- Manage an average three-month sales cycle from initial conversation through close
- Maintain accurate CRM activity, pipeline stages, next steps, and forecasts
- Earn access to key accounts through consistent performance and demonstrated ownership
Qualifications
- Successful experience selling software development, IT consulting, managed services, or digital transformation solutions
