  • Comfortable with sales technology, including CRM tools (HubSpot), sales engagement platforms, and prospecting tools.
  • Strong communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills to sell at the executive level.
  • Self-starter mentality with a passion for winning and a drive to exceed expectations.
