Account Executive - Safety Reports

AlignOps•Denver, CO

4d•$70,000 - $80,000•Remote

About The Position

An Account Executive plays a crucial role in presenting AlignOps to prospective clients. Your primary responsibility is discovery. You use question-based selling to understand a prospect’s current operations, challenge their assumptions, and quantify the cost of their problems before you show any product. When you demo, you show only what connects to the pain you confirmed, and you keep the prospect talking more than you. A key part of your role involves a deep dive into each prospect's business, enabling you to uncover and address specific inefficiencies the Align product can improve. Your questions should be based on the client, the trade they are in, and the product we offer so that your discovery allows you to know how they currently operate and how we can improve the prospect’s office and field communication. Success in this role requires a keen understanding of customer goals, plans, challenges, timelines, budgets, and their decision-making processes.
