Build trusted client relationships. Sell outcomes, not gadgets.

Grid4 Communications is hiring a Sales Executive – Managed IT Services to help grow our MSP business across Southeast Michigan. This role is for a consultative seller who knows how to open doors, build trust, uncover business pain, and guide prospects through a longer, relationship-driven sales process.

You will be responsible for developing new business, leading discovery conversations with decision-makers, and positioning Grid4 as a strategic technology partner. Our technical team and sales engineers will support deeper assessments, audits, and solution design — but you are the person who creates momentum, earns credibility, and moves opportunities forward.

This is not a smile-and-brochure sales role. It is a business development role for someone who can ask sharp questions, connect technology to business outcomes, and build a healthy pipeline of qualified opportunities.

What you’ll do

• Prospect and develop new business opportunities for Managed IT Services , cybersecurity, cloud, Microsoft 365, backup/disaster recovery, and related IT solutions
• Build and maintain a pipeline through outbound outreach, networking, referrals, partner relationships, and local market activity

• Coordinate internal resources including sales engineering, service leadership, and technical specialists during assessments, scoping, and proposal development
• Manage the full sales process from prospecting to close, including follow-up, objection handling, proposal review, and transition to onboarding
• Maintain accurate pipeline, forecasts, activities, and notes in CRM
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure a strong client handoff and a high-quality customer experience
• Represent Grid4 professionally in meetings, networking events, and community/business organizations
• Consistently work toward monthly, quarterly, and annual sales goals

What success looks like

• You create qualified meetings with companies that fit Grid4’s ideal client profile
• You run discovery well enough to uncover business pain, urgency, and buying process
• You bring the right internal people into the deal at the right time
• You build trust with prospects and avoid turning discovery into a technical circus

• Comfortable collaborating with technical teams without needing to be the deepest technical person in the room

Preferred

• Experience selling recurring revenue services
• Experience selling to small and mid-sized businesses
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365, cybersecurity conversations, backup/disaster recovery, cloud infrastructure, and managed support models
• Existing business network in Southeast Michigan
