Hi there!

The Zapier Sales and Success Team serves customers as they evaluate and buy Zapier’s upmarket offers, through being a dedicated sales point-of-contact. We help customers by delivering compelling demos over Zoom, inspiring deep automation use cases pertaining to their role, and addressing any questions through their procurement and buying process. Ultimately, success here looks like teams and organizations buying and scaling their automation usage through one of Zapier’s upmarket products, with you as the sales touchpoint.

About You

• You have 3+ years of experience as a quota-carrying, full-cycle sales-person (software experience is preferred, especially across product-led companies with both self-serve and sales GTM).

• A track record of high achievement in current and previous roles hitting or exceeding quota

• You’re experimental and have the ability to test new sales motions rapidly.

• You’re comfortable getting into the technicalities of our product, API offerings and curious about building solutions with these tools.

• You proactively self-manage with a high degree of agency to manage your pipeline and hit quotas.

• You’re an effective communicator and can present to an executive audience with ease.

Things You’ll Do

As an Inside Sales Representative, you will have 3 main responsibilities:

1. Showcase Zapier as a potential solution for teams and businesses

   You’ll develop new potential accounts by educating them about how Zapier can help mid-market and enterprise companies build organizational wide-automation programs. You’ll lead demos in partnership with your solution engineers that model a wide range of use cases in which Zapier can help drive ROI for our customers. You’ll educate the user on use cases to help inspire more ways they can automate within their business. You’ll do this over a series of 30 to 60-minute video conferences where you’ll lead them from interest, to learning more about our product to purchase. Success here is measured by our ability to turn leads into customers.

2. Run sales motions that drive adoption of Zapier across our upmarket plans:

   You’ll leverage product and customer data (product insights, role-specific use cases and existing adoption patterns) to identify, connect with, and convert customers to our upmarket plans. To do so, you’ll partner with the broader sales leadership to experiment, design, and execute sales plays.

3. Maintain feedback loops back into the rest of the organization

   Identifying learnings from your customer demos and passing them along as a feedback loop is critical in this role. This looks like tagging your call recordings with product feedback opportunities or identifying areas where improved collateral may have accelerated the sales process. To do so, you’ll need to be excellent at written communication.

You’ll work closely with numerous senior stakeholders and will be a part of several cross-functional steering committees as well.

In fact, throughout the process, we strive to never go more than seven days without letting you know the status of your application. We know we’ll make mistakes from time to time, so if you ever have questions about where you stand or about the process, just ask your recruiter!
