What We’re Looking For….and Why

1.You’re at least 1 year out of your higher-education, having had business experience in sales and/or a customer-facing role because you learn a lot of operational basics in that first year, and you have the opportunity to not just make mistakes, but learn and move on.

2.You have over-the-top motivation and creativity to successfully reach prospects and create conversations because it’s very hard to connect these days and, once you do, clients expect a memorable conversation. This means knowledge, creativity, comfort, and risk-taking.

3.You are comfortable with using Salesforce.com, as well as other technology solutions to accomplish your work effectively because you’ll spend a lot of time in the CRM, our product can live natively inside of it, and if you’re not living the experience you’re selling, you won’t be effective.

4.You’re demonstrably competitive because success in this role depends entirely on your ability to hit numbers and get results. Just show that you’re driven by winning and that you know how to do it as part of a team….collaboration is critical here.

5.You’re willing to devote a minimum of 18 months to this role because account development can be a great jumping off point to other opportunities, yet the most successful and respected employees are those that can balance the ability to look and think ahead with the incredibly visible skill of being able to execute now AND execute consistently. 

Do you think you would be an asset in this role but don’t believe you meet the requirements we laid out? Then challenge us. Make the words in your cover letter or application jump off the page and build a case for why. We may not agree, but you have our commitment to listen.
