AWS Sales Development Representative

at  SoftwareONE

Job Function: Sales The role:
The SoftwareOne AWS Sales Development Representative is part of the Business Development Executives (BDE) team. The BDE team functions as solutioning experts against customer problems/business needs.
The BDE team also has a role of a hunter, focusing on new business with both new and existing customers. They enthusiastically seek out, develop and land brand new opportunities for defined portfolio elements, close new logos, and then entrust them with an Account Manager who will continue to manage that relationship so they (the BDE) can conquer the next new opportunity. For existing customers, the Sales cycle is started by the Account Management. Although new customers must be hunted by the BDE, BDE’s always work in a team with the AM.
