a 25 year track record of helping organizations drive transformation through behavior-based communication training. They serve a diverse customer base ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, and have worked with more than 65% of the Fortune 500.


Historically successful through inbound demand and brand reputation, the company is now rolling out a structured outbound sales engine and scaling its sales team from the ground up. This is an exciting opportunity to get in early and make a meaningful impact on both revenue and culture.


The Role

We are seeking on-site Account Executives who thrive in fast-moving, entrepreneurial sales environments. This is a full-cycle sales role focused on outbound prospecting, discovery, and closing deals with HR leaders, L&D executives, and senior decision-makers.


Reps will work closely with internal facilitators (functioning similarly to sales engineers) to align client pain points with modular leadership training and coaching solutions. Sales cycles average just over a month, and opportunities range from high-velocity wins to multi-touch enterprise engagements.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Drive outbound prospecting efforts, using a mix of cold outreach and curated lead lists
  • Set 3–5 qualified meetings per week through outbound activity
  • Own the full sales cycle: discovery, proposal, negotiation, and close
  • Lead discovery calls to identify pain and goals
  • Advance qualified leads through BANT (Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline)
  • Collaborate with internal solution facilitators for deeper technical alignment
  • Engage with a wide range of decision-makers, from HR managers to the C-suite
  • Contribute to the evolving sales playbook and outbound motion


You’ll be successful here if you:

  • Have 2–6 years of outbound B2B sales experience
  • Are polished, professional, and confident engaging senior-level buyers
  • Can run a structured discovery process and articulate client pain
  • Bring a “hunter” mindset and are energized by building something new
  • Are motivated by personal growth, career trajectory, and purpose-driven work


Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary: $70,000–$75,000
  • OTE (Year 1): $130,000–$150,000
  • Uncapped Commissions
  • Paid biweekly
  • Multiple monthly SPIFFs in place
  • Medical, Dental, Vision
  • 401(k)
  • Unlimited PTO


Location Requirement

This is a fully on-site role based in Gilbert, AZ. Flex start/end times (e.g., 6:30–3:30, 8–5) are permitted, but in-office presence is required.

Salary : $70,000 - $75,000
