ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS TEAM
Our "Schools" team has three sub-teams:
- Account Executives (new business sales) - They bring Albert to new school customers and find opportunities for customer expansions. They are measured by how much new business they win in a year.
- Account Managers (renewal sales) - They work with school administrators to renew customer contracts, plan implementations, and conduct data-driven check-ins. They are measured by annual customer retention.
- Adoption Managers - They work with teachers to support their day-to-day use of Albert and deliver professional development training. They are measured by license utilization and teacher engagement.
These sub-teams work closely together to provide an exceptional experience for school administrators and teachers.
THE ROLE
As an
Account Executive, your responsibilities will expand to include territory management. As a territory owner, you will consider the long-term sustainability of your outreach, expand client relationships, execute post-sale follow-ups, manage pilot implementations, and more as you strategically maximize long-term revenue potential. You will earn a commission on won new business deals in your territory, which include client expansions in their first renewal year.
In a typical day, you can expect to do things like:
• Maintain your pipeline; following up with current opportunities (including calling) and keeping updated notes and clean deal data.
• Attend conferences and trade shows within your territory which may include coordinating logistics, marketing materials, and booth set-up.
• Lead demo calls with school and district administration teams.
• Own and facilitate pilot implementations within your territory.
• Create proposals and pricing explanations with customers that are ready to purchase.
• Set up targeted outreach campaigns, leveraging our various data sources and strategic focus.
• Collaborate with members of our Account Management team to create new sales opportunities and staying up to date with constant product improvements from our Product teams.
• Improve sales assets such as pricing explainers, course catalogs, efficacy research briefs, etc.
