The New Acquisition Account Executive is a pure hunter role responsible for landing net-new logo customers within an assigned territory. This role owns the entire sales motion—from outbound prospecting through close—and is measured exclusively on new customer revenue.. The ideal candidate thrives in competitive environments, creates pipeline through disciplined outbound execution, and consistently wins first-time deals.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the full new-logo sales cycle end to end, including outbound prospecting, discovery, proposal development, and close, without SDR support.
  • Consistently meet or exceed a $500K annual new-business quota, with uncapped commission and clear upside for overperformance.
  • Close the first new-logo deal within the first 60–90 days.
  • Build and maintain 4–5x pipeline coverage through disciplined outbound execution and strategic account targeting.
  • Forecast with greater than 90% accuracy, reviewed weekly and monthly with sales leadership.
  • Conduct high-impact discovery and present tailored solutions using structured sales methodologies such as MEDDIC, SPIN, or Sandler; candidates should be able to articulate their approach.
  • Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene in Salesforce, ensuring deal stages, next steps, and notes are accurate and updated weekly.
  • Ensure consistent and effective use of Outreach by maintaining strong sequence hygiene, including accurate enrollment, timely follow-ups, and alignment with GTM cadences.
  • Continuously refine messaging and sales processes based on market feedback, performance data, and coaching input.
  • Proactively seek coaching, feedback, and development opportunities to improve performance and win rates.

Objectives & Key Results

  • First Deal: Close an initial new-logo deal within 60–90 days.
  • New Logos: Close 5–8 new logos per month.
  • Quota Attainment: Meet or exceed monthly new-business targets of $45K.
  • Pipeline Generation: Self-generate at least 45% of total pipeline.

What You’ll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
  • 3+ years of new-logo, outbound B2B sales experience, ideally in a quota-carrying hunter role in SaaS, tech, or services.
  • Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales quotas.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Salesforce, Outreach, or similar sales tech stack.

What We'd Like You To Have

  • Experience selling into corporate and state/local government accounts.
  • Background in EdTech, SaaS, or training/learning solutions.
  • Familiarity with long sales cycles and navigating complex buying processes.

Success Will Require

  • Outbound Account Prospecting & Territory Strategy
  • Sales Methodology: Fluency in structured selling approaches like MEDDIC, SPIN, or Sandler.
  • Coachability: Open to feedback, highly self-aware, and focused on continuous improvement.
  • Self-Sufficiency: Drives pipeline without reliance on SDRs or Sales Engineers.

Who Succeeds in This Role!

  • Prefer hunting new business over managing existing accounts
  • Thrive in outbound, competitive sales environments
  • Are motivated by uncapped earnings and over-quota acceleration
  • Want clear expectations, autonomy, and accountability

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
