• With diligent and accurate use of CRM and embracing sales processes, you will contribute to identifying trends within your allocated account set.
• Own your target and exceed via value-based selling

What We’re Looking For

• Customer orientated approach to maintaining and growing accounts
• Excellent time management skills, working with high levels of autonomy and self-direction
• Confidence engaging with senior decision makers
