Keeping your activity and pipeline up to date in Salesforce.
Sharing insights from customer conversations to help spot trends, opportunities and competitor activity.
Working with internal teams to make sure new members get off to a smooth start.

Experience in inbound sales, direct sales or account management.
A track record of consistently hitting sales targets.
Resilience and determination in a fast-moving sales environment.
Confidence in handling objections and moving deals forward.
Strong written and verbal communication that builds trust quickly.
A proactive, curious mindset and interest in how markets move.
