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.

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

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.
