  • Consistently achieve or exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets.
  • Maintain accurate records of sales activities, opportunities, and pipeline progress using CRM software.
  • Collaborate with internal marketing, account management, and delivery teams to ensure smooth client onboarding.

Requirements

  • Proficiency with CRM platforms such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or similar tools.
  • Excellent English communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
