The Account Executive (AE) executes the ITA
Group sales process and closes sales for CX opportunities within targeted accounts. AEs must first and foremost be experts in ITA Group’s customer experience solution line to address their clients’ business challenges. Secondarily, AEs must be able to understand and identify opportunities across all ITA Group solution lines and community of companies. It is the nexus of expertise and curiosity that creates demand for our products, services and solutions. The AE is at the heart of getting to know the clients’ business issues, their brand strategy and positioning in the market and how that motivates and engages their customers. The AE creates demand for the company’s products and services by forging strong relationships through a network of coaches and key decision makers. The AE acts as a business hunter for customer experience opportunities, holding face-to-face client meetings, leveraging sales tools and identifying a strong client business fit.
From there, the AE works with an internal team of experts to design a solution fit. The solution’s success is based upon the knowledge, data and information collected by the AE and is ultimately measured by the achievement of the client objectives and financial impact.What does it take to be a successful Account Executive at ITA Group?
