• Plan all customer engagements to deliver value propositions to the customer, plus profitable revenue growth for the business.
• Be trustworthy and motivated to be able to operate autonomously and effectively throughout your region.
• Understand the value of sales reporting, forecasting, and leveraging the CRM system to maintain an accurate pipeline and drive growth.

 
What we are looking for:
This role will suit a sales professional with demonstratable success in Account Management with a solid grasp of consultative selling strategies and educating customers to new products, and new technology. You will be driven to not just meet and exceed your targets but have a growth & solution mindset, outcome focused, coachable, and hungry for success.
