Account Executive

Position: Account Executive

Location: Salt Lake City, Utah

Company: Calyx Containers

Role Overview:

Calyx Containers has spent the past few years building a state-of-the-art production facility in SLC, UT. We've invested in cutting-edge digital printing technology and have recently insourced other major functions in our supply chain; something that we continuously find prospective customers in the cannabis / nutraceutical / supplements / food & beverage industries are looking for. After recently launching an advanced capacity planning system that allows reps to reserve production capacity for Calyx-committed-customers, we're looking for the right teammate to help us capture new business.

Our organization takes pride in servicing our customers with the highest quality packaging solutions. The Account Executive role is pivotal in driving new business opportunities from inception to finalization. As the primary point of contact for strategic prospects, Account Executives must have a comprehensive understanding of the market dynamics affecting our customers, their sales & operations goals and how the Calyx Containers value propositions can help them achieve their goals.

Responsibilities include developing and vetting a list of top targets, negotiating with key decision-makers, and understanding the brand ethos and objectives of each managed account. The role demands a sophisticated grasp of B2B sales psychology and adherence to a well-structured sales process that informs management on what activities drive success and represents the professionalism of working with Calyx Containers.

The compensation package (base, commission, benefits) is lucrative for self motivated go-getters as there is not an upper limit to earnings. An individual who is passionate about building relationships, solving customer problems and being a team player who engages in healthy competition will succeed in this role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prospecting: Research and create plans to secure business from strategic Tier 1 and 2 accounts.
• Opportunity Generation: Create new qualified sales leads through proactive outreach and effectively align Calyx’s offerings with customer needs.
• Sales Performance: Meet or exceed targets by engaging and securing new business opportunities through a consultative sales approach.
• Customer Advisory: Serve as a trusted consultant and industry expert, delivering value across multiple functions within customer organizations.
• Cross-Department Collaboration: Work with internal teams including Customer Success, Art, Product, and Operations to guarantee a cohesive customer onboarding experience and entire customer journey.
• Pipeline Management: Oversee and predict the flow of deals through all stages of the sales funnel; provide regular updates and forecasts to sales leadership.
• CRM Administration: Maintain accurate records of daily activities, forecasts, and opportunities in HubSpot.
• Solution Presentation: Offer comprehensive solutions tailored to prospective customers' specific challenges within a dynamic industry.
• Industry Expertise: Continuously update knowledge on regulatory frameworks and market trends in child-resistant packaging and develop targeted messaging.
• Strategic Planning: Prepare Annual Account Plans and conduct Quarterly Business Reviews with all key accounts.
• Customer Insights: Capture and leverage customer feedback to drive new business opportunities.
• Process Improvement: Constantly seek and recommend process enhancements to increase operational efficiency.
• Travel Requirements: Travel 25-50% to engage with Tier 1 & 2 accounts at least quarterly.
• Collections Assistance: Leverage existing relationships to assist when regular collections efforts are not successful.

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Sales, Accounting, Management, or related field.
• Experience: Minimum of 3 years in full-cycle B2B sales.
• Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication, presentation, and strategic analysis skills.
• Performance: Proven ability to drive revenue growth through new business development.
• Adaptability: Capable of quickly learning and adapting to new business environments and priorities.
• Industry Knowledge: Experience in packaging or cannabis sectors is advantageous.
• Technical Proficiency: Proficient in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, and at least one CRM platform.
• Gritty but Team Player Attitude: A leader in overcoming adversity, lifting others up as they climb.

This role is suited for a results-driven professional eager to advance within a dynamic industry by fostering long-term relationships and mastering complex sales strategies.
