• Mentor and support one Enterprise and one SMB salesperson through regular one-on-ones, pipeline reviews and deal coaching.
• Lead by example through your own outbound activity and deal execution.

Key OKRS

• New business won: Enterprise merchants signed and revenue generated from your own deals.
