  • Regularly update all active accounts, reporting on sales activities, status, and progress.
  • Maintain a high level of customer satisfaction and referenceability.
  • Travel for client visits and presentations as needed.

Requirements:

  • 2+ years of progressive SaaS software sales experience, with a proven "hunter" mentality.
  • Demonstrated success in closing business in large complex enterprise accounts.
  • Excellent negotiation, analytical, financial, and organizational skills, thriving in an evolving entrepreneurial environment.
  • Outstanding verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to operate tactically and strategically in a high-energy, fast-paced environment.
  • A self-starter mentality with a strong sense of collaboration.
