Crossover is hiring for multiple Account Executive positions for our client, Aurea.
Most B2B software companies make the mistake of expecting sales reps to just ‘get the deals in’ with the naive expectation that raw activity, individual sales heroics and the pressure of a quota, will create growth.
The result on the sales representative is more and more emphasis on making custom decks and sales pitches or reinventing the wheel with every deal instead of crafting and executing a proven repeatable sales approach and message. What started as a seemingly logical approach (hire great people, pressure them with a quota and trust their random instincts to get deals closed), results in a poor return on investment and an ineffective and unhappy sales force.
At Aurea, we turn this logic on its head. First, we don’t chase growth at the expense of quality or economics. Instead, we only feed our sales reps team bottom-of-funnel inbound shoppers who are actively searching online for a solution to their problem. We limit the scope of our demand generation efforts so that we can mathematically predict the quality and quantity of bottom of funnel leads week after week. Then the qualification team screens these leads to ensure their fit and timeline to purchase and pass them to the sales reps. The result is that each sales rep has the quantity and quality of leads to keep them in front of high-quality prospects consistently.
Second, we seek to increase sales rep's effectiveness not by increasing activities but by focusing on the quality of every live connect. Our managers spend their time coaching on the detailed nuances of recorded calls, while our reps are rapidly putting those learnings into effect on the front lines. The result is a continuous loop of improvement where our reps get to spend their time doing what they love (engaging prospects) and Aurea benefits from a rapidly maturing and happy salesforce.
We are able to accomplish such a conversation-centered approach because we have aggressively automated every other aspect of the business. We eliminate the guesswork around what reps should do on their calls, resulting in consistent messaging, predictable methodology, and ultimately signed contracts and quality partnerships. Data continually proves the most effective processes, so we lock down those processes and allow reps to maximize their time on the phone educating prospects and winning customers.
Becoming a sales rep at Aurea means investing in the actual essence of effective sales: solving prospect problems by masterfully positioning a software solution as the differentiated anecdote to that problem. You’ll learn that here faster than anywhere else.
What You Will Be Doing
Your first priority is to conduct world-class product demos that involve insightful questions to find out more about the prospect’s business pains and needs. The inbound meeting request will be screened and qualified by the SDR team and they will schedule the meeting on your calendar.
When on a live demo call you will follow the product-specific Call Outline (of course internalizing and personalizing it to make it your own) to learn more about the prospect’s pain, position our solution according to our “secret sauce”, and determine next steps with the prospect that ultimately leads to a signed contract.
