About the Role

We’re looking for a driven and self-motivated Account Executive to own the full sales cycle for a SaaS field service management platform serving mid-market general contractors.

This is a hunter-style sales role where you’ll be responsible for generating your own leads, building a pipeline, conducting product demos, and closing new business. You’ll take ownership of your sales activities from the first interaction through the signed deal, using proactive outreach, networking, industry events, and AI tools to accelerate your results.

This opportunity is ideal for an ambitious, early-career sales professional or recent graduate who is competitive, resourceful, and eager to build a career in SaaS sales. Drive, initiative, and work ethic matter more than years of experience.

What You’ll Own

Prospecting & Pipeline Development

• Generate new leads through cold outreach, networking, referrals, and industry events.


• Build, manage, and maintain a healthy sales pipeline.


• Identify and qualify potential customers, focusing on opportunities with strong conversion potential.


• Keep prospect information, activities, and pipeline stages organized in the CRM.

Full-Cycle Sales & Closing

• Manage the entire sales process, from initial outreach and discovery calls to product demonstrations and closing deals.


• Deliver engaging product demos tailored to the needs and challenges of general contractors.


• Clearly communicate product value and address prospect questions and objections.


• Maintain consistent follow-ups and build relationships that convert into new business.


• Use AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude to research prospects, personalize outreach, and improve sales productivity.

Events & Industry Representation

• Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and trade shows, both independently and alongside the Marketing & Events Specialist.


• Build relationships through industry associations, including ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors) and AGC (Associated General Contractors).


• Attend events primarily across Central Florida, with occasional travel to larger national trade shows.


• Identify new prospects, generate leads, and turn event connections into sales opportunities.

Requirements

• A self-starter with strong drive, competitiveness, and the ability to take ownership of sales goals.


• Comfortable with cold outreach and initiating conversations with unfamiliar prospects through phone, email, and in-person networking.


• Strong communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.


• Confident presenting products to business audiences or willing to learn and develop product demonstration skills quickly.


• Comfortable using AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude for prospect research, personalized outreach, and everyday productivity.


• Personable and persuasive, with the ability to build rapport and establish trust.


• Willing and able to travel to industry events, primarily throughout Central Florida, with occasional national travel.


• Able to work independently in a fully remote environment while staying organized and accountable.


• A degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field is preferred, or equivalent hands‑on experience.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience in sales, retail, business development, or another customer-facing role.


• Familiarity with HubSpot or other CRM platforms.


• Interest in SaaS, construction, or field service management.


• Experience with prospecting, cold calling, networking, or product demonstrations.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You enjoy the challenge of finding and winning new business rather than relying on an existing pipeline.


• You are proactive, competitive, and motivated by measurable results.


• You are comfortable stepping outside your comfort zone to start conversations and build relationships.


• You use technology and AI tools to work smarter, move faster, and improve your performance.


• You thrive with autonomy and take responsibility for your own success.
