Position Summary
The Account Executive (AE) – ShopPulse role owns the opportunity and the pipeline from qualified lead to signed deal, working a mix of BDR-sourced opportunities and inbound leads generated by Noregon's NSP field sales team. This is a new-business sales role for our ShopPulse Product.
The ideal candidate has sold or closed deals in the shop management, fleet maintenance, or transportation SaaS space and knows how to run a sales cycle from demo to signed contract.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and close a pipeline of qualified opportunities sourced by an assigned BDR and inbound leads from the NSP field sales team.
- Run the full sales cycle: discovery, demo, proposal, negotiation, and close.
- Build and manage a forecast, keeping activities, next steps, pipeline stages, close dates, and deal value accurate and current in CRM.
- Position ShopPulse against competitors like Fullbay and Shopmonkey, and win the deal on value, not just price.
- Deliver compelling, consultative product demos tailored to a shop's specific pain points and workflow.
- Negotiate pricing, contract terms, and close agreements that hit revenue and margin targets.
- Partner with the BDR team on lead quality, messaging, and pipeline coverage, and work closely with NSP field sales to convert field-generated leads into closed revenue.

- Hit or exceed monthly and quarterly new-business revenue and close-rate targets.
Supervisory Responsibilities
- This position has no direct supervisory responsibilities.
Education & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or related field preferred.
- 3+ years of closing experience in a quota-carrying sales role - SaaS, technology, fleet maintenance, transportation, automotive, or shop management solutions strongly preferred.
- Direct experience selling against or within Fullbay, Shopmonkey, or similar shop management platforms is a major plus.
- Track record of hitting or exceeding quota and managing a full-cycle sales pipeline independently.
Additional Qualifications
- Strong consultative and competitive selling skills - comfortable running a deal, handling objections, and closing.
- Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills; confident running live product demos.
- Experience with CRM platforms such as HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar, with strong pipeline discipline.
- Highly organized, self-motivated, and able to manage a full pipeline independently while collaborating with BDR and field sales.

- Routine use of computers, CRM platforms, communication tools, and standard office equipment.
Physical Requirements
