• Engage with prospective organisations using value-based selling techniques, including business case development, ROI analysis, customer references, and industry data.

• Collaborate with internal teams such as Sales Engineers, Professional Services, Executives, and Partners to manage the entire sales process.

• Deliver short-term results while maintaining a long-term view to maximise overall revenue growth.

• Ensure all customer and pipeline data is accurately updated in Salesforce.

• Provide accurate weekly forecasts and revenue reporting.
