• Arrange and set in-person or virtual meetings with appropriate Key Decision Makers.
• Update and enhance the supporting database (Salesforce).
• Manage activity within the sales funnel to shorten the sales cycle time.

Qualifications:

• Sales experience within a professional services environment.
• Preference for “hunting” over “farming.”
• Comfort with using Excel and social media, specifically LinkedIn.
• Proficiency with Salesforce.com is an asset.
• Strong conversational skills, persuasiveness, and coachability.
• Competitive and team-oriented attitude, suited for those always looking to win.

Additional Qualifications:

• Understanding of general business practices across multiple industries.
• Reliability and the ability to work autonomously.
• A strong work ethic along with assertiveness and self-motivation to attain results.
• Leadership experience preferred but not required.

If you are driven by the thrill of the hunt and have the skills and attitude to match, we want to hear from you. Join our team and help us build lasting relationships that drive mutual success.
