You are self-motivated and can thrive in a fast-paced sales environment.
You are driven to not only achieve your target, but to blow past it. Over achievement is very much rewarded at Salesforce.
You are resilient and have a high EQ. We have a diverse team with multiple stakeholders. Having an attuned, balanced & clear mindset is essential.

You are able to craft a point of view, hold an opinion, and build credibility as a 'Trusted Adviser' with your customers.
You are self aware and you understand your ‘why’. You’re naturally curious and passionate about the chance to absorb all Salesforce has to offer.
Previous Sales Methodology training, CRM experience, and strong customer references preferred.
