What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sales Executive-SaaS Solutions position at Success Systems?
Success Systems is seeking a high-performing, full-cycle SaaS Account Executive to drive new customer acquisition and expansion revenue for our cloud-based retail software solutions. The Account Executive will own opportunities from outbound prospecting and qualification through discovery, product demonstration, business-case development, commercial negotiation, and closed-won handoff.
This role is ideal for a consultative seller who can help retail and convenience-store operators modernize their business through software that improves visibility, execution, profitability, compliance, reporting, inventory management, promotions, labor efficiency, and multi-location control.
The successful candidate is highly accountable, comfortable creating pipeline from scratch, skilled at engaging senior business leaders, and disciplined in managing a structured sales process. This is a quota-carrying position with responsibility for both new-logo business and growth within assigned accounts or territories.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end sales process for Success Systems SaaS solutions, including prospecting, qualification, discovery, demonstration, proposal development, negotiation, closing, and post-sale handoff.
- Generate new business through outbound prospecting, targeted account outreach, inbound lead follow-up, referrals, partner relationships, industry events, and account-based selling.
- Build relationships with retail owners, executives, operations leaders, finance leaders, IT stakeholders, merchandising teams, and other decision-makers.
- Conduct discovery to understand customer goals, business processes, technology environment, reporting needs, operational inefficiencies, compliance requirements, and growth priorities.

- Deliver tailored demonstrations and executive presentations that align to each prospect’s use cases and decision criteria.
- Develop compelling ROI analyses, value hypotheses, mutual action plans, proposals, and commercial packages.
- Manage multiple opportunities simultaneously while maintaining a strong, predictable pipeline.
- Create and execute territory and account plans that identify high-value target accounts, expansion opportunities, key stakeholders, and competitive displacement strategies.
- Work closely with sales development, marketing, customer success, implementation, product, and leadership teams to accelerate revenue growth and improve customer outcomes.
- Navigate procurement, security, legal, finance, and executive approval processes as necessary.
- Maintain accurate CRM records, including contacts, account plans, discovery notes, opportunity stages, next steps, deal risks, close dates, forecasts, and competitive intelligence.
- Meet or exceed assigned targets for annual recurring revenue, bookings, new-logo acquisition, pipeline creation, conversion rates, and expansion revenue.
- Monitor industry trends, customer needs, competitor positioning, and product-market opportunities in convenience-store and retail technology.
Required Qualifications
- 3 years of full-cycle B2B SaaS sales experience with demonstrated quota attainment.
- Proven ability to source pipeline independently through outbound prospecting and strategic account development.
- Experience selling to mid-market, multi-location, enterprise, or operationally complex organizations.

- Track record of managing opportunities involving multiple decision-makers and longer or more complex sales cycles.
- Ability to translate software capabilities into financial and operational business outcomes.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level presentation skills.
- Experience using CRM and sales-engagement tools to manage activity, pipeline, forecasting, and account information.
- Data-driven approach to territory planning, pipeline management, conversion improvement, and forecast accuracy.
- Bachelor’s degree preferred, or equivalent relevant professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience selling SaaS solutions into convenience stores, retail, fuel retail, hospitality, restaurants, distribution, consumer goods, or multi-location operators.
- Familiarity with retail operations, back-office systems, POS ecosystems, inventory management, tobacco rebate programs, lottery, promotions, loyalty, reporting, or store analytics.
- Experience selling operational software with measurable ROI tied to margin improvement, time savings, labor efficiency, reduction in shrink, or improved compliance.
- Knowledge of modern SaaS selling methodologies, including MEDDICC, Challenger, Command of the Message, Sandler, or similar approaches.
- Experience selling through strategic partnerships, referral networks, technology alliances, resellers, or channel relationships.
- Familiarity with SaaS commercial structures, including subscription agreements, annual recurring revenue, multi-year contracts, expansion motions, and renewal economics.
