About Kojo
It’s time to build. Whether it’s creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.
Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.
We’re expanding our Sales team by bringing on all-star Account Executives who will report to our Sales leadership in a highly visible and impactful position as brand ambassadors.
About the role
The ideal AE at Kojo possesses strong sales, interpersonal and organizational skills. They are comfortable with multitasking and able to budget their resources in order to meet ( and exceed!) assigned quotas. We nurture our sales organization through low Manager-to-Rep ratios and robust Sales Enablement resources.
This exciting opportunity includes:
Running the complete sales cycles from new meeting to closed won customer
Consistently overachieving monthly sales goals
Penetrating accounts with cold outbound prospecting strategies to generate new opportunities (40 calls a day)
Working a wide variety of lead sources including SDR generated meetings, inbound leads, and cold outbound leads
Running customized software demos for a wide variety of prospective clients (VPs, CFOs, CEOs, Project Managers, Purchasing agents)
Navigating 3-6 week sales cycles involving multiple decision makers and teams with differing pains
Collaborating and coordinating with internal resources throughout the sales cycle including SDRs and Sales Enablement
Utilizing best-in-class sales tools including SalesForce, Outreach.io, and Gong
Acting as an exceptional brand ambassador
