Account Executive

To the outside world we refer to this position as the Account Executive but internally, we've been struggling to get away from the slightly more descriptive title of SOW. SOW refers to share of wallet and that is exactly what this position is all about. Your primary focus and goal is to develop and build upon our existing customer accounts to make those relationships more "sticky" by adding additional services, executing on contract renewals, and asking for additional locations and / or referrals.

As part of Encore's mission to be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen, we have recently joined forces with Fire Service Group, based out of Holyoke, Massachusetts. This partnership not only allows us to expand our footprint and find top talent in the MA area, it also allows us to work with industry leaders who strive for the same level of excellence as we do.

The Account Executive is really a hybrid between an Inbound Marketer, an Outside Sales Consultant, and a Relationship Building Machine. It's true, people buy from who they like, so if you have an inherent love of and desire to serve clients, this could be the opportunity for you. It is also imperative that you not be offended by the SOW reference because despite best intentions, we really can't get away from the acronym.

Our Account Executives are responsible for augmenting our External Sales efforts by taking ownership of several critical functions including but not limited to : sourcing bid opportunities (public and private), completion of proposals, identifying cross-sale opportunities within our existing customer base of 4,000+, and facilitating the renewal of existing customer contracts.
