Objectives - The problems you will solve
In your first month, you will onboard, get hands-on with our product, become fluent in our industry, get up to speed with systems, get introduced to your customers, and understand your customer buying centers and use cases:
- Learn our product by getting certified with our SpotMe Academy and by embedding yourself in a virtual event project, an onsite event project, by building your own demo event and by joining an in-person business review.
- Become fluent with our industry personas, competitors, and our industry use cases by embedding yourself in customer projects and presentations.
- Master our sales processes, sales materials, and systems (Salesforce, Google Suite, PowerPoint, Zoom, Gainsight, Gong) to be able to manage a sales lifecycle from customer request to contract expansion deals autonomously; successfully conduct an expansion mock scoping & demo call with sales leadership and pass your sales certification.
- Get introduced to all customers in your portfolio and secure face time with 80% of them.
After 3 months, you have completed your phase 1 account research and planning, and kicked off on account plans including renewal strategy, budget insertion and revenue & usage growth; leading indicators (usage and number of opportunities) are improving after 2 quarters with 2 expansion levers unlocked for each account.
After 12 months, you will have further executed your account plans and achieved an aggregate 20% YoY revenue growth on your portfolio through services and/or software expansion.
What you need to be great at:
- Account leadership: You are above all a true account leader in B2B SaaS or services/consulting - you have managed large accounts ($200K-$2M) in large companies (>500 employees) over time, and you are able to truly understand the decision-making process and buying centers, and establish and nurture relationships with key people to expand scope and volume. You know what it means to operate a global, large-scale account in a first-class fashion.
- Industry expertise with business orientation: You bring SaaS experience selling into critical industries - pharma, financial services, professional services, or tech - with demonstrated experience working with the most demanding customers. Above all, you have a flair for spotting pain points, helping customers form business cases, and guiding them towards execution. Pharma HCP engagement expertise, with all its nuances (medical, commercial, marketing), is a plus but not a must.
- Autonomy and resourcefulness: You make decisions with confidence and don't wait to be told what to do. When you hit a wall, you find a way around it - you are scrappy, creative, and solution-oriented by nature. You move fast and act proactively, even when there is no immediate commercial upside.
- Commercial sharpness: You run numbers quickly, think several steps ahead in negotiations, and understand what truly drives your customers' business. You can build a solid business case that holds up in front of a C-suite or procurement team, and you are comfortable making decisions and forming working hypotheses even when you don't have all the facts.
