• Be the Trusted Advisor: Dive deep into each client's business landscape to uncover challenges and deliver solutions that drive real results, fostering enduring partnerships.
• Collaborate for Seamless Success: Work closely with Sales Campaign Managers, BDRs, your Team Lead, Customer Success, and Marketing to gain a deeper understanding of the market, ensure every new client experiences a smooth transition and immediate value realization, and continuously refine your sales approach.

• Outstanding Communicator & Influencer: You know how to spark conversations, build instant rapport, and confidently engage decision-makers - including C-level executives. You're outgoing, energetic, and thrive on building meaningful connections.
• Analytical Mindset & Customer Focus: You combine sharp problem-solving skills with a deep curiosity to understand customer needs - and turn insights into impactful solutions.
• Self-Starter with Resilience: You take initiative, stay motivated under pressure, and keep pushing forward - even when facing "no." Targets aren't goals; they're your baseline.
• Adaptable & Growth-Oriented: You're positive, professional, and energized by change. You embrace feedback, love learning, and thrive in a fast-paced, ever-evolving sales environment.
• Language Proficiency: You speak Swiss German at a native level and possess fluent English skills, enabling effective communication with a diverse client base.

Desirable (but not required):

• CRM Enthusiast: You have worked with HubSpot or a similar CRM and take pride in keeping your pipeline clean, organized, and fully up to date - it's how you stay in control.
• Outbound Sales Experience: You have already been successful with creating your own pipeline and winning customers through creative outbound efforts - and you are confident in reaching out, following up, and creating momentum.
• Curious & Market-Savvy: You are excited about how businesses grow, passionate about SaaS and remote work trends, and genuinely enthusiastic about the Swiss market and/or the startup ecosystem.
