Arlington, Virginia, United States Gartner Full time
About this role:

Gartner's Business Development teams play a pivotal role in expanding the company's presence globally. As a Business Development Executive, you will strategically acquire new clients by building trust-based relationships with C-level executives to understand their mission-critical priorities and identify opportunities to deliver client value through industry expertise. You will drive the full sales cycle, from prospect identification to closure and transition of new accounts to the account management team.

Our Business Development teams are relentless in building trust-based, value-add relationships with clients, delivering long-term client value, and growing their book of business over time. While driven for results, they are also highly collaborative with account management teams in handing off business and ensuring an exceptional client experience.

As a Business Development Executive, you will be given a territory of Large-Enterprise prospects, which may include new prospects with no existing spend or clients within other Gartner areas. Clients of the Large-Enterprise sales teams have annual revenues exceeding $1 billion.

Key responsibilities:
  • Seek out and drive new business opportunities with new-to-Gartner organizations across your territory, from initial client outreach to close, targeting Large Enterprise organizations.
  • Convert viable prospects into active Gartner clients, owning the full sales conversation and negotiation, through to the transition of new clients to the account management team.
  • Continually build a pipeline of high-quality opportunities to deliver against your sales metrics, ensuring KPIs are met.
  • Quota responsibility for your assigned territory.
  • Manage complex high-revenue sales across matrix and diverse business environments.
  • Own forecasting and account planning on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis.
Requirements:
  • 5+ years' B2B sales experience, preferably in complex, intangible sales environments.
  • Business development or new-client acquisition experience in a selling role is highly desired.
  • Experience selling to and/or influencing C-level executives.
  • Proven track record meeting and exceeding sales targets.
  • Proven ability to precisely manage and forecast a complex sale process.
  • Willingness to conduct travel as needed.

Gartner offers a lifetime of opportunities driven by our growth. How far you go is driven by your passion and performance. We have a promote-from-within culture and limitless opportunities for progression. Our leaders focus on helping associates achieve success in their current role, as well as coaching associates to the next role or path, whether it be more senior BD levels, account management paths, or sales leadership.
  • Typical internal promotions include:
    • Business Development Director
    • Team Lead
    • Sales Manager
  • Most of our Sales Managers and Team Leads are hired internally as part of our progression path.
What you will get:
  • Competitive salary, generous paid time off policy, charity match program, and more.
  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture that embraces diversity.
  • Professional development and unlimited growth opportunities.
