Keeping Pace with the Competitive Software Sales Market
The software industry has exploded. And it’s not stopping. Companies are constantly bombarded with the next best technology, creating a lot of confusion about the differences between on-premise, SaaS, and subscription software services. What are the differences? What are the capital investment requirements? The integration issues? How will it impact operations? These questions only scratch the surface of the many you likely deal with on a regular basis.
To out-pace the competition, your software company needs exceptional sales professionals to communicate the value of your offering to prospective customers, close new business, and drive revenue growth. Sales professionals who succeed in selling on-premise software must possess a depth and breadth of industry and technical knowledge about the various software models, understand legacy system integration, security, and customization while having the patience and perseverance to build relationships over a long sales cycle.
Our Boston sales recruiters at DANA identify the top sales talent with highly sought-after qualities such as:
- Discipline, focus, and perseverance
- Superior relationship building
- Robust technical knowledge
- Deep software experience
- Consistent closer of complex deals
