Team Player: share the insights you learn along the way with your teammates and play an active part in meetings. Desired Experience: Track record of working to targets or selling something; be that in your spare time or as a full-time role. Preferably a SaaS or insight product. A self-starter attitude with an appetite for innovation; willing to experiment with new methodologies and tactics to constantly improve your metrics. Understanding of how to build and maintain working relationships. Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the aim of articulating why Tussell will benefit your prospect. Empathy toward the challenges, trends, and personas of those who sell into the public sector.
