Account Executive (Detroit, MI)
About the role
At Steno, we’re growing fast and transforming the litigation technology industry with best-in-class court reporting, modern solutions that add value for lawyers, and an exceptional client experience. We partner with law firms to simplify complex workflows, deliver reliable outcomes and case insights, and to revolutionize a traditionally outdated space while we expand across the country.
Why Outside Sales at Steno Is Different
This is not a transactional, churn-and-burn role. It’s a true land-and-expand opportunity where you:
- Build and own your book of business from day one
- Develop long-term client relationships with law firms in your market
- Acquire and expand accounts thoughtfully over time with a dedicated marketing budget
- Drive recurring revenue in a predictable model with great product-market fit
- Increase earnings as your book of business grows
You’ll be in the field at least 3 days per week, building real relationships — not just sending emails. If you love face-to-face selling, networking, attending industry events, and being a visible presence in your market, you’ll thrive here. There is no ceiling on your success.
