• Navigate internal systems to produce timely quotes and run well-prepared, agenda-driven customer meetings.
• Engage internal resources and the broader sales ecosystem to drive high-impact opportunities to close with urgency.
• Keep Salesforce.com current with accurate stages, notes, account plans, activity reports, and reliable monthly forecasts.
• Mentor teammates, attend required training, and lead by example with energy and integrity.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of sales experience, ideally in an inside, desk-based, or hybrid role.
• Background selling telecom solutions and comparable products and services.
• Proven track record opening new accounts and territories (a strong plus).
