  • Understand each client's offerings, plans and where Blacksmith should fit
  • Proactively bring clients proposals for needed work
  • Scope, quote, negotiate and close expansion and new project deals in Salesforce

  • Identify churn risk early and manage renewals
  • Keep Salesforce current
  • Sell recurring website support, PPC, SEO, GEO, GMB and traditional marketing programs

  • A real number you carried and hit, with specifics on what you closed against it and how you built the pipeline
  • Marketing fluency: a credible conversation about paid search, organic visibility, conversion and what a redesign actually buys a client
  • Commercial confidence in scoping, pricing and negotiation, with no flinching when it is time to ask for the business
  • Access to senior stakeholders, the CMO or VP of Marketing, not just the marketing coordinator
  • Self-direction; nobody is building your pipeline for you

  • Salesforce experience required
  • Background that includes a hunting seat before an account management seat
  • Comfort with quota and commission

Benefits:

  • Base salary plus commission on expansion and new project revenue you close, with tiered rates that scale as you clear gates
