Join us as a Business Developer - Account Growth France 🇫🇷 to grow our existing French customers and support them over the long term. Each month you get a fresh portfolio of customers flagged from usage data. You call them, understand what they need, and close the upsell or cross-sell that fits. You will work from our Barcelona office, within our Inside Sales team, and report to Mattia Ferrario, our Account Growth Lead.
➡️ What you’ll do
Work your monthly portfolio: Review a refreshed list of customers, and decide who to call first and why.
Call customers who aren’t expecting your call: Quickly explain why you’re reaching out and give them a reason to keep listening.
Identify needs and recommend solutions: Ask thoughtful, open-ended questions to understand customer needs. Identify opportunities and recommend solutions that genuinely fit.
Handle objections and drive sales: Understand customer concerns, address hesitation without pressure, and turn relevant opportunities into upsell and cross-sell deals. Agree on clear next steps or follow up with the prospect.
Represent the customer’s voice: Track your activity and monthly MRR, use data and AI tools to identify opportunities and potential risks, and share customer feedback with internal teams. Step in to handle inbound calls when needed.
➡️ What we’re looking for
Sales experience: 1–2 years in sales, ideally in an SDR, BDR, full-cycle or junior Account Executive role with outbound calling and a track record of closing deals. A strong outbound internship can also qualify.
Confident and clear communication: You quickly build trust with business owners, both over the phone and in writing. You are comfortable handling a high volume of conversations while keeping your communication clear, structured and engaging.
A consultative approach: You listen first and recommend what actually helps the customer. Familiarity with SPIN, BANT or SPICED is a plus.
Open to feedback and AI: You actively seek feedback and put it into practice to keep improving. You use AI tools in your daily work to save time, work smarter and deliver better results.
Languages and location: You speak fluent French (native or bilingual) and professional English (C1 or equivalent). You are based in Barcelona, and the role is onsite (no full remote).
