• Strong communication, discovery, presentation, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• Confidence engaging business owners, managers and technical decision-makers.
• Resilience, accountability and the ability to work independently in a field-based environment.
• Strong organization and time-management skills with the discipline to manage a territory and sales funnel.
