Job Description:

  • Manage Forrester’s premier end-user business. Forrester serves both users of technology and vendors of technology. This position focuses on the top user clients.
  • Drive multiyear commitments and retention with our existing clients.
  • Drive growth through account expansion by prospecting and cross-selling and upselling with our clients.
  • Grow revenues at double-digit rates on an annual basis: continue the growth of contract value; drive growth in Forrester’s consulting business; tightly manage the renewals process to maintain a renewal rate of more than 90% and an increasing share of wallet; and grow existing account revenues and increase the average deal size.
  • Lead, mentor, and upskill the sales team, providing guidance, support, and coaching to drive individual and team success.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement within the sales organization.
  • Recruit, onboard, and retain top talent to strengthen the sales team and ensure alignment with company objectives.
  • Lead the execution of our sales strategy; cascade our selling strategy, design, and plan to the team and associated territory plans.
  • Develop strong relationships with research, marketing, data, and consulting to partner on critical strategic matters and business issues to drive sales pipeline growth and revenue bookings.
  • Energize, inspire, motivate, and maintain a strong, positive culture that brings together Forrester’s premier end-user business to optimize performance.
  • Ensure team compliance with standard sales processes regarding pipeline hygiene, win/loss recording, and value capture.

Job Requirements:

  • Fifteen plus years of experience in consultative and solution selling in the technology and information services industries in the US.
  • Experience in selling both recurring revenue business and custom solutions to enterprise end-user customers.
  • Experience in selling both technology and business solutions (not products).
  • A track record of cross-selling and upselling in existing premier accounts combined with new business development.
  • Experience in leading a sales force transformation from selling products to selling solutions.
  • Experience with recruitment and development of solutions and consultative sales personnel as well as team building.
  • Successfully led revenue growth through individual contributions to sales strategy and sales execution (e.g., from $60 million to $115 million).
  • High IQ and EQ to lead consultative solution selling to the CXO level.
  • Strong, referenceable client base in enterprise organizations at the CXO level.
  • The ability to develop and manage detailed budgets, forecasts, and team performance, setting and meeting or exceeding quarterly and annual revenue targets.
  • Charisma, with the ability to build relationships and trust at all levels, both with clients and within Forrester.
  • A demonstrated track record as an inspiring team leader — someone who develops a strong following of sales team members who take accountability for both their results and how they attain them.
  • The ability to drive internal discussion about strategies, ideas, new opportunities, and the best methods for achieving success in a changing marketplace.
