HubSpot Sales Executive
About The Position
SmartBug Media is the most decorated HubSpot agency, recognized as a leader in crafting digital solutions that empower organizations to thrive across the entire customer lifecycle. From marketing and sales to revenue operations, customer success, and e-commerce, we combine sound strategies, cutting-edge AI, and digital innovation to deliver solutions that de-risk the future and drive sustainable growth. With a fully remote team of over 250 professionals, we excel at creating intelligent web and digital ecosystemsâfrom corporate websites to complex web applicationsâseamlessly integrated with AI-powered solutions. By aligning SmartBug's expertise with our clients' unique business realities, we build scalable, innovative tools that become engines for growth, setting the course for long-term success. The HubSpot Sales Executive is a pure hunter responsible for identifying and closing new business outside of the existing HubSpot ecosystem. Your primary mission is to source ânew logoâ opportunities - companies not currently using HubSpot or working with a partner - and bring them into the HubSpot fold. You will manage the sales cycle from prospecting to close, registering these deals with HubSpot to secure Partner-Sourced credit. While you own the software sale, you will strategically partner with internal (SmartBug) Sales Executives to attach SmartBug service packages to every deal you hunt.
Requirements
- Education: Bachelorâs degree or relevant professional experience.
- Experience: 3-5 years of high-activity outbound SaaS sales (hunter profile).
- Pipeline Mindset: Proven track record of generating at least 70â80% of your own pipeline through cold prospecting and networking.
