The Sales Enablement position has 2 goals and functions.
Supporting the sales team and sourcing new future client relationships.
Assisting: You must be able to understand our digital marketing services and maintain proper future client expectations on the scope and timeline of projects being done for prospects by the web, design and digital marketing departments to ensure operational efficiency. This includes personnel, systems, and tech to accomplish the mission.
In this role, you will work closely with all business development reps. Your goal is to help them onboard their new prospects and ensure they have an amazing future client experience!
Support: The business development department is very fast. Questions, meetings, events and a ton of planning and notes in between will have you very busy. As the main touchpoint for prospects after the sales process is completed, you must be able to educate new prospects on any questions that they might have.
Sales Person: In our business, education is also sales. Not only do prospects need to understand what we do, but they also need to learn the value of why we do what we do, and how we are making their businesses better overtime.
Host/Hostess: Most future client meetings occur at Tytanium Ideas HQ, which means you need to make our new friends feel welcome and appreciated when they arrive.
Being a detailed-oriented host to prospects in order to ensure the best experience ranges from designing the agenda for value-focused conversations, to coordinating with our corporate admin to ensure we have their favorite drinks and snacks on hand to offer them upon arrival. This is a perfect example of this position: nurturing relationships with prospects while delivering on their business goals.
Event Planner: In everything you do, you must always represent Tytanium Ideas in a positive light. We have many events to participate in, speak at, and attend. You will help with all aspects of our events, from planning them, facilitating them and helping to follow up on them.
