Sherpa, Inc. is hiring a Sales Account Executive! Lead Sherpa is a SaaS (software as a service) that provides compliant text messaging and premium skip trace data to real estate professionals. Sherpa is growing quickly and has a great reputation in our niche. The majority of our new users come to us through word of mouth and referrals from existing happy customers. We are ready to accelerate our growth by adding our first sales executive to the team. The right candidate can work from our office in Denver, or anywhere in the world during MST business hours.
The main goal of this position will be to close leads generated by our various marketing methods, and prospect for new business. This means understanding the potential customer's pains and demonstrating how our service can help them. We need someone who can clearly communicate the value of our services and our brand. To be clear, Lead Sherpa is NOT a hard sell - our service currently sells itself. Competition and market conditions are changing, however, so formalizing our sales process and accelerating growth into 2020 and beyond is critical.
You’ll work closely with our Founder who will show you the ropes. We work hard together and celebrate successes frequently. We have hundreds of leads for you to follow up with, and we will show you where and how to easily generate new leads of your own. Unlike other organizations, we’ve tried to establish a workplace culture that is cooperative rather than cut-throat.
Compensation structure is base plus commission.
