Technology Solutions Executive

Build Relationships. Solve Business Problems. Win New Clients. Machado Consulting is seeking a Technology Solutions Executive to develop new client relationships and drive growth for our IT consulting and managed technology services business.

This is a full-cycle, consultative B2B sales role for someone who enjoys creating new opportunities, engaging business leaders, uncovering meaningful business and technology challenges, and guiding prospective clients through the decision-making process.

You do need to be curious, comfortable talking with executives, and capable of working alongside technical experts to translate technology challenges into business value.

• Identify, prospect, and develop new business opportunities within Machado’s
  target market.
• Generate your own opportunities while also developing leads and appointments
  created through Machado’s inside sales, referral, marketing, and other channels.
• Lead consultative discovery conversations to understand a prospect’s business
  objectives, current IT environment, operational challenges, cybersecurity concerns,
  risks, and desired outcomes.
• Ask thoughtful questions that uncover not only technical needs, but the business
  impact and motivation for change.
• Coordinate with Machado’s engineering and technical resources to assess client
  needs and develop appropriate recommendations.
• Present Machado’s recommendations and Solutions Summary to prospective
  clients and their decision-making teams.
• Navigate pricing, competition, decision processes, negotiation, and contracting
  through signed agreement.
• Maintain a primary focus on winning new recurring-revenue clients; long-term
  account management and renewals transition to Machado’s vCIO team after the
  initial post-sale period.
• Maintain an active, healthy pipeline and consistently move qualified opportunities
  forward by securing meaningful buyer commitments and next steps.
• Maintain accurate opportunity, forecast, and next-step information in Hub Spot.

You’ll be successful in this role by consistently creating qualified new-business opportunities, building and maintaining sufficient pipeline, advancing opportunities through Machado’s defined sales process, and converting prospective clients into long term Machado relationships. For a fully productive TSE, the current performance model is built around approximately 12 new Closed-Won clients per year, or about 3 per quarter.

Success also means knowing your opportunities. You’ll be expected to understand the buyer’s business drivers, decision process, key stakeholders, timing, budget, competitive environment, and next steps, and maintain the CRM discipline necessary to support accurate forecasting and effective opportunity management.
