WORKING IN TANDEM

Getting it done in a cohesive — and incentivizing — way

At Checkout.com, no talents go untapped. Sales ops ensures clean Salesforce data; sales enablement furnishes the right resources; Cohen, beyond his normal duties, has chipped in by authoring an industry-specific blog post that served as a learning tool for prospects. As for enhancing the sales experience, Cohen noted that a generous commission provides team members “the potential to be a major contributor.”

What I love most about the sales team at Checkout.com is that it fosters collaboration. A strong team mindset is encouraged by our sales leadership and our CEO.

BUILDING UP CULTURE

Taking action to bolster colleague cohesion

Though hired in mid-2021, Radke is already assuming a role in shaping company values after being selected to join the “Culture Champion” team. “It’s a new international initiative to address culture and make sure that Checkout.com colleagues feel included, connected and valued,” she said, adding that colleague-driven links like topic-specific Slack channels and happy hours are a big part of the employee experience.

There isn’t an official motto, but in my short time here I have experienced that there is a sort of a ‘one team, one mission’ mentality that I find very refreshing.

ENCOURAGED TO THRIVE

Team members get what they need to grow

After joining Checkout.com, Casey got to lead a handful of new events, despite being a newcomer. Not to worry: With support from an encouraging manager, she didn’t just chart the new terrain — but built one program into “the most successful virtual event to date,” according to Casey. She also called out mentorship from senior leadership, quarterly-goal setting and knowledgeable peers as catalysts for growth.

The fast-paced environment and my manager have opened doors that have challenged me while also allowing my specific skill set to shine.
