Then we setup a small team of BDR & AE and were thankfully able to replicate our initial success. We're now at a point where we've grown 10X in the past 1 year through the efforts of the founder and small sales team we built. We initially tested out Outbound prospecting ourselves to validate if there’s even a possibility to scale the efforts on this. Our initial results from outbound prospecting have been nothing less than promising. Cold calling and LinkedIn are the top two channels that have shown great promising results for us. So, it’s time now to scale our sales team and we’re looking to hire a smart & energetic Mid-Market Account Executive to convert the enterprise SQLs brought in by our BDR team's outbound efforts and bring in the $$$. Simple, right? What you’ll do • Tl;dr sell, sell and sell some more to get the $$$ in. But since job descriptions are supposed to be serious stuff, feel free to read on. • Your day-to-day would involve talking to e-commerce business owners globally(mid-market & enterprises), understanding their problems & helping them understand how our product improves their lives. • You’ll be responsible for taking up product demos and closing deals to get the $$ in via online and offline meetings(this role would require you to travel for offline meetings to crack those big logos). • Writing creative cold emails/Linkedin messages which truly break through the noise (we've tried some wacky stuff in the past, we take this a little overboard). • Playing the role of a trusted product advisor over sales demos to show customers how our product improves their lives. • Keeping your ears to the ground to collect customer feedback and forming a pipe for regular flow of customer insights to the product team. • Building the backbone for our sales process to scale for the next stage of growth. What makes you a good fit • Your childhood dream was to sell ice to an eskimo (brownie points if you've tried it). • You have 4+ years of experience doing Mid-market/enterprise sales at a SaaS startup. • You have stories of selling stuff to people (this could even be concert tickets, sports cards or something you made). • You have a way with words and have a collection of the best cold emails you've seen and written. • You have a genuine interest in conversations with people. Salary and Location Location: Bangalore Expected CTC: We pay top of market for the right folks and also offer generous equity (ESOP) to everyone in the team Our Way Of Life - https://www.notion.so/bitespeed/Way-Of-Life-At-BiteSpeed-44d9b9614d9641419da910189b1e9f8e. Our Purpose At BiteSpeed, work is personal.

Our purpose is about why we’re here and what we care about:- • Personal Transformation • Wealth Creation • Winning Together
