What We Are Looking For In Our Account Executives

You are a successful, passionate sales professional with a proven track record of managing a healthy funnel of opportunities and overachieving your quotas.

As a sales person, you are driven by challenge and enjoy collaborating with colleagues to reach team goals. You tend to be more organized than others and have experience using Salesforce or other comparable CRM software. You are motivated by friendly competition and tend to rise to the top sales organizations as an enthusiastic self-starter that champions time management and creative problem solving. And to boot, your clients LOVE you.
