    • Size and quote customer software license needs.
    • Interact with prospects over phone, email, video conference, and on-site meetings when necessary.
    • Support marketing efforts with account-based customer-focused marketing campaigns.

    • Salesforce.com expertise; you know it and can’t imagine sales without it.
    • Customer-Centric focus; We Want Happy Customers.
    • Written and spoken English and German at a professional level.
