- Create individual product demonstrations that exemplify how the Gorilla solution can best meet each prospect’s requirements.
- Support the Product Management activities by providing customer-specific requirements to continuously evolve the Gorilla solution in the market.
- Communicate the business requirements to the project/implementation team after the completion of each sale to ensure a smooth transition from pre-sales to implementation stages; warranting a continuous degree of customer satisfaction.
- Build strong customer relationships by consistently setting realistic expectations early in each sales campaign and meeting or exceeding those expectations.
- Communicate and collaborate on opportunity plans and sales strategies with other members of the virtual account team, as well as Gorilla field and corporate management.
