About the position

In this role, you will be responsible for Regional Enterprise sales account development within an established geographic territory, focusing on a moderately complex set of products and services. Your primary objective will be to drive business growth by identifying and pursuing new sales opportunities with prospective enterprise customers headquartered in the region. This will involve a variety of prospecting activities, including cold calling, premise visits, networking, lead generation, proposal submissions, and customer appointments. You will be expected to provide an accurate and detailed weekly forecast funnel of identified and proposed opportunities to meet or exceed sales quota requirements. You will also be tasked with developing Regional Enterprise sales in designated target markets, which requires effective relationship-building internally through cross-functional collaboration with partners such as Customer Success, Product, Marketing, Solutions/Technology experts, Sales Support, and Service Delivery.
