  • Navigate complex organizational structures and identify all relevant decision-makers and influencers.
  • Understand the competitive landscape and articulate our differentiating factors effectively.
  • Collaboration & Communication :
  • Collaborate closely with the Sales Development, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success teams to ensure a seamless prospect and customer experience.

  • Consultative Selling & Discovery :  Strong ability to conduct deep discovery, actively listen, understand complex business challenges, and articulate value-based solutions rather than just features.
  • Compelling Presentation & Demonstration :  Exceptional ability to deliver engaging and tailored virtual product demonstrations and presentations that resonate with diverse audiences, including C-level executives.
  • Objection Handling & Negotiation :  Proven skill in anticipating, addressing, and overcoming objections effectively, leading to successful negotiations and deal closures.

  • Adaptability & Learning Agacity :  Quick learner, capable of adapting to new technologies, market changes, and evolving sales strategies.
  • Tech Savvy :  Comfortable with SaaS platforms and proficient in using sales engagement tools (e.g., SalesLoft, Outreach.io), prospecting tools (e.g., ZoomInfo, Lusha), and CRM systems.
