Account Executive – Digital Marketing Sales & Closing | GoHighLevel | Remote

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Eastern Time (ET) Business Hours
Industry: Digital Marketing Agency

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients, a digital marketing agency serving U.S.-based businesses, is hiring an experienced Account Executive to manage the sales process from the first conversation through close.

This is a consultative sales role, not a scripted sales position. You’ll engage inbound leads, conduct discovery calls, uncover business challenges, recommend relevant digital marketing solutions, handle objections, negotiate, and take full ownership of qualified opportunities through closing.

You’ll also manage your pipeline directly in GoHighLevel (GHL), maintaining accurate records and consistent follow-up so qualified opportunities continue progressing.

If you’re a confident closer who understands how to lead discovery conversations, identify real business pain points, and turn inbound interest into new clients, this role is a strong fit.

  • Understand what prospects are trying to accomplish before recommending a solution

  • Help prospects understand how proposed solutions address their specific business challenges

Pipeline Management

  • Own opportunities from initial contact through close
  • Maintain consistent follow-up with active prospects
  • Identify stalled opportunities and determine appropriate next steps
  • Re-engage prospects when appropriate
  • Prioritize leads based on:
    • Urgency
    • Fit
    • Sales readiness
    • Likelihood to close
  • Maintain visibility into upcoming follow-ups and active opportunities
  • Ensure qualified prospects do not fall through the cracks

    • Follow-up tasks
    • Pipeline stages
  • Track conversations and next steps
  • Keep CRM records current after prospect interactions
  • Maintain accurate sales activity and pipeline reporting
  • Use GHL consistently as the source of truth for sales opportunities
  • Ensure no qualified opportunity is overlooked due to incomplete CRM management

Client Communication

  • Build strong relationships with prospective clients
  • Communicate confidently with U.S.-based business owners and decision-makers
  • Clearly explain digital marketing services in business-focused language
  • Understand prospect concerns and respond with relevant solutions
  • Build credibility throughout the sales process

  • Experience handling objections and negotiations
  • Hands-on GoHighLevel (GHL) experience – required

    • Web development
    • Related marketing services

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you:

  • Are a confident salesperson who knows how to lead a conversation and close
  • Prefer consultative selling over reading from a rigid script
  • Know how to ask strong discovery questions
  • Can uncover the business problem behind a prospect’s initial inquiry
  • Understand how to connect client pain points with relevant solutions
  • Are comfortable handling objections and negotiations
  • Communicate confidently with U.S.-based business owners
  • Are persistent with follow-up without losing professionalism
  • Take full ownership of your pipeline
  • Keep your CRM organized and up to date
  • Can manage multiple active opportunities independently
  • Are motivated by measurable sales results

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Your day may begin by reviewing new inbound leads and pipeline priorities in GoHighLevel, followed by responding to prospects who have recently expressed interest.

Throughout the day, you’ll conduct discovery and sales calls, qualify prospects, uncover business challenges, and recommend appropriate digital marketing solutions.

You’ll also follow up with active and stalled opportunities, handle objections, negotiate with qualified prospects, and update GHL with accurate notes, activities, and next steps.

In short: you turn inbound interest into qualified opportunities and guide prospects through a consultative sales process from discovery to close.

Key Metrics for Success

  • Speed and consistency of inbound lead response
  • Qualified opportunities generated
  • Discovery calls completed
  • Lead-to-opportunity conversion rate
  • Opportunity-to-close conversion rate
  • Closed deals and sales performance
  • Consistent follow-up across active opportunities
  • Pipeline progression and deal velocity
  • Accurate and current GHL records
  • Effective re-engagement of stalled prospects
  • Strong objection handling and negotiation
  • Consistent achievement of sales targets

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Focus on inbound opportunities rather than purely cold outbound prospecting
  • Full ownership of opportunities from discovery through close
  • Consultative sales environment rather than rigid scripted selling
  • Sell digital marketing solutions to U.S.-based businesses
  • Hands-on use of GoHighLevel
  • Exposure to SEO, paid advertising, and web development services
  • Fully remote working environment
  • Career growth opportunities into:
    • Senior Account Executive
    • Senior Sales Executive
    • Sales Team Lead
    • Sales Manager
    • Business Development Manager
