Outside IT Sales Representative (External B2B)

Job Description

Job Description

SUMMARY
We're looking for a passionate and forward-thinking Sales Representative to help drive Paragus IT to the next level! You'll play a lead role in our goal of growing Paragus from an $8-million company to a $25-million company — all while enjoying the perks of joining an employee-owned company. This is a pure hunter role: you build and close new business, and our account management team takes it from there. Every prospect has their own idea of what “good IT” looks like — your job is to find where that falls short and show them ours.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Be the face of Paragus in your market
• Strategically partner with our marketing team to prospect and qualify new sales leads
• Cultivate your own pipeline through outbound prospecting — cold calling, LinkedIn, email, and in-person networking (trade shows, association meetings, centers of influence)
• Qualify leads quickly against clear criteria; pursue the fits and move on from the rest
• Schedule meetings and presentations with prospects, and shepherd them through the sales funnel
• Create, plan, and deliver presentations on Paragus's services, including to owners and C-level decision-makers
• Track all sales activity and update account information in HubSpot — kept current, not as an afterthought
• Hit monthly and annual new-MRR quota and pipeline KPIs
• Hand off closed accounts cleanly to our account management team, who own the ongoing relationship and growth from there

QUALIFICATIONS

• 3–5 years of demonstrated success in a small to mid-size B2B sales role; technical services or MSP sales is a plus!
• A track record of consistently hitting quota in an outside, appointment-based sales role
• Comfort prospecting cold and closing — not just managing inbound or warm leads
• Demonstrated ability to communicate, present, and influence credibly and effectively at all levels of an organization, specifically with executive and C-level employees
• Experience delivering client-focused solutions based on customer needs
• Proven ability to manage multiple opportunities at once while paying strict attention to detail
• Excellent listening, negotiation, and presentation skills
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Familiarity with the Challenger Sale approach is a plus

YOU'LL SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE IF YOU
Have a closer mentality with excellent customer service and communication skills, both written and verbal. You'll need to know your way around Microsoft Office Suite, as we use those apps for everything. You should have the ability to work independently, prioritize your work, and manage your time effectively, though we expect you to be a team player as well. We are looking for people who are smart, creative, and willing to share their ideas about how we can make Paragus an even better company.

WHAT WE REQUIRE

• Ability to travel throughout the territory for meetings and networking, with occasional evening events
• Reliable transportation and a dependable internet connection
• Full-time, hybrid — in-office collaboration with remote flexibility after onboarding

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: AS A PARTNER AT PARAGUS, YOU'LL ENJOY:

• Base salary of $65,000 , plus uncapped, one-time commission at 1.5x MRR on every deal you close — paid when you close it, not spread out or tied to renewal
• Quarterly bonus opportunity on top of commission
• Monthly new-MRR quota of $5,000 ($60,000 annually)
• Culture, culture, culture! Think: fun events, good beer, and great snacks, but most importantly, amazing people that you'll look forward to seeing every day.
• Employee ownership; that's right, you're not just an employee, you're an owner!
• Self-driven Career Advancement opportunities
• 401K Plan + Matching up to 4%
• Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance (Paragus pays up to 90% of your Premium)
• Extra-curricular optional committees, training classes, Paragus University Courses and mentorship
• A monthly stipend for your cell phone
• Need a car for a day or so, just borrow ours!

HYBRID WORK POLICY
Whether you're saving on gas, time, or just enjoying the freedom of flexibility, remote work can directly contribute to your health and happiness. As a full-time employee you will be eligible to work remotely two days a week once you have successfully completed your onboarding.

PAID TIME OFF
We at Paragus strive to not only promote but more importantly, prioritize a healthy work-life balance. As a full-time employee you will be eligible for our Flexible Vacation policy, which provides our employees with an un-capped bank of paid time off to use for vacation. Outside of the Flexible Vacation policy we also provide 5 days of sick time and personal leave, as well as 6 paid holidays.

EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPANY
Why be an employee when you can be an owner? As a Partner of Paragus IT, what you say matters! We highly value our partners' insights and many times put recommendations to play. Additionally, you'll see the direct impact of accomplishments through our ESOP program!

DETAILS

• Hours : Full Time, Monday–Friday
• Compensation : $65,000 base + uncapped 1.5x MRR commission at close + quarterly bonus + ESOP
