Client Development Manager
Are you a recent college graduate who is smart, articulate, and have not been indoctrinated with robotic, boring sales habits? Then read on!
VerticalXchange is looking for a fresh sales team member, someone who hasn’t been working the sales grind for a long time. Don’t worry if you don’t come with a long list of sales experience. We’d prefer an intelligent, earnest blank slate who comes ready to work and to learn.
We call this job “client development manager” because at VerticalXchange, sales are never one-time deals: every member of our team is a consultative salesperson whose job is to help our clients identify and solve problems and to build long-term partnership.
Partnership is the key word here. You won’t be making a quick sale and then passing your client on to an account manager. You’ll also be doing a lot more than explaining product features and benefits. The VerticalXchange value proposition is conceptual, and you’ll be talking to the senior management at leading companies in a variety of markets.
Does that sound like a fun challenge to you? We’d like to talk.
