Founding Account Executive
About the role
The first salesperson to go outbound at Pocket. B2B is already a 7-figure run rate, almost all of it inbound: companies where several people own a Pocket ask us for team plans. Nobody has gone out to find the next ones. You decide who to target, how to reach them and what to say, you sell, and you turn what works into the outbound playbook. You have a large user base to mine, segments that already convert, and a GTM ops person building the tooling next to you. This is a hands-on role: you write the emails, make the calls, run the demos and close.
What you'll own
Outbound from zero: target companies and people, messaging, sequences, offer
Selling end to end: discovery, demos, pilots, negotiation, closing team plans of 10 to thousands of seats
The outbound playbook: targeting, messaging, sequences, objections, pricing, handoffs, etc.
A clean pipeline in the CRM
Feedback to product and marketing: what buyers ask for, what stops them, what pricing works
Your funnel numbers: reply rate, meeting rate, close rate, and what you change when they move
