About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Identify and define Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs), including new prospects with multiple locations and existing prospects to land and expand (e.g., Payments, Tekmetric Marketing, TireSuite, Motovisuals).
Identify prospects, qualify leads, and engage them via various channels, including in-person meetings and lunch-n-learns.
Set appointments, land new accounts, and expand them over time by selling additional products/services.
Where necessary, work with customer onboarding and customer success teams to safeguard initial investments and ensure the long-term value of newly acquired accounts.
Build stronger, in-person relationships, as this makes it harder for prospects to say 'no' compared to a virtual engagement.
Plan daily routes to minimize "windshield time" and optimize travel efficiency, as time spent traveling is time not selling. Route planning should be done in advance (e.g., 2 weeks) in collaboration with your manager/leader.
Manage and execute a defined sales cadence/sequence for prospect accounts (e.g., Call, Email, Visit, Email, Call).
Work in tandem with Channel Partner Managers (CPMs) in a POD structure to hold in-person demos for channel leads, which preserves partner trust and minimizes the sales cycle.
Manage the CRM by tracking and updating all activities directly in Salesforce.
Document key sales activities to ensure we understand what success looks like regarding touchpoints and time to close.
Track follow-ups, manage account/lead assignments, and maintain pipeline hygiene.
Accurately forecast sales to provide transparency and accountability.
Heavy documentation of key activities is required to help define activity-based KPIs that drive success and to serve as a template for scale-up.
