Account Executive

Location: Chicago, IL | Type: Full-Time, Field-Based

About the role

Floorplan Xpress is seeking an Account Executive who is a proven B2B hunter. This role is focused on new business development, including cold calling, prospecting, and closing new accounts. This is not a retail or dealership sales role and is not account management. If you are energized by building a pipeline from scratch, getting in front of decision-makers, and winning new business, you'll do well here. Floorplan Xpress partners with independent dealers nationwide and rewards Account Executives who take ownership of their territory, consistently prospect, and deliver results. Performance and integrity matter here.

• Conduct discovery conversations and present tailored solutions
• Meet or exceed monthly and quarterly new-business sales targets
• Travel within your assigned territory to meet prospects and attend industry events
• Maintain accurate activity, pipeline, and forecasting data in the CRM
• Coordinate a professional handoff of new accounts to internal teams after closing

Requirements

• Proven experience in B2B outside sales or business development
• Demonstrated success in hunter-style sales (cold calling, outbound prospecting, pipeline creation)
• Comfortable with high-volume outbound activity and rejection
• Strong communication skills (phone, in person, written)
• Self-motivated and able to work independently in the field
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Willingness to travel regularly within assigned territory

Qualifications

• Experience selling financial services or solutions-based products
