Dear Sales Hiring Manager,
I'm applying for the Mid-Market Account Executive role at Gong. Last year I carried a $1.4M quota as a mid-market AE at Outreach, closed $1.82M (130% attainment), and ranked 4 of 22 AEs on the team — numbers I'd be happy to verify with my manager references.
The 30 accounts in my current book are fintech verticals with $80-180k average contract values, sold on an inbound-assisted outbound motion. I built six multi-thread enterprise deals over the last year averaging $280k ACV, including a seven-figure logo win in Q3. My tooling is Salesforce, Gong, Outreach, and Apollo, with outbound reply rates around 9% and booked-meeting rates around 3.4% — roughly double the team average.
Gong caught my attention because the product is one of the few sales tools I use daily and trust. That's rare, and it changes the sales motion: the pitch is closer to a demo than a deck, and renewals compound rather than leak. I want to sell a product I genuinely use, in a market where the category is still expanding, against competitors I know from the buy side.
Could we schedule 20 minutes next week to compare notes on your current mid-market territory and where you're looking to invest? I'd also be happy to walk through the Q3 seven-figure deal as a worked example of how I run multi-threaded cycles.
Respectfully, Taylor Brooks
