  • Follow through on commitments, ensuring that solutions are delivered and customer needs are met, contributing to PagerDuty’s long‑term success.
  • Document key sales activities, including qualification details, next steps, and value propositions using sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDICC, COM Framework).
  • Planning & Prospecting
  • Develop a territory strategy that balances the acquisition of new logos with the growth of existing accounts, identifying high‑priority accounts and aligning resources to achieve sales targets.

  • Leverage historical data and market trends to build accurate sales forecasts and inform strategic decisions.
  • Utilize inbound and outbound prospecting strategies to develop new business opportunities and foster executive‑level relationships, including leveraging marketing, alliances, and BDR programs.
  • Basic Qualifications

  • 10+ years of field sales experience with a strong software / SaaS sales background.
