Support prospects in understanding the core of their pricing and margin challenges through a consultative, non-pitch approach
Collaborate with internal experts to develop and present complex value propositions supported by evidence and strategic logic

Draft sharp, value-based commercial proposals and summary documents in Google Docs or MS Word
Lead targeted discovery conversations using a structured playbook — with the goal of identifying gaps between current and ideal pricing maturity
Demonstrate strong qualification skills to avoid 'happy ears' or FOMO-chasing; focus time and resources on real opportunities
Listen with intent and nuance — uncovering not just surface needs, but the customer’s organizational motivations, pressures, and success criteria
Maintain a reliable sales forecast through strong qualification, pipeline clarity, and deal reviews
Think analytically about deal risk — identify blockers, stakeholders, competitive pressure, and internal buying dynamics
Continuously refine opportunity narratives and mutual action plans based on gaps or emerging objections
