Reporting: Our sales process is fast and simple, but (like any startup) requires iteration and thought. So, metrics matter.

AEs manage personal reporting on metrics everyday and every quarter.


Quotas: You are responsible for achieving a monthly sales quota in data, phone, and video sales. Experienced AEs will have an understanding of this and can deliver on quotas or partner with the executive team to analyze where there are deficiencies. Let's build a machine.


ProductInsights: We work as a team to learn from prospects, customers, and community in order to build the best experience for all of our stakeholders. Work with product and success teams to communicate prospective needs. Compile and analyze data in partnership with executive team to find trends.
