Account Executive (AE)
About DAKCS
DAKCS is a 40-year industry veteran in accounts receivable management and collection software. Collecting payments is an integral part of any business, but it can be tedious, time-consuming, and expensive. Our B2B SaaS solutions leverage artificial intelligence and four decades-worth of data to streamline your collections process through automation and consumer self-service.
We are a small, tight-knit team that values a human approach to relationships. We provide a stable, casual environment where your voice carries weight, and take pride in a workspace built on mutual respect and genuine employee appreciation-which is exactly why we've been named a Top Workplace in Utah.
What You'll Do
- Hunt and Self-Generate: Proactively prospect and build your own pipeline through high-volume outbound outreach. You won't sit around waiting for inbound leads-you take control of your own pipeline.
- Master Creative Prospecting: Combine traditional outbound channels (cold calls, personalized emails, LinkedIn) with bold, non-traditional outreach methods to stand out in executive inboxes.
- Uncover Deep Business Pain: Conduct discovery that digs past surface-level issues, tying customer pain directly to financial impact and showing how DAKCS delivers clear ROI.
- Handle and Resolve Objections Head-On: Seamlessly address complex prospect concerns, reframe hesitation into value opportunities, and drive deals forward with zero fear of rejection.
- Own Enterprise Sales Cycles: Guide C-suite decision-makers (CEOs, CFOs, Presidents, Directors of Revenue Cycle) through complex, multi-stakeholder deals, managing each stage with project-management precision.
- Deliver Tailored Software Demos: Present complex SaaS and AI capabilities clearly, customizing demonstrations to solve each prospect's unique operational friction.
- Execute High-Level Negotiations: Drive deal terms, pricing structures, and contract agreements with authority and poise-balancing firm commercial boundaries with strong relationship-building to close win-win enterprise agreements.

What Will Make You Stand Out

(Negative points though if you actually cheer for the Lakers...)

- Tech/AI Enthusiast: Early adopter who loves testing new tools, prompt engineering, and finding innovative ways to automate manual sales workflows.
