  • Deliver product overviews and walkthroughs tailored to specific use cases 

  • Clearly communicate pricing, timelines, and next steps 
  • Manage follow‑ups and momentum to drive deals to close 

​​​​​​​3. Set clients up for success after the sale by ensuring a clean transition 

  • Partner with Implementation and other client-facing teams to transfer context and expectations 

  • Ensure clients start implementation informed, aligned, and confident 

  • Flag risks or special considerations before handoff 

4. Help build and refine repeatable processes for high‑volume inbound selling 

  • Work within defined sales workflows while identifying opportunities for improvement 

  • Track activity and outcomes consistently in the CRM 

  • Identify common objections, questions, and friction points in the buyer journey 

  • Share feedback with Sales, Marketing, and Product to improve product, lead quality, and messaging 

What We Are Looking For:  

  • Strong interpersonal skills and comfortable owning client conversations end-to-end 

  • Early‑career sales professional or recent graduate, interested in SaaS sales 

  • Organized, detail‑oriented, and able to manage high volume of tasks  

  • Coachable, curious, humble, and eager to learn full‑cycle sales skills 

  • Strong communicator, both written and verbal 

  • Comfortable using CRM tools and learning new systems 

Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience  

  • 0–2 years of experience in sales, client success, support, or a client facing role 

  • Prior internship, customer service, campus involvement, or similar work experience  

  • Experience selling to or supporting small businesses 

  • Familiarity with SaaS, HR/payroll, fintech, or B2B software 
  • ​​​​​​​Willing to work in a hybrid model out of our Bloomington, MN office
