The Account Sales Executive drives Ascentek’s growth through 100% net-new customer acquisition. This role is designed for a highly motivated sales professional with a true hunter mentality who excels at identifying prospects, opening new doors, and converting opportunities into long-term customers. 

The primary focus is to generate and close new business by proactively prospecting, qualifying leads, and guiding potential customers through the full sales process. While this is a dedicated hunter role, the Account Sales Executive's involvement doesn't end at the close. Once a new customer is won, the Account Sales Executive keeps ownership of the high-level, strategic relationship. A dedicated Account Manager supports the account and handles day-to-day customer activities. This partnership ensures our customers feel supported by a full team from the top down, while the Account Sales Executive stays focused on winning new business. 

Success in this role is measured by new customers acquired, new revenue generated, and pipeline creation. The Account Sales Executive leverages CRM tools, data insights, and disciplined prospecting strategies to build a consistent pipeline and drive predictable growth. 

This role requires curiosity, resilience, persistence, and strong business acumen to uncover customer challenges and deliver value-driven solutions that create win-win outcomes for both the customer and Ascentek.
