• Identify whitespace and growth opportunities within accounts, leading commercial negotiations and collaborating with internal teams to deliver tailored expansion strategies.
• Stay actively engaged in internal collaboration, including regular sales meetings, to maintain strong alignment with colleagues and ensure a consistent client experience.
• Partner closely with solution consultants, operations, customer success, partners, and senior stakeholders to deliver tailored, outcome-focused solutions that drive measurable business value for clients.
• Proactively communicate the business impact and ROI of our solutions, helping clients justify and maximise their investment in Unit4 .
• Act as the voice of the customer internally, ensuring their success through proactive engagement, quarterly business reviews, and alignment on long-term objectives.
• Continuously stay up-to-date with relevant industry trends, client challenges, and Unit4's evolving solution portfolio to ensure you can confidently advise clients as a trusted strategic partner.
• Leverage your experience selling ERP, to uncover and close high-value opportunities.
• Combine individual ownership with a collaborative mindset, working cross-functionally with solution consultants, marketing, partners, and customer success teams to deliver compelling proposals and outstanding client experiences.
• Demonstrate a deep understanding of business processes, enabling you to engage confidently with stakeholders across finance, operations, and IT.
• Bring a lively, energetic personality to the team environment, with the ability to inspire those around you and foster a positive, performance-driven culture.
• Engage at C-suite level, building strong executive relationships and articulating business value through a solution sales and value-based approach.
• Apply structured sales methodologies such as MEDDPICC to effectively qualify, advance, and close complex deals.
• Exhibit strong negotiation skills, always balancing customer needs with commercial outcomes.
