Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Sadie is building technology for the hospitality industry. The Account Executive will win new restaurant customers across major cities in Canada, manage the full sales cycle from prospecting through signed agreement, build a territory pipeline, achieve sales targets, maintain accurate forecasts, and ensure successful handoffs to onboarding and customer success.
Responsibilities
- Win new restaurants, from first visit to signed agreement
- Most of your time goes on live deals, and most of those deals happen in person. You'll sit down with owners and general managers in their restaurants to learn how the phone is handled today: who answers it, what gets missed during service, and what those missed calls cost in bookings and orders. Then you'll demo Sadie against that picture
- You'll scope what the restaurant needs, write the proposal, negotiate terms and get the agreement signed
- Most of the judgement is in qualification. A good demo with someone who can't sign, or a restaurant Sadie can't serve yet, costs you weeks. You're expected to spot that early and move on
- Build your own pipeline across your territory
- You'll generate your own leads through outbound outreach, networking and on-site visits. That means planning which neighbourhoods and restaurant groups to work, walking in at the right time of day, and following up until you get a meeting
- Hit your targets with a forecast you can defend
- You're measured against monthly and quarterly sales targets, and the expectation is that you hit them consistently. You'll keep every opportunity accurate in HubSpot, so that stage, value and close date mean something to the people who plan around them
- Represent Sadie where restaurant people meet
- You'll attend local industry events, restaurant meetups and trade shows across your geography. You'll decide which ones are worth the evening, run the conversations there, and turn them into meetings within the week
- For a lot of operators, you'll be the first person from Sadie they meet. What they hear from you is what they'll repeat to other owners
- Hand over accounts that go live well
- The restaurant buys Sadie, but the guest ringing to book a table decides whether it works. You'll give onboarding and customer success a written record of what you promised, what the owner expects, and what could go wrong
- If you oversell, the owner finds out on a Friday night and the guest pays for it. Set expectations you can stand behind
