• Educate customers on product features, data interpretation, and best practices for leveraging market intelligence to maximize the value of their subscription or engagement
• Act as a trusted advisor, offering consultative support rooted in an understanding of the self-storage and RV parks and campgrounds markets

Account Management

• Identify opportunities to expand relationships through additional products, services, or platform features
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all customer interactions and pipeline activity in CRM
• Collaborate with internal teams (marketing, product, support) to advocate for customer needs and provide feedback

Industry Events & Trade Shows

• Represent the brand and product offerings at self-storage industry conferences and trade shows, typically 2-3 major national events per year
• Attend regional and local industry events as needed to build relationships, generate leads, and stay current on market trends
• Engage prospects and existing accounts at events through booth presence, networking, and presentations, converting event interactions into pipeline opportunities
• Provide post-event follow-up and reporting to ensure leads and commitments are captured and acted upon in a timely manner

Required

• Demonstrated experience in a sales role - ideally combining new business development with account management
• Meaningful knowledge of or direct experience within the self-storage industry (operations, investment, brokerage, or related services); familiarity with RV parks and campgrounds is a plus
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to build trust and credibility with a variety of stakeholders
• Comfort operating in a consultative sales environment with longer relationship cycles
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple accounts and priorities simultaneously
• Proficiency with CRM platforms and general sales tools

Preferred

• Prior experience selling data products, SaaS platforms, market intelligence tools, or digital media - particularly in a real estate or commercial property context
