Lakshmi Iyer — Business Development Executive
My journey in enterprise sales has completed more than 20 years and I had the opportunity to work for fast paced start-ups as well as well established global enterprise organization and Indian IT and ICT brands. In last two decade I have learned that- -Being customer focused and working as a team never fails to deliver positive outcomes despite ups and downs of the sales cycle. -Whether it is working on big ticket deals with global giants undertaking large transformation projects or medium size companies trying to expand their market, focusing your proposal on customer’s key milestones sets you apart. -Managing relationships at all levels and delivering value to each stakeholder is really important to maintain a fruitful & long term relationship. -Engaging internal teams at every step and sharing information transparently is equally important to deliver as a team successfully. This is even more important when you have a team spread across the globe. -It’s always a delight to engage with a new logo, deal with the competition, overcome objections, earn customer’s trust and become a part of their success. -Channel partners are very important to open new doors for you. So are the alliance partners as they involve you in opportunities which otherwise are not possible to address individually. -Leading from the front makes you much more confident and earn respect from your colleagues.
