Role Overview
Part of Packt's mission is achieved through the sale of ExpertEdge, our B2B subscription platform, to businesses. This is a successful and growing part of the Packt business. We are looking for a Sales Executive to research, identify, and sell ExpertEdge subscriptions to enterprise businesses, build relationships with L&D and business leaders, and cultivate relationships with existing customers.
Reporting to the National Sales Manager, you will research the B2B enterprise market, generate new potential leads, and meet with businesses to sell access to ExpertEdge's library of technical and soft-skills content. You will meet regularly with both potential and existing accounts, understanding and recording their key L&D challenges and requirements. The ideal candidate will have strong B2B sales experience and strong relational, written, and verbal communication skills.
We are looking for someone who is conscientious, proactive, and passionate, capable of taking the initiative, building lasting relationships, as well as rapidly converting centrally driven enquiries. International engagement will be conducted primarily via video and team calls, with domestic travel required for India-based accounts.

- Stay informed about learning technology standards, LMS integration requirements, and the latest trends in corporate L&D.
- Ready to travel domestically within India as required for in-person client meetings; no international travel is required, with global accounts managed remotely via video/team calls.
