SUMMARY OF JOB: As an Acquisition Account Executive, you’ll use your full-cycle selling skills to bring new subscribers onto the ZipRecruiter platform.

The goal is to prepare you for a seamless transition into a full quota-carrying role within your department.

Entry Level Inside Sales Executive Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level inside sales executive job?
Employers hiring entry level inside sales executives look for candidates who can demonstrate clear communication, persistence, and a customer-first mindset. Internship experience in sales, customer service, or business development gives you a strong edge. Familiarity with CRM tools like Salesforce, a history of hitting targets in any context, and the ability to handle objections confidently are the qualities that move entry level applicants to the top of the list.
Which companies hire entry level inside sales executives?
Companies hiring entry level inside sales executives right now include Flywire, Infoblox, and Bottomline, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, hiring covers fast-growing technology companies, financial services firms, and staffing organizations that build junior sales teams from the ground up and invest in on-the-job training.

About 56% of entry level inside sales executive openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so candidates who prefer flexibility will find options, particularly with technology and SaaS employers who have established distributed sales teams.
Are these new grad inside sales executive jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior inside sales executive roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward eligibility, or asks for a demonstrated interest in sales rather than a proven quota history. New grad candidates who can show initiative, coachability, and strong communication skills are competitive for these openings.
Which industries hire the most entry level inside sales executives?
Entry Level inside sales executive roles concentrate in Banking & Financial Services, Telecommunications, and Staffing & Recruiting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026.
