First things first: What is this role about?

We’re underdogs who believe in the power of actions more than anything. Our sales pros are conversation starters, network builders, and noisemakers. Being a part of our sales team requires a great set of skills, such as relationship building, consulting, strategic thinking, and creating a robust sales pipeline. So we asked our team of sales pros to tell us what their day-to-day is really like and, in a nutshell, this is what they told us.
