Joblaze insights
Quick facts
From the original posting
Everything above about our inbound funnel is true, and this isn't that seat.
Strategic sells to high growth Series B and C companies ready to make Lightfield their entire GTM system — not a CRM sitting alongside six other tools, but the thing sales, marketing and customer success all run on. That means the sale includes sales methodology, reporting and forecasting, and it means you're replacing systems and process a company has already built around.
There aren't many of these deals. Each one runs $80–150K, takes real discovery, and is won across a buying committee rather than with a champion. You'll spend more time on fewer accounts than anyone else, and each one you land changes the company's revenue profile.
There's no strategic playbook to inherit. There's a product with real traction, a category argument that hasn't been made yet at this deal size, and a founder who'll be in your deals with you.
Own a small book of Series B and C target accounts, self-sourced and worked deliberately
Run deep discovery — how they sell today, what their methodology is, where forecasting breaks, what they've built process around
Multi-thread across sales, marketing and customer success leadership, because the whole GTM is the sale and no one of those three can buy it alone
Design the implementation: what gets migrated, in what order, which team goes live first, what the first 90 days look like
Displace incumbent systems — data, migration and change-management objections alongside product ones
Build the strategic motion itself: target account criteria, the discovery framework, the migration story, the pilot structure
Partner with product on what Series B and C companies need that we don't have yet
5–10 years selling B2B SaaS, with a documented record closing at $80K+ ACV
You self-source. Tell us what percentage of your closed-won you generated yourself, and how.
Your discovery is the strongest part of your game. At this deal size the win is decided before the demo.
You multi-thread across functions, not just seniority levels. Name the three departments you had to align in your last big deal.
You've scoped an implementation as part of a sale — not handed it to a solutions team after signature.
You've displaced an incumbent system, or replaced a process a company had already committed to.
You've sold at a startup, pre-seed through Series D, and you know what it's like when the answer to "does the product do that" is sometimes not yet.
You sell consultatively. At this deal size there is no other way.
Grit that shows up somewhere verifiable.
