The Outbound Sales Executive (New Business)
The Outbound Sales Executive (New Business) is a pure new business hunter, responsible for building and closing a self-generated pipeline across white space accounts – organisations with no current PEI Relationship. This role does not work inbound leads. Success is defined by the ability to open doors cold, create demand where none exists, and convert untouched territory into closed revenue, before handing off to Account Management and Client Engagement for lifecycle execution.
Territory & White Space Ownership
- Own a defined white space territory of net-new prospect accounts across segments, sectors and regions
- Map the territory systematically: firmographic fit, ICO alignment, buying centres and entry points
- Build and maintain a target account list with named buyers, influencers and champions per account
- Continuously replenish the territory as accounts convert, disqualify or go dormant
Outbound Pipeline Generation
- Self-generate 100% of pipeline through cold outbound: email, phone, LinkedIn and event engagement
- Design and run multi-touch, multi-channel cadences tailored to titles, workflows and market triggers
- Use market events, fund closes, hires and mandates as timely hooks for relevant outreach
- Qualify rigorously against structured scoring criteria; disqualify fast and move on
Full-Cycle Sales Execution
- Lead discovery, solution positioning, product demos, proposal generation and commercial negotiation
- Multi-thread into accounts, managing stakeholders across functions and regions to build consensus
- Create and drive urgency in accounts with no prior intent to buy
- Close self-sourced opportunities end-to-end and hand off cleanly to Account Management and Client Engagement
