Opportunity progression
  • ADEs will be assigned opportunities to progress working as part of a 'win-team' with an Account Executive and Solution Consultant. Activities include re-engagement to understand any blockers, changes in the buying team or decision making process, change in organizational priorities, as well as nurturing additional relationships to move the opportunity forward.
