Travel is limited and typically focused on major international industry events (e.g., NAB and IBC).
Primary Responsibilities
- Own and maintain the sales pipeline: lead intake, qualification, follow-up, forecasting, and CRM discipline (Zoho).
- Respond to inbound customer and partner requests (email/phone/video), gather requirements, and coordinate next steps.
- Prepare quotes, bids, and RFP responses using established pricing frameworks and templates; track open quotes to close.
- Coordinate order flow from PO through shipping; communicate status and timelines to customers and internal stakeholders.
- Run customer account care: post-sale follow-up, service contracts, and systematic re-engagement of existing customers.
- Own the operational side of customer service requests: issue and track RMAs, communicate throughout the repair cycle, and ensure closure.
- Execute outbound sales campaigns defined by leadership (e.g., targeted verticals/regions/products); convert engagement into meetings and opportunities.
- Partner with the Technical Applications Specialist for technical pre-sales, training, and escalations—pull in technical depth when needed, not by default.
- Chair a monthly Commercial Sync meeting and maintain cadence between meetings: action tracking, internal alignment, and accountability.
- 5+ years in inside sales, sales operations, or account management in a technical B2B environment.
- Demonstrated ability to run a pipeline with discipline: qualification, follow-up systems, forecasting, and reporting.
- Comfort with CRM tools; Zoho experience is a strong asset.
- Strong written communication (clear, concise customer updates; accurate quoting and documentation).
- High accountability: you track what you promise, close loops, and measure outputs.
- Comfort coordinating cross-functional work (engineering/technical support/marketing) without needing formal authority over everyone involved.
- Experience selling into broadcast, live production, sports technology, or adjacent professional AV markets.
- Experience managing a junior coordinator or contractor (work allocation, feedback, throughput).
- Trade show experience (planning, meeting-setting, and follow-up conversion).
- Familiarity with channel partners and distribution models (direct, dealers, integrators, rental houses).
- Metric-driven and process-minded (you naturally build cadence and keep it).
- Calm under pressure; you communicate clearly and do not drop threads.
- Comfort working with strong, fast-moving leadership while maintaining execution discipline.
- Quality-first: you care about the customer experience from first contact through successful product use.
- Base salary plus performance-based bonus. Compensation will be set based on experience and demonstrated execution capability.
