• Schedule marketing assessments and discovery meetings for Sales Representatives to further assess a prospect's business and potential for partnership

We're looking for people who work well under these conditions:

  • Each day different from the next; especially in personal interactions Fast-paced environment Multiple projects going simultaneously
  • Extremely communication-focused Great deal of attention devoted to building and maintaining relationships Warm, empathetic, and helpful
  • Anything but routine decisions must not be made in a vacuum: it's very important to involve others in the process Most of the information that must be collected before making a decision comes from other people: customers, colleagues, consultants, etc
  • Communication is energetic, lively, free flowing, and informal Very persuasive, “selling” communication required Highly collaborative position: much time is spent working with others
  • High degree of comfort in delegation is required: position involves delegation of both authority and details Must quickly trust in others and be able to delegate easily, even with new people Leadership through building and maintaining strong relationships Very little follow-up required on delegated tasks; a deep understanding of others' capabilities and trust in their commitment is necessary

Summary

The duties of this job are primarily about making connections with other people. Relationships are formed quickly, informally, and comfortably, and gaining the enthusiasm and cooperation of others. In this job, it is very important to connect with other people: to meet new and different people on a day to day basis, to quickly form relationships, and to use those relationships to get work done. Great attentiveness to other people is required: an ability to read other people, to listen to them, and to empathize with them. Much of the work centers around working with and through other people. The job involves persuading others through gaining an understanding of where they’re coming from, and using that information to bring them to your desired resolution. Communication is almost always of a "selling" rather than "telling" nature. A lively enthusiasm is necessary. Personal interactions will generally be upbeat and cheerful, requiring someone who is warm, helpful, and friendly. Others must be put at ease, and feel welcome. This work is not detail-oriented in nature. The same easy-going, informal manner that is required of personal interactions carries over into any work products. The job is relatively free from direct involvement with details, with few strict guidelines. This job allows much flexibility in how the results are produced. There will be a fair degree of difference from one day to the next, especially with regard to personal interactions. There will be several "pots on the fire" at once, and a relatively quick pace is required to keep everything going smoothly.

Seedling’s Core Values

  • Connect with people - Make relationships personal and show that we care for them. 
  • Focus on the long term - Great work takes time. Never compromise on that. 
  • Always tell the truth - Be honest especially in the tough times.
  • Embrace change - Be flexible and adaptable. Learn to learn quickly.
  • Break new ground - Bring new ideas to life. Challenge the status quo.
