Account Executive

Location: Remote

Employment Type: Full-Time

Role Type: Dedicated Account Executive

Industry: Real Estate / Education / B2B Partnerships

Sales Motion: Full-Cycle B2B / Consultative / Partnership Sales

Reports To: Sales Leadership / Managed AE Team

About the Role

We are looking for a commercially driven Account Executive to own the sales cycle from qualified meeting through to signed partnership agreement.

This is not a high-volume transactional sales role. The ideal candidate is a consultative B2B salesperson who can uncover business problems, identify decision-makers, build a compelling commercial case, handle objections, negotiate terms and close.

The AE will work across two key sales motions:

Real Estate (RE Track): Helping brokerages accelerate recruiting and improve the economics of bringing new agents into the business.

Mortgage (MO Track): Helping mortgage companies address continuing-education compliance and audit-readiness risks.

The role is designed to take ownership of the middle and bottom of the funnel — converting qualified SDR-generated conversations into revenue.

Key Responsibilities

Full-Cycle Sales Ownership

Own qualified opportunities from meeting handover through to signed agreement.

Conduct structured discovery to understand the prospect's underlying business driver.

Identify the appropriate decision-maker and map the buying process.

Qualify opportunities and determine commercial fit.

Develop tailored solutions based on the prospect's needs.

Build and present partnership proposals.

Manage presentations and multi-stakeholder sales conversations.

Negotiate referral fees and partnership terms within agreed commercial parameters.

Close signed referral and affiliate partnership agreements.

Pipeline Management

Maintain an accurate and healthy sales pipeline.

Keep CRM records and forecasting up to date.

Execute structured follow-up across active opportunities.

Re-engage dormant, stalled and previously lost opportunities.

Work existing inbound enquiries that have not converted.

Recover and progress lost opportunities.

Manage opportunities independently from discovery through close.

Commercial & Consultative Selling

Clearly communicate the referral and affiliate partnership model.

Position the proposition around business value rather than discounting.

Handle objections around:

Existing education/provider relationships

Lack of budget ownership

Perceived switching costs

Internal approval processes

Tailor the commercial proposition to different stakeholder groups.

Sell ROI, business outcomes and risk reduction rather than simply product features.

Expansion

Identify opportunities to expand existing partnerships.

Support future expansion into Insurance & Appraisal education segments as these come online.

Must-Have Requirements

Experience

2–5+ years of B2B sales experience.

Proven experience managing a full sales cycle from discovery through to close.

Strong experience in consultative or complex B2B selling.

Demonstrated experience closing deals rather than purely generating meetings.

Experience with discovery, proposal development, negotiation and closing.

Sales Skills

Strong discovery and qualification capability.

Able to uncover the real business problem, not just surface-level requirements.

Confident handling objections and difficult commercial conversations.

Strong proposal and presentation skills.

Comfortable negotiating commercial terms.

Able to sell to multiple stakeholders and navigate decision-making structures.

Strong follow-up discipline and pipeline management.

Commercially minded with a strong understanding of sales economics.

Working Style

Highly self-motivated and capable of independently managing a sales cycle.

Excellent verbal and written communication.

Strong CRM discipline.

Comfortable working against revenue and conversion targets.

Able to learn a new product and market quickly.

Professional, energetic and consultative approach.

Nice-to-Have Requirements

Experience selling into real estate, mortgage, financial services or another regulated industry.

Experience selling to HR, compliance, training, operations or executive stakeholders.

Experience with referral, affiliate, partnership or channel sales.

Experience selling education, training, licensing or compliance solutions.

Experience working with real estate brokerages or mortgage companies.

Experience with Pipedrive or similar CRM platforms.

Experience managing multi-stakeholder B2B buying groups.

Experience selling solutions where the commercial proposition is based on ROI, risk reduction or revenue generation rather than a simple product purchase.

The AE will be measured primarily on commercial outcomes rather than activity alone.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a hunter/closer with strong consultative selling ability.

They should be someone who can take a qualified meeting and confidently ask:

"What is actually preventing this business from moving forward, who needs to approve it, what is the commercial impact, and how do we get this signed?"

They should be comfortable moving between discovery, commercial strategy, proposal creation, presentation, objection handling, negotiation and closing without needing to be heavily managed.

They must also be able to sell two different value propositions — recruiting acceleration for real estate prospects and compliance/audit-readiness for mortgage prospects.
