Today our team of designers and developers is 18 strong and we are looking towards significant growth in 2015.
What We Need
As a young and growing services firm, we are looking for a smart, optimistic, and organized individual to help us with “top of funnel” sales activities such as:
- Identifying prospect companies within our target market
- Pinpointing needs and opportunities
- Working through pre-qualifying steps for leads
- Developing initial relationships
- Handing off warm leads to account executives
- Attending networking events and conference
Qualifications
In general, we’re looking for someone with the following qualifications:
- College degree from an accredited institution
- 1-2 years of experience in a sales or administrative capacity (prior sales experience not absolutely required)
- Ability to manage multiple tasks at once
- Ability to follow a defined process but also help optimize for effectiveness
- Highly collaborative, communicative, and professional personality
- Some knowledge of the software development industry is preferable
- Willingness to stretch and grow new areas of knowledge
The stand-out individual will NOT be identifiable as a “sales person”, we don’t want any used car feeling here ;) The ideal candidate will be someone who likes to network and connect people, and is genuinely interested in helping others with their challenges regardless of closing a sale.
What We Offer
DevMynd has a great culture and work environment. We offer a great benefits package including health care, retirement plans, profit sharing, generous paid-time-off, and much more. Compensation for this sales position may also include some amount of commission as well as a base salary.
