About The Position

Good Sam Enterprises is seeking a driven Account Executive to manage and close sales opportunities generated by our Sales Development Representatives (SDRs). In this quota-carrying role, you’ll work exclusively with warm, qualified leads—engaging prospects, conducting product demonstrations, and guiding them through a consultative sales process to close new business. You will be assigned a specific regional territory and are expected to own and grow that market. Success in this role requires a mix of entrepreneurial initiative, strong communication skills, and a collaborative mindset. As the primary driver of new business in your territory, you’ll follow a structured sales process while maintaining a keen focus on detail, relationship-building, and market awareness.

You’ll be expected to actively manage your sales pipeline, track engagement metrics, and meet or exceed annual sales targets. In addition, you’ll serve as a subject matter expert in the campground industry, staying attuned to regional trends, customer pain points, and emerging opportunities. This role reports directly to the Director of Campground Operations and plays a critical part in representing the Good Sam Enterprises and expanding our presence within the assigned territory.
