Sales teams at tech companies attract a certain type of person. They tend to be the sorts of people who can talk themselves out of (or into) just about any situation. They're hungry, ambitious, creative and, above all else, in it for the sale. They see the full potential of a company's product and are experts at conveying that to others — especially those with budget. If that sounds like you, here are five 5 NYC tech companies that want to meet you.
Director, National Accounts - NY
What they do: Progyny’s mission — apart from coming up with creative ways to spell progeny — is to empower people who want to have a baby. Amongst other things, they provide patients with price transparency, access to top fertility doctors and financing. They’re a tech company that specializes in getting people knocked up efficiently, safely and inexpensively.

And, when I say all sizes, I mean all the way up to the really big players like Uber, Evernote, Twitter, Adobe, and Salesforce. It’s also worth noting that InVision provides their sales team members with a gym membership, an unlimited Starbucks card and unlimited books from Amazon — so you can get all jacked up and read whatever you want on the elliptical.
