Overview

Senior Sales / Senior Account Executive - French speaker at lemlist

About lemlist

lemlist is the sales engagement platform that gives sales teams the unfair advantage they deserve.

Bootstrapped since day one, we’ve grown from 0 to $35M ARR in 6 years, without raising a single dollar. Today, we’re a profitable B2B SaaS company valued at $150M, trusted by 40,000+ sales teams worldwide to book more meetings and close more deals.

This is a highly entrepreneurial job in a company that has grown only in self-service/PLG and is now structuring a sales force.

Please read carefully and only apply if you speak French fluently.

Mission

Your mission is to acquire high-quality customers for lemlist - our Sales Engagement Platform - and, more generally, lemlist's product.

You will be in charge of the full sales cycle, including prospection, negotiation, the closing phase, and even customer onboarding.

You will focus on companies with 100 to 1,000 employees in various industries and sales teams between 5 to 100 people in various industries.

You'll be both leveraging Inbound (Demo Requests and Product-Led Sales teams) and Outbound (using lemlist to find prospects) - "eat your own dog\'s food"

Key Results

After 3 months, you will have shown you can follow the process and manage high quality inbound lead; built outbound pipeline and closing some higher velocity deals (5-10 seats); closed some Inbound / Product-Led-Sales customers; generated some revenue.

After 12 months, you will have achieved quotas for most months; become an expert with the product; build relationships with multiple customers, using referrals as a lever to acquire more customers.

You like to work in a team and hate losing/failing
You are a self-starter; you don\'t need someone on your back to work hard
You are an entrepreneur at heart and will find a way to make things work
You don\'t need 100 resources, tools, and people to support you in opening a deal
