Are you looking to build a career in software sales and seeking for an opportunity to build the experience you have already gained? We are looking for an ambitious, commercially minded person who is early-in-their-career to join the VertiGIS UK sales team.
You don't need to be an expert in geospatial technology, we're more interested in your ability to communicate, build relationships, learn quickly and understand what customers need. If this sounds like you, and you have a couple of years of experience in technical sales, Pre-Sales or GIS, then we would love to hear from you.
Our sectors are growing at pace, and we have decided to bring in someone with a couple of years’ experience in the real world. You'll work alongside experienced sales and technical colleagues who will help you develop the skills and experience needed to build a successful career in software sales.
If you think you have what it takes, then contact us to set up a conversation.
The Role
Your focus will be on our existing customers. You’ll build strong customer relationships, understand their business challenges, manage software renewals and identify opportunities where VertiGIS technology and services we can provide additional value.
This is not primarily a new-business or "hunter" role. Instead, you’ll focus on developing and growing existing accounts through thoughtful account mining, manage your sales pipeline, identifying upsell opportunities and making sure our customers continue to get value from working with us.
As your experience develops there will also be opportunities to win new business and build your own pipeline.
