Centric Software Pre-Sales Consultant Role

The main role of the consultant will be to support the Sales Process by demonstrating the retail planning and visual merchandising application's business value and gaining the technology buy-in from the prospective customer.

The consultant will need to perform all Pre-Sales activities required to sell Centric Solution to customers. The goal is to have the consultant self-sufficient as much as possible and ultimately become a Centric product expert.
This means a mix of both business and strong technical consulting skills to:

  • Understand the software product fully and the applicability to the industry
  • Install and configure the product to be self sufficient
  • Demonstrate the system in pre-sales situation, including personalizing it for the prospect with their data and processes

  • In addition to supporting customer deployments the consultant may be involved in some post-sales situation to help with project activities.
  • Centric is aggressively penetrating the retail planning market, so a sales attitude will be requested to professionally advertise Centrics confidence to provide value to their customers. The ability to deal with customers and handle customer situation alone as much as possible will be key.
  • Centric is a small company requiring from consultants a real sense of initiative and autonomy to deal with everyday situation. The candidate will have to be comfortable working alone with clear project success goals, without permanent supervision.
  • Significant travelling is expected to visit customer mostly within the region, although some international travel will be required. A valid Passport or Visa will be necessary.
