New Business Sales Lead
New Business Sales Lead
I work on the Sales Team at Perspicuity as an New Business Sales Lead. We help customers with support, consultancy and development days.
Previously I worked as a Business Development Manager for a recycling firm. Here I used to do lots of B2B cold calling which has given me lots of confidence and the ability to talk to new people. My job was to find new leads and convert them into sales which I now do at Perspicuity, albeit without finding the leads, as this is where our Partner relationships come in.
Everyday is different, which I love! One day I could be talking to a new lead about some basic training sessions in O365 and other days I could be speaking to a long term customer about the phase 2 of their project. My role, aside from meetings, also includes putting contracts together, building relationships with Partners and Clients, managing renewals and making sure our customers are getting the most from their investment.
In short, meeting new people and always learning about the world of Microsoft. I'm definitely not a technical person, I'm more than happy sticking with sales, but it's surprising how much you pick up just listening to the consultants communicate with the customers.
Technology is definitely a different world to work in; the possibilities are endless and its constantly evolving. Being a millennial and growing up with technology at school, you'd think I'd have a good idea, but wow isn't there lots more to it. Our developers and consultants have a wealth of knowledge that I enjoy listening and learning from each and everyday. Another learning is working with a partner network, rather than directly with clients. Working with partners is a great way to do business but it took some getting used to in the beginning.
From marketing to consultancy, sales to development, Perspicuity welcomes in a vast skillset! If you think you'd be a great fit at Perspicuity, get in touch with us!
