• Cold outreach - cold calling and cold approaching prospects with confidence and persistence.
• Growth path to AE - this role is built as the first step toward becoming an Account Executive. You'll start with lead generation and outreach, and grow into running demos and closing deals yourself.
• Pipeline ownership - you'll manage your own leads and visits, and gain deep knowledge of CRM system along the way.

Your profile

• Based in NRW
• Willing to visit companies in person, every day
• Comfortable with cold calls and cold outreach
• German at C1 or above, fluent English
