You recognize that "winning" in a world of reluctant and risk-averse customers means leading customer meetings with insight, and challenging customer assumptions to mobilize them around a purchase. You have a proven track record of acquiring a deep understanding of the customer's business and using that understanding to push the customer's thinking and teaching them something new about how they can operate more efficiently / effectively.

  • Working collaboratively with Customer Success to ensure the successful onboarding of new customers.
  • Assist other sales staff with closing their leads as needed.
