4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Quota Attainment (Named Accounts)

Achieving or exceeding your assigned revenue target for a portfolio of strategic international corporate accounts.

Target · 100%+ of quarterly/annual quota (typically £1.5M - £3M ACV)

Closed £800K in Q1 against a £750K target, ending the quarter at 106% attainment. This included a £500K deal with a major German automotive firm.

Average Deal Size (ACV)

Increasing the average Annual Contract Value (ACV) of the deals you close, focusing on larger, more impactful agreements.

Target · 25% Year-over-Year increase in average ACV for new logos and expansions

Last year's average ACV was £150K; this year, it's £190K, showing a healthy increase by focusing on multi-product solutions and larger deployments.

Competitive Win Rate

The percentage of opportunities where we were actively competing against a known rival and won the business.

Target · >50% win rate against key competitors (e.g., Salesforce, Oracle, SAP)

Out of 10 deals where we were up against Competitor X, we won 6, giving us a 60% win rate for the quarter. This shows you're effectively articulating our differentiator.

Multi-Product / Solution Attach Rate

The percentage of deals where you successfully sell more than one product or solution from our portfolio.

Target · >30% of all closed deals include at least two distinct product lines

Closed 4 out of 10 deals this quarter that included both our core platform and our new analytics module, demonstrating success in expanding customer value.

Mentee Performance & Development

The impact of your informal mentoring on the performance and growth of junior Account Executives.

Target · Mentees achieving 90%+ of their individual quota and demonstrating improved deal strategy

Both junior AEs you've been working with hit 95% of their quota this quarter, and their managers specifically noted improvements in their discovery call quality and objection handling.

Strategic Account Penetration

Your ability to deepen relationships within key accounts, identifying new business units, expanding our footprint, and establishing multiple points of contact beyond the initial deal.

Regular meetings with new departments or C-level executives within existing accounts
successful introductions to other regions of a global client
active participation in client's strategic planning discussions
specific examples of 'land and expand' strategies paying off.

Deal Strategy & Execution Excellence

proactive involvement of relevant teams at the right time in the sales cycle

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Closing Big, Complex Deals

You're energised by the challenge of a multi-million pound opportunity, especially one that requires strategic thinking and navigating a tricky political landscape. You love the 'hunt' for the Economic Buyer.

Spending hours mapping out a Fortune 500 account's organisational structure, identifying key influencers, and crafting a bespoke value proposition that speaks directly to their CEO's strategic objectives.

Making a Tangible Impact

You want to see your work directly contribute to the company's growth and market position. You're driven by the knowledge that your deals are shaping our future.

Knowing that the £2M deal you just closed will enable us to hire five new engineers, or that your client's success story is now a key part of our marketing campaign.

Mentoring & Developing Others

You get a real kick out of helping junior colleagues learn the ropes, sharing your experience, and watching them grow into confident sellers. You're happy to jump on a call with them to help unstick a deal.

Spending an hour reviewing a junior AE's discovery call recording, giving specific feedback on their questioning technique, and then seeing them apply it successfully on their next call.

What frustrates people

Internal Gatekeepers: Getting your deal through our own internal Legal and InfoSec reviews can sometimes feel harder than selling to the customer itself. Expect bureaucracy.
The Quarter-End Scramble: The immense pressure during the last two weeks of a quarter to close everything. It means late nights, high stress, and often having to give away discounts you'd rather not.
CRM Data Integrity: Your forecast is only as good as the data in Salesforce, and you're constantly battling inaccurate or incomplete information entered by others (or yourself, let's be real).
The Elusive Economic Buyer: Spending months working with a team that loves your product, only to find out they don't have the budget and the real decision-maker is inaccessible or uninterested.
Time Zone Burnout: The reality of a 5 AM call with Sydney, a mid-day call with London, and a 7 PM call with San Francisco, all in the same day. It's exhausting.
Losing on a 'No Decision': Investing 12 months into a deal only for the prospect to stick with the status quo, meaning you lose to inaction, not a competitor. It's soul-crushing.

What this role does not give you

A predictable, 9-to-5 routine with no urgent requests.
A role where every piece of work you do makes it to production or closes immediately.
A quiet, solitary work environment with minimal interaction.
A job where you're handed perfectly qualified leads on a silver platter every day.

6Who you work with

Your ability to secure and grow major international accounts directly impacts our global revenue targets and market penetration. You're essentially building the foundation for our long-term success in new territories, influencing product direction with client feedback, and setting the standard for how we engage with our most important customers. If you're not hitting your numbers, it's not just your quota that suffers; it impacts team morale and our overall growth trajectory.

