• Strong consultative selling skills, with the ability to coach prospects on their business objectives and challenges and go beyond the basic product demo.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, plus the self-motivation and high energy to thrive in a competitive but fun team environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint, and a bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.

Bonus points if you also have:

• Software as a Service (SaaS) sales experience.
• Experience with Salesforce or another CRM tool.
