• Hand over the deals to the Account Management to ensure a seamless customer experience
• Qualify leads early and effectively by identifying pain points and matching personas to Bloomreach’s Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
• Demonstrate strong proficiency in sales methodologies such as Value-Based Selling, MEDDPICC, or Challenger Sales to navigate complex sales cycles and drive high-value deals.
• Ensure a robust sales pipeline by maintaining 3x the quarterly target through active prospecting and engaging effectively with C-level clients via various channels, including cold-calls, marketing lead follow-ups, RFPs, professional relationships, local marketing agency contacts, webinars, networking and face-to-face meetings.
• Collaborate closely with your CEA, channel partner, marketing, enablement, product and customer success teams, to revive old or stalled opportunities, qualify opportunities, and actively mature opportunities consistently
• Conduct thorough business needs analyses, prepare high-level client briefs, demos, and proposals presenting the unique value proposition of Bloomreach, and explain how it satisfies their needs.
• Clearly articulate how Bloomreach provides value over competitors and ensures shortlisting for purchasing decisions.
• Understand the Request for Proposal (RFP) process and influence it early on.
• Manage the CRM system to ensure accurate reporting and forecasting, maintaining high standards of data hygiene.

• Provide insights on market trends, competitive landscape, and customer feedback to improve our product and sales effectiveness.
