What Is An Account Executive
If you're breaking into B2B sales, you might have heard of the time Account Executive before. An account executive is a direct representative between a company, and it's prospects and clients. In many cases, an account executive's role is to mainly close new deals. The term account executive is very common in SaaS or B2B sales companies.
An account executive may spend a majority of their time inbound closing, taking sales meetings, following up, negotiating, and generally closing deals. Sometimes an account executive will have to do their own sales prospecting and do lead generation themselves instead of having a sales development rep do that work for them.
How Much Does An Account Executive Make
Account executives generally get paid with a base salary and commission. How those two are split to create an OTE (on-target earnings) depends on each company. However, a 50/50 split between base salary and commission is standard.
How Do You Get A Job As An Account Executive
To get an account executive job, you can work with recruiting agencies, start off as a sales development representative and work your way up to an account executive, find a company that's willing to start you off as an account executive even if you don't have any sales experience or become an inbound closer or freelance sales rep.

I appreciate the video. I thought the break down in job from sales rep to an AE, pay scale, and the experience level associated with getting the job was detailed. Do you know of any good internships? I am interested in this role, and I love that it can be remote. I would also like to have this opportunity working with nonprofits since this is my area of expertise. Thank you.

What Camera are you using?
Should you always start selling to your local companies? I'm based in South Africa and looking to engage more so foreign potential clients, do you seem this a smart move?
If you have a great product or service, it’s possible to internationally.
In a nutshell, an AE is explaining girl math to companies. Love it.
I just got an offer for this position but never worked as account executive .How and where do you get the lead from it ?

How did you bypass the sdr role at oracle and go straight to AE? Was that ur first job after college? Very curious to hear
They were experimenting and looking to see if fresh college grads could do well going straight to AE during that time. There were only a few spots so I’m sure they had a way to qualify candidates during the interview process and class of program.
And yeah, first job out of college.
@@patrickdang oh wow that’s interesting to hear, thanks for the reply!
does becoming an account executive require a degree ? if so, in what field of study ?
Yes and no. Depends what skills/experience/expertise you can bring. It often looks good to have a degree but it might not be a deal breaker. Exceptional communication skills, written and verbal, are vital. As are a passion and internet in all things people and relationships. You do whatever it takes to keep the client happy. Strategic Negotiation skills are also important as are planning and organisational skills.
Account executive often have studied business, communications, PR/marketing or administration. But depends on what industry you go into. I recently saw a job with a creative ad agency that specialised in science/medical advertising/branding was looking for an AE who had all the usual skills and a degree in science/healthcare/marketing/communications/PR/Admin or a background in sales/customer service/business development. So it’s varies. It’s all about the skills.
the problem with companies is some people there are toxic
Hi, I was wondering about what degree I need to land an Account Executive job?? Is Business Adminstration preferred or Computer Science.
To be honest with you, no degree is typically required if you have the experience and track record of success/meeting or exceeding quota or goals. With that being said, if you have limited experience a degree in anything will help get you noticed. Study what you like/have a passion for, find a AE role in the industry you like and you’ll be alright
I think marketing degree will match this job
