About the Role

We are seeking an experienced, commercially driven Sales Executive to join our team and take ownership of new business development.

This is a full-cycle sales role for a professional who can independently identify and qualify prospects, lead discovery conversations, understand customer needs, present relevant solutions, overcome objections, negotiate effectively, and close new business.

The successful candidate will be highly results-oriented and comfortable working in a remote environment with clear responsibility for pipeline development, conversion, and revenue performance.

Key Responsibilities

- Conduct outbound prospecting through appropriate sales channels to identify potential customers.
- Research prospects and understand their business needs, challenges, budget, decision-making process, and purchasing timeline.
- Qualify leads and determine whether opportunities are a strong fit.
- Lead discovery calls and sales conversations with qualified prospects.
- Build professional relationships with prospects and key decision-makers.
- Ask effective discovery questions to uncover business needs and pain points.
- Present and position solutions based on each prospect’s specific requirements.
- Clearly communicate value and address customer concerns.
- Handle objections confidently and professionally.
- Negotiate terms and guide qualified prospects toward a purchasing decision.
- Manage follow-ups throughout the sales cycle.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date CRM records, sales notes, activities, and pipeline stages.
- Track sales activity, conversion rates, pipeline performance, and revenue results.
- Take ownership of individual sales targets and contribute to overall business growth.
- Continuously evaluate and improve sales approaches based on performance and customer feedback.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a proven sales professional with hands-on experience generating and closing new business.

Required Qualifications

- Proven experience in sales, business development, or a similar client-facing sales position.
- Demonstrated experience personally closing new business.
- Experience managing opportunities through multiple stages of the sales cycle.
- Strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
- Excellent discovery and consultative selling abilities.
- Strong objection-handling and negotiation skills.
- Ability to understand customer needs and effectively position solutions.
- Strong follow-up and relationship-management skills.
- Excellent commercial judgment and problem-solving abilities.
- Ability to work independently and manage priorities in a remote environment.
- Strong accountability, self-motivation, and results orientation.

Important

Appointment-setting or lead-generation experience alone is not sufficient for this position.

We are specifically looking for a sales professional who has personally taken qualified opportunities through the sales process and successfully closed deals.

Candidates should be able to demonstrate their contribution to revenue generation and provide examples of measurable sales results.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role will be measured by your ability to:

- Consistently generate qualified sales opportunities.
- Maintain a healthy and well-managed sales pipeline.
- Convert qualified prospects into customers.
- Handle objections and move opportunities forward.
- Achieve agreed sales targets.
- Contribute directly to new business and revenue growth.

Application Process

To be considered for this position, please submit:

1. Your current resume.
2. A brief professional introduction.
3. A summary of your sales experience, including your closing experience.
4. Your strongest sales achievement, preferably with measurable results.
5. Answers to the following questions:

1. What was your strongest sales win?
Briefly explain the situation, your role, the approach you took, and the result.

2. How do you handle price objections?
Explain your approach when a qualified prospect says your solution is too expensive.

3. What makes an exceptional sales closer?
Describe the qualities, behaviors, and skills you believe separate exceptional closers from average salespeople.



Remote Sales Executive — Application

We are looking for a confident and commercially minded sales professional who can demonstrate a genuine track record of generating opportunities, leading effective sales conversations, and closing new business.

If you have the experience, sales judgment, and drive to take ownership of the full sales cycle, we encourage you to apply.
