  • Develop client relationships across short-term transactional deals and longer-term subscriptions
  • Travel to clients and industry events (approx. 25%+)

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of full-cycle B2B sales experience with a record of exceeding quotas

  • Prior success selling to law firms strongly preferred

  • Skilled at cold calling, objection handling, and closing

  • Confident in both virtual and in-person meetings; polished presence and business acumen

  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, evolving environment

  • Proficiency in Salesforce and Google Workspace

Additional Information
