We’re looking for a Sales Lead / Account executive to expand our presence and accelerate our growth in the Danish markedet, aiming to scale internationally. You'll be responsible for establishing and driving our inside sales efforts and winning the market.

At Worksome, we’re constantly growth-hacking our way to the stars, bouncing ideas and using the newest technologies, our stellar skills and a humble, yet super ambitious approach to winning the market! If you share this attitude, read on.

You will join our growing team of 7 people, and work closely with our founding team, consisting of two X-Googlers, an HR professional and senior developers with many years of experience working with exponential technologies.

  • Bachelor's or master’s degree or other relevant education
  • Ability to navigate data and leverage analytics to make decisions
  • Upside if you know the “Predictable Revenue” framework. Otherwise, read the book!
  • Language: Native Danish + professional English
  • A few crooked fun facts, cool hobbies or passions is a plus :)

About your responsibilities

We get lots of interest from potential clients, resulting in between 20-30 new leads every day, of which 20% are high-potential clients. These numbers are growing by the day. You will be in charge of our inside sales and responsible for converting these potential clients (prospects) into satisfied, happy customers. In other words, you’re a closer!

  • Converting prospects to high-value customers with a smile on their face
  • Testing and applying different sales strategies to uncover the most efficient way to scale sales
  • Structure our sales process and prepare for scaling the team with specialized sales development reps and customer success reps
  • Responsible for reporting, metrics and forecasting
  • Systematically gather customer feedback to further improve our product and offering
  • Help automating relevant steps in the sales- and onboarding-process to further improve our efficiency and metrics
  • You’ll have lots of freedom and flexibility to shape and reshape your role

Compensation

We know its hard work, and will grant stocks to the right candidate so we’re all in the same boat! We’ll of course also compensate accordingly to your skills with a suitable salary and compensation plan. We’re well-funded by a super supporting team of professional investors.

Together, we’ll be able to bring Worksome to the next level and tune our sales engine to propel our growth and generate predictable revenue.
