Quorum allows users to manage stakeholder engagement, launch grassroots advocacy campaigns, and track legislative activity at all levels of government, including federal, state and local.

Quorum serves over 2,000 customers globally including over 50% of the Fortune 100, and has over 350 team members across the globe. The company recently acquired Capitol Canary, a market leader in grassroots advocacy software.

As a Mid-Market Customer Account Executive, you will be dedicated exclusively to client expansion- whether adding new products to their existing solution, bringing on new teams, and/or expanding the number of users. This is an excellent opportunity for an entrepreneurial sales executive that has a strong passion for sales. This role does not include responsibility for renewals for existing clients and/or new logo sales to potential clients.

What You'll Do

  • First Week: You'll learn the history of Quorum, get introduced to colleagues inside the Customer Success team and start learning our culture. You and your manager will review a comprehensive onboarding plan that will address the product and market knowledge you need to work with Quorum clients. You will also be introduced to the Expansion Sales Playbook along with other relevant sales systems and assets (Salesforce, etc). Finally, your manager will outline expectations for lead and opportunity conversion required to meet your sales targets.
  • First Month: You will participate in sales training to build a fundamental understanding of Quorum's products, primary value propositions and use cases, and buyer personas. You will shadow demos with potential clients and trainings with current clients. During this time you will gain an intimate knowledge of the Quorum sales process and begin reviewing the existing sales pipeline for your portfolio of clients.
  • First Six Months: After successfully completing sales onboarding, you will assume full cross sell responsibilities for clients within your portfolio, converting leads created by Customer Success Managers along with executing your own prospecting to uncover new cross sell opportunities. With the help of the customer success management team, customer success operations and marketing assets you will be expected to build and manage your pipeline.
  • First Year: You will demonstrate mastery of the Quorum products and lead a healthy pipeline to achieve annual sales quotas. Success in the role requires proving yourself a partner both to the customer success management team and to Quorum's clients.
