• You bring a strong coaching mindset and a genuine passion for developing sales professionals and driving team engagement.
• You take an analytical, data-driven approach to sales strategy and know how to turn insights into impactful actions.
• You have experience working with SMB customers and understand the nuances of their sales cycles and needs.
• You’re proficient with CRM tools like Salesforce and Gong, as well as sales automation platforms.
• You excel in communication, collaboration, and problem-solving across cross-functional teams.
