Account Executive Job Description
What does an Account Executive do?
An Account Executive’s main responsibility is to sell products, solutions, or services to business, consumers, or government agencies.
More specifically, Account Executives are responsible for these parts of the sales cycle:
- Identifying selling opportunities with new and existing customers within their territories
- Developing and nurturing relationships within their customer base
- Ultimately closing the deal for the product or solution that they sell
Depending on the company, Account Executives work with a team that consists of sales engineers, sales development representatives, subject matter experts, and business development specialists, all who aid the Account Executive in closing the deal.
When the deal does close, Account Executives are typically paid a commission. The commission percentage they are paid varies by account size, industry, and company.
An Account Executive typically starts their career as a Sales Development Representative (SDR), and moves from SMB Account Executive to Mid-Market Account Executive to Enterprise Account Executive and lastly to Strategic Account Executive. After 2-3 years as an Account Executive, you also have the option to move into Sales Management.
