πŸ”” We Broke the Gong πŸ””. Help Us Break the Next One.

The good news: we're growing 100% YoY, and the gong got rung 205 times last quarter. The bad news: it now has a hairline crack, and one AE pulled a shoulder muscle while ringing it. The plan: go from 7 to 20 reps. New gong on order. We need 13 more pairs of hands to ring it.

Why pick up a mallet?

🎯 Full-cycle selling. Own deals from the first call to closed-won. $5k–$25k ACV range.

🀝 Discovery & demo. Run sharp discovery and demos that actually answer the questions buyers care about.

πŸ“Š Pipeline hygiene. Keep HubSpot clean, forecast accurately, and never sandbag.

πŸ€– AI-first workflow. Use AI to prep calls, summarize accounts, and write follow-ups in minutes.

🀜 Team multiplier. Partner with marketing, product, and customer success so wins stack instead of stalling.

You're the perfect fit if…

  • You've sold B2B SaaS for 3+ years and have the win rate to prove it
  • You can run a discovery call without sounding like a script
  • You get excited about ops, training, and the messy middle of how teams actually work
  • Cold rejection doesn't ruin your week β€” it sharpens you
  • You write follow-ups people actually reply to
  • You think in pipeline math: stages, conversion, velocity
  • You'd rather lose fast than chase a ghost for 6 months
  • Quota is a floor, not a ceiling
  • Fluent English (bonus points for additional languages)

The practical stuff

  • Full-time employment
  • $140k OTE, uncapped β€” top AEs clear $200k+

The Whale way of selling

These are our values. They aren't wall decorations.

🎯 Hit the number. We respect the quota. We don't hide from it. We celebrate it.

🧭 Honesty over hopium. Forecast what's real, not what you wish were real.

🀝 Customer first, deal second. We don't sell to bad-fit accounts. The pipeline is long enough.

⚑ Speed wins. Reply in minutes. Send the proposal today. Close before they cool.

πŸ“š Always be learning. Read the book. Listen to the call. Steal the technique.

🫢 Lift the team. Share the playbook. Coach the new rep. Win together.
