About The Role:
The software purchasing process is broken. Sales incentives compel vendors to drive the highest possible prices, regardless of value. Every sales force runs its own process, and the buyer struggles to follow each one across 100+ unique vendors. Companies are overspending, disillusioned, and frustrated. As sales reps, we created this problem.
