The HubSpot Sales Executive is a pure hunter responsible for identifying and closing new business outside of the existing HubSpot ecosystem. Your primary mission is to source “new logo” opportunities - companies not currently using HubSpot or working with a partner - and bring them into the HubSpot fold. You will manage the sales cycle from prospecting to close, registering these deals with HubSpot to secure Partner-Sourced credit. While you own the software sale, you will strategically partner with internal (SmartBug) Sales Executives to attach SmartBug service packages to every deal you hunt.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute a comprehensive outbound prospecting plan to penetrate target accounts within our Ideal Client Profile (ICP)
  • Execute high-volume, multi-channel outreach (email, phone, video, social) to generate a pipeline of “Partner Sourced MRR”
  • Represent agency at INBOUND and other industry events
  • Identify and qualify leads based on their software needs and readiness to migrate to the HubSpot platform
  • Lead the full software sales cycle, including discovery, customized platform demonstrations, and technical scoping.
  • Negotiate software pricing and packaging, leveraging your knowledge of HubSpot’s discounting levers to win “new logo” business
  • Own the lead registration process within the HubSpot Partner Portal to ensure SmartBug receives full attribution for the source
  • Deliver high-impact sales presentations and portal demos that clearly articulate the ROI of HubSpot and the SmartBug distinct value proposition
  • Once a software opportunity is identified, partner with a SmartBug Sales Rep to pitch onboarding and implementation, creating a comprehensive solution
  • Collaborate with HubSpot Territory Managers on deals you bring to them, using your sourced deals as leverage to gain favor and future reciprocity from the HubSpot team
  • Drive full-cycle revenue generation against a personal quota
  • Uphold rigorous pipeline hygiene and data integrity within HubSpot, applying strict qualification criteria to validate opportunities and ensure accurate forecasts
  • Demonstrate a commitment to continual learning regarding the HubSpot platform, staying ahead of product updates to remain a valuable resource to partners
  • Inspire confidence during the sales process by demonstrating HubSpot acumen and industry expertise
  • Maintain an expert-level understanding of the competitive landscape (Salesforce, MS Dynamics, PipeDrive) to effectively displace competitors
  • Act as a "market scout," identifying emerging trends where HubSpot’s software can solve specific industry pain points.
  • Required Skills and Experience

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree or relevant professional experience.
  • Experience: 3-5 years of high-activity outbound SaaS sales (hunter profile).
  • Pipeline Mindset: Proven track record of generating at least 70–80% of your own pipeline through cold prospecting and networking.
  • HubSpot Knowledge: Deep understanding of the HubSpot software suite. You must be able to demo the product effectively without relying on a technical pre-sales engineer.
  • Negotiation Skills: Ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder software negotiations and displace incumbent technologies.
  • Collaboration: A "team-first" approach to selling, with the ability to lead a deal while gracefully incorporating a Service Sales counterpart to handle the consulting scope.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working at a HubSpot partner agency
  • HubSpot Software Certifications
  • Existing relationships within the HubSpot sales organization.
