- Proven track record of success in upselling or expanding revenue within an existing customer base
- Strong ability to connect with, influence, and close decision makers via phone and video
- A consultative selling approach — you listen first, then solve
- Excellent verbal communication and virtual presentation skills; comfortable leading Zoom-based product demos and conversations
