Account Executive

Quick Highlights

• Role: Own inbound leads and drive sales growth at Richpanel, an AI-first customer service platform with proven product-market fit. Our first AE earned INR 1.1 Cr last year through our 100% inbound sales motion. The next two are on track to make INR 85 Lacs and 60 lacs in their first year. We have more demos than we can handle and are looking for AEs to own the full sales cycle and capitalize on this demand.
• Reports to: Head of Sales
• Stage: Team of 25. Primarily based in Bangalore, India. We have couple team members in USA.
• Growth: Raised seed round from Sequoia and profitable with over 2,000 US-based brands.

• Compensation: INR 40 - 60 LPA depending on experience (50% fixed, 50% performance pay). Our commissions are uncapped—our first AE earned INR 1.1 Cr last year. The next two are on track to make INR 85 Lacs and 60 lacs in their first year.
• Team: You'll be part of our high-performing sales team, working directly with our CEO
• Why now: Our sales team crushed quota in 2024, achieving 188%, 173%, 244%, and 250% last four quarters. However, due to limited bandwidth, the AEs had to decline 300+ demos, which were then handled by CSMs, Product Managers, and other team members. With demo requests expected to double this year, we urgently need exceptional AEs who can own the full sales cycle and help us scale our success.
