• Educate and guide industry professionals to utilize automation and data to create untapped value for their business.
• Bring a team player attitude and excellent communication skills.
• Own and exceed a monthly individual quota working inbound and self-sourced leads through qualification, demo, consensus building, and close.
• Work hand in hand with your team and the Director of Sales as a thought and strategy partner to drive revenue attainment in a cutting-edge sales organization.
• Drive revenue in a fast-growing firm where your impact, growth, and success matter.

We are looking for people who have:

3+ years of work experience in management consulting, B2B SaaS sales, or other client-facing analytical professional roles.

• High energy and positive attitude.
• High activity and results-driven work ethics.
• Strong customer-facing and presentation skills to establish credibility with executives.
• Experience negotiating and navigating contracts and legal discussions.
• Proficient: CRM (HubSpot), LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Slack, MS Office.
• Preferred understanding of the Challenger Sales Methodology and best practices.
• Proven ability to execute a thorough sales discovery as well as follow the Challenger Methodology
• Persuasive speaking skills and persistent with follow-up
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, remote team environment
• Strong financial acumen related to product pricing, customer profitability, and achieving sales goals
• BS/BA degree preferred (or commensurate experience).
• What we offer:
• In addition to a competitive salary, we offer an aggressive compensation package.
• Employer paid comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision
• Unlimited Vacation, Paid Sick Leave, and major US Holidays
• Remote-first work environment -we have an office in San Antonio and Austin, Texas, but our teammates are all over the United States.
• 401K
• You will be part of a small, professional fast-moving team that allows employees to be their most creative version of themselves.
