- Have continuous follow-up with prospects from the different events attended to close deals.
- Work closely with enterprise sales reps, sales engineers, and sales leadership; help enterprise sales reps lead virtual product demos including discovery, value demonstrations, proposal delivery, RFPs, and deal close.
Who You Are
- 4-year college degree or comparable, continuous work experience with an impressive track record of success
- Experience working in or with K-12 school districts, preferably large school district experience, and dealing with complex full sales cycles (6-24 months)
- Capable of managing your day and being effective & efficient
