2. Customer Acquisition:

• Engage with prospects and build strong relationships to understand their grant management challenges.
• Conduct product demonstrations and presentations to showcase the benefits of our grants management system.
• Collaborate with the product team to gather customer feedback and communicate feature requests and/or improvements.
• Develop and negotiate contracts and pricing agreements in collaboration with the executive team.

3. Networking and Industry Engagement:

• Attend relevant industry conferences, events, and networking opportunities to promote our grants management system and establish strategic partnerships.
• Stay up-to-date with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in grants management to provide thought leadership and valuable insights to clients.

4. Team Collaboration:

• Work closely with the founding team to refine sales strategies, pricing models, and go-to-market plans.
• Collaborate with marketing and product teams to develop compelling sales collateral, marketing campaigns, and product messaging.

Qualifications:

• 1-2 years of full cycle sales experience with a proven track record of success, preferably in nonprofit B2B software or technology sales.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex concepts in a clear and compelling manner.
• Demonstrated ability to problem solve with key stakeholders at all levels, from executives to end-users.
• Self-starter with a proactive and entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Ability to work independently and make data-driven decisions.
• Familiarity with CRM software and sales tools.
• Understanding of the grants management ecosystem, including nonprofits, foundations, and government agencies is a plus.
