Required Skills & Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience in fleet management, heavy equipment, or construction tech environments. 
  • Familiarity with ROI-based solution selling in both mid-market and enterprise segments. 
  • Background working in a quota-carrying overlay or specialized sales role where cross-functional collaboration was essential. 

Comfortable using typical sales tech stacks (Salesforce, LinkedIn Navigator, outreach tools) and presentation software (Google Slides, PowerPoint).

Technical Fluency

  • Ability to understand and confidently discuss device setup, network connectivity, and integration with cloud-based platforms.
  • Strongly Preferred: Prior experience with telematics, IoT hardware, or equipment monitoring solutions. 

Sales Acumen

  • Proven success in consultative or solution-based selling environments—especially for complex or hardware-based products. 
  • Skilled at ROI presentation, TCO (total cost of ownership) analysis, and business value articulation for enterprise-level accounts.

Communication & Presentation

  • Adept at distilling complex technical concepts into clear, digestible terms for multiple audience types (technical, operational, C-suite). 
  • Comfort with adjusting tone and content on-the-fly, ensuring each stakeholder feels heard and understood.

Collaboration & Partnership

  • Demonstrated ability to work smoothly within a “co-sell” or overlay model, respecting AE account ownership. 
  • Strong teaming mindset—no “lone-wolf” approach. Excels at coordinating with cross-functional partners (Sales, Product, CS).

Organization & Follow-Up

  • Detail-oriented approach to tracking outstanding questions, next steps, and internal tasks. 
  • Consistent record of effective pipeline management and thorough documentation in CRM or other tracking tools.

Credibility & Integrity

  • Trustworthy demeanor; avoids overly “salesy” tactics in favor of listening, empathy, and transparent solutions. 
  • Honest assessment of feasibility and willingness/capability to raise red flags if an ask is not currently supported or is high complexity.
Key Responsibilities

Product Expertise & Demonstrations

  • Become the go-to authority on our Equipment Monitoring suite: configuration details, hardware specs, integration workflows, and competitive landscape. 
  • Conduct tailored product demos and technical deep-dives for prospective customers at varying levels of sophistication.
  • Consult with Product team on features, functionality, and new product roadmap for maximum product market fit. 

Consultative Customer Engagement

  • Listen to and dissect customer challenges, mapping needs to Motive’s Equipment Monitoring solutions. 
  • Adapt conversations to the customer’s technical aptitude and business goals—ranging from high-level ROI discussions to in-depth hardware specifics. 
  • Communicate any product gaps or advanced requests back to product teams, balancing feasibility with honest, accurate timelines for customers.

Collaboration with AEs

  • Work hand-in-hand with the AE, aligning on deal strategy and ensuring no overlap or confusion in roles. 
  • Support the AE by adding credibility as a neutral product expert rather than a purely sales-driven voice. 
  • Share ownership of the Equipment Monitoring deal pipeline and collaborate on territory planning once the account signals interest.

Proposal & Presentation Development

  • Customize decks, data sheets, or ROI calculators that speak directly to individual customer pain points. 
  • Provide clarity on cost-benefit models, ramp timelines, and the long-term value proposition for asset tracking hardware.

Detailed Follow-Through

  • Capture every customer question, concern, or “wish list” item—no matter how small—and ensure it’s addressed promptly. 
  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders (Implementation, Customer Success, Product) to provide accurate, timely updates. 
  • Maintain comprehensive notes and action items, ensuring commitments are tracked to completion.

Implementation Handoff & Post-Sale Transition

  • Guide customers through initial onboarding steps to help them deploy hardware and start measuring ROI quickly. 
  • Facilitate a seamless handoff to Implementation and CS teams while staying accessible if deeper product expertise is required.
