• Be curious and willing to ask questions to understand a customer's needs.
• Have a positive, professional, and helpful attitude.
• Be motivated by goals and results.
• Be organized and good at following through.
• Be comfortable learning new products and technology.
• Be able to work independently while also being part of a team.
• Have previous sales, customer service, account management, or related experience. Sales experience is preferred but not required for the right candidate.

How You'll Measure Success

• Customer contact and follow-up activity
