Demand Generation: Create demand for Entrust's products and services by articulating compelling value propositions and entry-point value statements, and by identifying key buying influences within complex sales environments.
Pipeline & Revenue Growth: Develop and manage a full pipeline of qualified sales prospects by leveraging your network of channel partners to consistently achieve quarterly and annual sales revenue targets.
Internal Alignment: Deploy and execute account strategies by collaborating effectively with a wide range of internal stakeholders, including Territory Sales, Marketing, Sales Engineering, Inside Sales, Professional Services, Finance, and Operations.
