• Negotiate with confidence: handle objections, present competitive differentiation, and close deals at or above minimum pricing thresholds.
• Act as a peer leader: model sales excellence, share best practices and mentor new hire Account Executives.
• Adapt and thrive through change: embrace new sales tools, evolving buyer behaviors, and product launches with agility and resilience.
• Accurate(+/- 5%) weekly forecasting

• Strong working knowledge of Outreach or other sales engagement tools.
• Comfort with Google Suite and other productivity platforms.
• Excellent communication skills: professional verbal presence, confident presentations and on-video demos, and polished written follow-up.
• High resilience and growth mindset - competitive, coachable, and committed to continuous improvement.
