• Knowledge of how to navigate a complex organization across all levels, including the C-suite, IT, and the primary decision-maker. You can effectively identify and empower an internal champion who speaks the company’s “language” and can help position ASAPP within the company.
• Not “just” a product salesperson - you prioritize relationships and open dialogue to identify and provide solutions to a customer's needs. You are hyper-focused on the customer rather than the product being sold.
• Showing up differently than a product vs. product seller - you do your research, ask the right questions, listen with the intent to meet the customer where they are & guide them to where they need to be
• Knowledge of which resources to bring in & use the full force of the business and all of its assets
