Sales Development Rep - SaaS

CustomShow was built on the idea that the sales presentation is special. Unlike a website, printed brochures, TV commercials or billboards, the sales presentation is where the rubber meets the road in business. When giving a presentation, the sales person meets the client, engages, persuades, and hopefully closes the deal.

CustomShow is an Enterprise Presentation Software-as-a-Service that changes the way companies build, manage and deliver presentations. Currently used by Fortune 500 media, finance and luxury companies, CustomShow is the only end-to-end presentation solution for business teams.

CustomShow is looking for a bright Inside Sales Representative to work as an important member of the sales team by researching target companies, identifying leads, qualifying them, and scheduling meetings between decision-makers and our Account Executives. Your main responsibility will be to open relationships with multiple people within our target clients, typically C-Level, VP and Director-level contacts in Marketing or Sales at well-known companies. This position is email- and phone-intensive and requires applicants to be outgoing, energetic and detail-oriented. There will be opportunities to be involved in the entire sales cycle, to learn about the SaaS marketplace and grow within the sales organization.

Candidates will need to manage and prioritize workflow in a fast-paced environment. Flexibility is important, as is the ability to meet performance metrics. Personally, applicants should have high energy, a positive attitude, and the ability to work well with a variety of people. Initiative is critical; a sense of humor is very helpful. Candidates must be comfortable working in an environment that emphasizes customer service, professionalism, ongoing learning, accountability, and quality-of-work life. 

Compensation will consist of base salary plus commission. This position will report to the Director of Sales and has a potential career path into outside sales and/or sales management. This position will be based in New York City, NY.
