About this role.
WorkWave is hiring an SMB Account Executive to sell SaaS and fintech solutions to small pest-control and lawn-service businesses. The role owns the full sales cycle, including prospecting, responding to inbound MQLs, conducting discovery and demos, managing proof-of-concept activities, forecasting, and closing. Success is measured through weekly activity and pipeline KPIs, consistent deal closures, and quota attainment. Candidates need 1–3 years of closing-sales experience in SMB markets, consultative selling ability, and comfort with Salesforce, SalesLoft, and 6Sense. Although remote-first flexibility is offered, the candidate must be within commuting distance of Holmdel, New Jersey.

Sample interview questions
I set activity and conversion targets by funnel stage, segment accounts by fit and urgency, and reserve daily time for outbound outreach and follow-up. I keep opportunity stages evidence-based in the CRM, review pipeline coverage weekly, and identify stalled deals early so I can create a next-step plan or replace them with new qualified opportunities.
I would begin with discovery around scheduling, route management, lead follow-up, invoicing, payments, and growth goals. During the demo, I would focus on a few high-impact workflows rather than every feature, connecting each capability to time saved, improved customer experience, or stronger cash flow. I would confirm stakeholder priorities throughout and close with mutually agreed next steps.
I would acknowledge the concern and explore what is driving it, such as budget, implementation effort, or uncertainty about return on investment. Then I would quantify the operational cost of manual processes, missed leads, delayed invoicing, or inefficient scheduling and connect the platform to their specific growth goals. I would position the solution as a way to establish scalable processes before complexity becomes harder to manage.
I use Salesforce as the source of truth for contacts, discovery notes, stage criteria, next steps, and close dates. I prioritize work based on deal health, urgency, and potential impact, use task sequences for consistent follow-up, and block time for prospecting, demos, proposals, and forecast reviews. Every active opportunity should have a clear owner, decision process, and scheduled next action.
In a discovery call, I would listen for both stated needs and underlying business consequences rather than moving immediately to a product pitch. For example, when a prospect says they need better scheduling, I would ask how scheduling issues affect technician utilization, customer retention, and revenue. Reflecting those priorities back in the demo helps establish trust and makes the proposed solution more relevant to the buying decision.
