About the Role
Vidyard is looking for an Account Executive, Emerging within England to join our EMEA Sales team. Reporting to the EMEA Sales Manager, you will be responsible for establishing Vidyard as a trusted business partner and acquiring new customers.
The Emerging AE role is a hunter role and is a great opportunity to establish your skills and sales habits as you grow in your sales career. This role is a combination of both inbound and outbound sourced opportunities – you will be responsible for prospecting, running efficient discoveries, demos, pricing, and negotiations on all sales opportunities with executive-level personas. Emerging opportunities are highly transactional, typically closed within 2-3 weeks, over 1-2 calls. Vidyard provides engaged account lists, cadences, and talk tracks to guide you in your prospecting. Inbound opportunity volume is dependent on the market. You will be expected to achieve weekly/monthly targets, including: contacts worked, meetings booked, and pipeline generated to help you attain your quarterly/monthly revenue goals.
This role is a great opportunity to accelerate your sales learnings, growth, and success while you make a significant impact on Vidyard’s success and how business is conducted as a whole!
