What the role really is
Enterprise selling is a different discipline from velocity sales. A strong enterprise AE navigates multi-stakeholder buying committees, long and non-linear sales cycles, and six- and seven-figure deals where trust and business acumen matter as much as product knowledge. The best are, in effect, mini-CEOs of their territory.
Why it is hard to get right
Logos on a résumé do not equal performance. Many candidates rode a strong product or inherited a warm patch; far fewer can genuinely originate and close enterprise business from a standing start. Separating the two requires understanding how a candidate actually won, not just what they closed.
How we approach it
We probe for owned, originated wins rather than inherited pipeline, and we calibrate to your specific deal profile — buyer, sector, deal size, and sales cycle. The goal is hires who can reproduce success in your environment, not just narrate it from a previous one.
