The main differences to me between an Account executive and a Senior account executive comes down to organization, pipeline management, and using a solid sales process like MEDDPICC.
Senior AEs always have their CRM (like Salesforce) up to date, accurately forecast QoQ, and know how to multi-thread deals.
More Junior AEs tend to have "Closed lost reasons" such as "Wrong Decision Maker/Not the DM" or "Client went dark" This typically shows an inability to build strong relationships or following a consistent sales process.
