The role

• Identify and connect with decision-makers
• Clearly explain Cutshort’s offerings and generate interest

2. Own and close deals (as you ramp up)

• Run discovery calls and product demos
• Maintain high deal speed — keep moving deals towards closure faster and avoid unnecessary delays
• Handle objections and drive decision-making
• Stay consistent with follow-ups — qualified leads should not go cold
• Pick up high-intent inbound opportunities (pricing page visits, trial completions, etc.) and drive them to closure

What we’re looking for

• 1–3 years of experience in sales / early AE roles
• Strong intent to become a closing Account Executive
• Ability to think, not just follow scripts
• High ownership. You’re accountable for outcomes, not just activity
• Discipline in follow-ups and pipeline management
• Comfort with outbound (especially calling)

And most importantly:

• You enjoy sales
• You are motivated by revenue, incentives, and winning deals
• You don’t take rejection personally

Who should NOT apply

• Unsure about a career in sales
• Avoids targets, rejection, or outbound effort
• Needs heavy structure and constant direction
• Looking for comfort over growth

Growth path

• Start with building your own pipeline
• Earn the right to run demos and close deals
• Move into a full-cycle Account Executive role based on performance

(No fixed timeline — progression is performance-driven)

• Open the conversation.- Calls, email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp. Lead with something specific about their business rather than something generic about ours.
• Qualify honestly. -Find out whether they have the store footprint, the budget and a leader who feels the problem. A meeting that wastes the AE's hour is worse than no meeting.
• Hand over properly. -Brief the AE on what you learned, who you spoke to, and what made them agree to the call. Make sure the meeting actually happens.
• Keep the CRM true. -Every conversation logged, every stage accurate. This is the only record of what the market is telling us.
• Report what you hear. Which openings get replies, which objections keep coming back, which categories bite. That feedback shapes the pitch and the roadmap.

• Discipline with volume, and the resilience to keep the tenth call of the day as good as the first

Good to have

• Any exposure to retail, whether selling into it or working inside a store
• Prospecting tools such as Apollo, Lusha or LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and any CRM you have kept clean Sequences or