Inside the business

Regional Sales Manager (your direct boss, for strategic guidance and approvals)
Sales Operations (for pipeline hygiene, forecasting, and process improvements)
Product Management (to give feedback from key clients and understand roadmap)
Legal & Finance (for contract negotiations, compliance, and pricing approvals)
Solutions Engineering / Pre-Sales (for technical deep dives and tailored demos)
Customer Success (for smooth handovers and ensuring client happiness post-sale)

Outside the business

C-level Executives (CFO, CIO, CEO, particularly Economic Buyers)
Procurement & Legal Teams (for contract redlines and vendor onboarding)
IT Directors & Technical Leads (for solution validation and integration discussions)
Key Business Unit Heads (the actual users and beneficiaries of our solution)
Strategic Partners (where we co-sell or integrate with other vendors)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven track record of consistently exceeding sales quotas (100%+) in a full-cycle B2B sales role, ideally selling complex software or SaaS solutions to corporate clients, or equivalent experience.
Demonstrable experience in managing and closing deals with an average ACV of at least £100K-£250K, navigating multi-stakeholder environments.
Experience working with international clients or in diverse cultural settings, demonstrating an understanding of global business nuances.
Strong understanding and practical application of a structured sales methodology (e.g., MEDDPICC, Challenger Sale, SPIN Selling).
Proficiency in using Salesforce or a similar CRM system for pipeline management, forecasting, and reporting.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; additional fluency in another major business language (e.g., German, French, Spanish, Japanese) is a significant plus.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced CRM Automation & Workflow Design (Salesforce)

To truly optimise your sales process and reduce administrative burden, you'll need to move beyond just using Salesforce to actively designing and suggesting improvements to workflows, automation rules, and reporting structures. This means understanding how to make the CRM work for you, not the other way around.

Salesforce Flow & Process Builder · Custom Report & Dashboard Creation · Data Governance & Quality Best Practices

This month: Take a free online course on Salesforce Flow or Process Builder to understand automation capabilities.
Next quarter: Identify one manual task in your sales process that could be automated in Salesforce and work with Sales Ops to implement it.
Month 4-6: Build a custom dashboard in Salesforce that tracks key metrics for your named accounts, providing real-time insights.
Month 7-9: Proactively suggest 2-3 improvements to our existing CRM processes that would benefit the wider sales team.

Quick win: Clean up your own Salesforce data. Ensure every opportunity has a next step, a close date, and accurate stage. It makes a huge difference to forecasting.

Revenue Operations & Intelligence Platform Mastery (Gong/Clari)

These platforms are becoming central to how we coach, forecast, and understand deal dynamics. As a Senior AE, you'll need to move beyond just reviewing your calls to actively using the AI-driven insights to refine your strategy, understand market trends, and even coach junior colleagues.

AI-Driven Deal Risk Scoring · Conversation Intelligence for Market Trends · Forecasting with Predictive Analytics

This month: Regularly review your own calls in Gong, focusing on specific areas like talk-to-listen ratio, objection handling, and competitor mentions.
Next quarter: Use Gong's insights to identify a common objection you face and develop a new, data-backed approach to handle it.
Month 4-6: Work with your manager to use Clari's insights to refine your forecast for the next two quarters, explaining the data behind your predictions.
Month 7-9: Lead a 'Gong best practices' session for junior AEs, showing them how to extract actionable insights from their calls.

Quick win: Listen back to your last two 'Closed Lost' calls in Gong. What did the AI highlight that you missed? What could you have done differently?

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend industry conferences (both ours and your clients') to stay current on market trends and network.
Participate in advanced sales training programmes focused on negotiation, executive presence, or specific methodologies (e.g., 'Selling to the C-Suite').
Seek out mentorship from senior leaders within our organisation or external sales veterans.
Read books and articles on international business, cultural intelligence, and strategic sales.
Actively engage in peer coaching and knowledge sharing sessions within the sales team.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Driven Strategic Account Planning

AI is getting incredibly good at synthesising vast amounts of market data, competitor intelligence, and client specific information. Senior AEs who can use this to build hyper-targeted, predictive account plans will have a massive edge, identifying opportunities and risks that manual analysis would miss.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Senior International Corporate Sales Specialist is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of sales work is repetitive, time-consuming, and frankly, a bit of a grind. But what if you could offload much of that to AI? Imagine spending less time on admin and more time actually strategising, building relationships, and closing those big international deals.

We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a superpower. Our AI Productivity Hub is packed with tools designed specifically for Senior International Corporate Sales Specialists like you, helping you cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters: your clients and your quota.

Automated Prospecting Co-Pilot

AI drafts highly personalised outreach emails and multi-touch sequence steps based on a prospect's LinkedIn profile, recent company news, and even their annual reports. It suggests the best time to send and automates those tedious follow-ups. Think of it as having a dedicated research and copywriting assistant.

AI-Powered Call Analysis & Coaching

Tools like Gong transcribe and analyse your sales calls, identifying talk-to-listen ratios, key competitor mentions, and moments of customer pain or objection. It provides objective feedback for self-coaching and helps you refine your pitch and objection handling, especially across different cultures.

Pre-Call Intelligence Briefing

Before a critical meeting, an AI agent scours the web for recent news, financial reports, executive interviews, and social media activity related to your target account. It then delivers a concise, one-page briefing directly to your inbox 30 minutes before your call, so you're always one step ahead.

Proposal & Summary Generation

After a complex client meeting, AI uses the call transcript to draft a comprehensive summary email, outlining discussed challenges, agreed-upon next steps, and even a preliminary business case. It can also generate a first draft of a formal proposal based on your CRM data, saving you hours of writing.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior International Corporate Sales Specialist, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior International Corporate Sales Specialist: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 5

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Sales

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll develop as a Senior International Corporate Sales Specialist are highly transferable across the B2B SaaS industry. You could move into sales leadership in a different software vertical, specialise in a specific market (e.g., FinTech sales), or even transition into a strategic consulting role where your ability to understand complex business challenges and drive solutions would be invaluable.

Not sure this is the right direction?
