• Building and innovating the sales closer role by identifying and analysing trends or opportunities during your calls and sharing insights across the sales and marketing teams.
• Work with management on a day-to-day basis to communicate results from your calls.
• Help drive growth of the organization by maximizing the number of leads that become clients by learning our product, hardware, and sales and negotiation frameworks that support your activity.
• Rigorously pay attention to logging calls, qualifying opportunities, delivering demos, and persuading owners to on-board with Rezku POS so you optimize the sales process.
• Have a strong handle on your own performance and transparent communication with your sales team and leadership.

What We’re Looking For:

• At least 2 years of experience in outbound sales, with strong results in the SMB market.
