About the Role

We are looking for a Business Account Executive to join our Commercial Sales team. In this role, you will be a solution seller, identifying opportunities to leverage TDS' full complement of solutions and technology offerings, including hosted and premise-based VoIP, managed services, and web security. As a business-to-business sales professional, you will be accountable for developing new business opportunities through cold calling and prospecting.

Your focus will be on uncovering customer needs, understanding key business drivers, and delivering compelling TDS solutions that meet business needs in a timely manner. You will operate within a prospecting territory covering the greater Madison area, Janesville, and Brookfield, WI.

A Day in the Life

Your day typically begins by gathering with your team in the office for a brief meeting to share successes, challenges, and plans, as well as to learn and share best practices. While you will attend scheduled team meetings, trainings, and one-on-ones with your manager, the majority of your time will be spent prospecting, developing opportunities, and closing sales. You will also create your activity plan within our CRM (Salesforce) to track progress and manage your territory effectively.

Hiring Process

We encourage you to apply if you meet the required qualifications, even if you are unsure if your experience aligns perfectly with the other qualifications listed. Research shows that many candidates hesitate to apply unless they meet 100% of the qualifications, even when they possess the skills and experience needed to succeed. Experience and skills come in many forms, and they may not always match exactly what's listed on paper, but they can still lead to success. If you meet the required qualifications and believe you have the potential to thrive in this role, we encourage you to apply today!
