What you will do

• Proactively build and manage a pipeline focused on the acquisition of new strategic enterprise accounts (new logos)

• Conduct solution-based sales engagements, including client meetings, executive presentations, and product demonstrations (face-to-face and virtual)

• Maintain “White Space” analysis and execute strategic initiatives to upsell and cross-sell within the existing customer base

• Develop and deliver comprehensive business cases that quantify the cost of inaction and address customer priorities, pain points, and ROI

• Structure, negotiate, and close complex deals, guiding corporate clients step-by-step through enterprise procurement, security compliance, and legal processes

• Orchestrate multi-threading strategies to navigate enterprise politics, establishing strong relationships with C-Suite executives and key stakeholders across various verticals

• Keep an accurate track record of personal sales activities in the CRM, including methodical mid- and long-term forecasting

• Provide relevant customer feedback to the product development team and collaborate with Customer Success, Marketing, and Inbound Sales to maximize revenue and customer satisfaction

• 4–7 years of demonstrable quota-carrying success in B2B sales

• Proven track record of managing lengthy or complex enterprise sales cycles

• Significant experience selling directly to C-level executives (CxOs) and multi-threading within large enterprise organizations

• Clear understanding of, and practical experience with, consultative sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC/MEDPIC, SPIN, Challenger)
