You will spend your time developing new opportunities, and establishing trust and credibility with end-users, influencers, and decision-makers at all levels of your assigned accounts.  You will be required to conduct product demonstrations in person and via web-based technologies, managing complex sales cycles with these large companies, as well as aligning with key partners in the territory to help exceed your targets.

What You Bring: 

• You have a 3+ year track record of exceeding quota in a SaaS technology sales environment.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills

• Ability to work independently while teaming up with business partners (internal and external) to sell technology solutions between $50K - $1M+.

• Working closely with your partners in your assigned territory will also be critical to your success

• Well-spoken and poised; ability to command the attention of a room and bring a high level of energy

• People consider you a leader and you are adept at influencing others to work with you on behalf of the customer

• While operating at a high level already, you seek to continue your career growth and view training and coaching as a benefit to your goals

• Ability to track sales metrics and performance as a way to aid personal improvement

• We believe strongly in personal development for all members of our team, therefore we are only considering candidates interested in career growth and continuous learning

Preferred:
