You are resourceful when faced with challenges and have an intuitive sense of the necessary steps to close business and gain customer validation.
In this role, you will prospect into large Fortune 1000 companies while running an efficient sales process. You will maintain, build, and own specific relationship maps for your territory, which includes both existing relationships and aspirational contacts. Your goal is to develop a deep understanding of your customers' businesses, enabling you to identify robust business drivers behind all opportunities. You will ensure high forecasting accuracy and consistency, which is crucial for managing your sales pipeline effectively.
You will handle existing customer expectations while expanding your reach and depth into your assigned territory.
