AddressTheAccount Executive will continuously seek net new business derived primarily from outbound prospecting, territory management, and periodically going onsite. This position will pull in resources from the sales engineering team and work to transition business to our implementation team. Once a new customer is onboard, this account will remain as part of the territory for possible upsell. SMB customers are constantly expanding and changing, so their needs change as well. In this role, the Account Executive will grow business with a constant mix of new and expanding clients with a strong emphasis on net new customer acquisition.
