JOB DESCRIPTION:
As a Customer Development Executive at Skillcentrix, you will be a part of the Customer Development Team, which falls within the broader Go-To-Market (GTM) Team. The GTM Team includes both Customer Development and Marketing Teams. In your position, you will be responsible for sales development and sales support. Your mission is two-fold: 1) to identify, progress, and close select revenue-generating opportunities with prospects and customers; and 2) to support other Customer Development Team members in driving and ultimately closing more large-scale, strategic sales cycle pursuits.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Sales Development (50%)
1. MEETINGS & ACTIVITIES: Drive attendance and engagement with prospects, customers, and Workday constituents by pursuing, setting, conducting, and hosting meetings and
other business development activities [e.g., Workday Rising and Sales Kickoff (SKO), Region User Groups, webinars, campaign activities, industry events]
2. OUTBOUND PROSPECTING: Proactively source, identify, and begin qualifying opportunities with prospects and customers through outbound activities
3. INBOUND PROSPECTING: In collaboration with Marketing Team, actively monitor inbound prospect/customer engagement (e.g., website subscription/contact notification, webinar registration, LinkedIn activity), investigate customer/contact, appropriately track, respond and/or route to other Customer Development Team members as needed
4. RE-ENGAGEMENT PROSPECTING: Develop and deploy re-engagement strategies for stalled or longer-term opportunities on an ongoing and consistent basis
5. CLOSING DEALS: Drive select opportunities, as determined with Customer Development leaders (e.g., deals that are within Medium Enterprise, have short sales cycles, are tactical in nature, or some renewal-based) to closure; and route more strategic, large-scale opportunities to the appropriate Customer Development Team member(s) to further qualify and drive to closure
Support (50%)
1. PIPELINE HYGEINE: Work closely with Customer Development Team (including sales operations) to ensure accurate and timely pipeline and other sales data/performance metrics are properly captured and maintained in both internal (e.g., CRM/HubSpot) and external (e.g., Workday Partner Center) systems
2. RELATIONSHIP HEAT MAP: Work with Customer Development Team to determine and track relationship owners across key Workday contacts, and to create and maintain a relationship heat map. Support Customer Development Team in driving efficient and effective territory management
3. COMMUNICATION: Represent Skillcentrix with exceptional written and oral communication and professionalism, as often you will be the first point of contact with prospects
4. DEAL SUPPORT: Assist in coordination and completion of proposal, procurement, RFI/RFP, and deal closure activities (e.g., presentations, deal review preparation, vendor system setup, risk assessment questionnaires, contracts, sales-to-service transitions)
5. MEETING ADMINISTRATION: Assist with scheduling, preparing, notetaking, and follow-ups for internal, prospect/customer, and Workday meetings (including Insights Workshops)
6. WAYS OF WORKING: Identify patterns and trends across internal and external communications and activities; liaison observations and make suggestions to GTM Team to drive streamlined, efficient processes and enhance collaboration
