• Grow strategic accounts: Identify opportunities to expand existing relationships, increase product adoption, and generate additional revenue.
• Expand market opportunities: Help grow the travel management company (TMC) and travel agency segment, including opportunities related to Reshop and Emburse’s analytics solutions.
• Build a strong pipeline: Manage the full sales cycle, from prospecting and qualification through negotiation and closing.
• Deliver predictable results: Consistently achieve or exceed sales targets through disciplined pipeline management, accurate forecasting, and proactive account planning.
• Maintain CRM excellence: Use Salesforce to maintain accurate opportunity data, track activity, and deliver timely weekly and quarterly reporting.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with internal stakeholders to strengthen partner relationships, progress opportunities, and support the company's growth strategy.
