Pleasant Solutions Careers

Positions Available:

• Multiple full time and part time business development positions available.
• Primarily intermediate and senior level positions with some junior level.
• Positions available in both our headquarters as well as our several satellite sales offices.
• Work from home, but a lot of time spent around the city meeting people.
• Custom tailored positions will occasionally be considered for candidates that are seeking primarily to focus on leveraging an exceptional rolodex rather than a typical sales position.
• We are also hiring for other positions this year (sales engineers, industry vertical specialists, etc). If you know someone in any of these areas, please do them a quick and friendly favour by letting them know about this posting.

Position Overview:

• Vast majority of your time is in mingling with people, getting to know various internals about their businesses, and once a need is mentioned then offering them to get a free quote that solves it.
• Typically meeting people involves person to person networking, and a minority amount of time on other hunting methods.
• You will not have to do follow-ups. We have other staff for that.
• You will not have to be in closing meetings. We have other staff for that. You are measured by your ability to get people talking about their business and spotting the need and being willing to tell the business analyst enough for us to quote a solution.
• Dream job for the right person.
• Our focus is on strong product-need fit, not on pressure selling the wrong solutions.
• Meeting underserved markets, across several target industries.
• For some of our product lines, patents ensuring direct competition can't exist.
• Amazing marketing support to support your business development efforts, and an authorized budget to use them to support your entry into your preferred industries.
• One of the example products we sell: a tool that can convert a spreadsheet into a multi-user web application. We sell it as full service and sometimes do it yourself. We can also sell full fledged custom software development services if it comes up.
• Flexible hours (for example: choose to start your day between 6am and 10am, work late some days and shorter on others). Requires flexibility back to match event schedules.
• Variety and flexibility to mutually agree on target industries and target customer sizes.
• Opportunity to be rewarded for introducing company-wide sales initiatives (for example: lunch-n-learns, golf tournaments, and whatever your experience shows is something we should start).
• Supported by other departments that are involved in the presales cycle including business analysts, infrastructure analysts, and occasionally the project managers.
• Being a trusted contact to communities of prospects, spotting opportunities within the client's stories for win-wins.

Requirements:

• Passionate about mingling, and exceptionally good at getting people talking about their business.
• Hungry for results.
• Familiar with business-to-business sales.

Nice To Have:

• Experience in selling software services or products.
• Experience in selling IT services or products.
• Experience in any particular vertical where needs are a good match for our lines of business.
• Existing rolodex of contacts that you can leverage and be rewarded for.

About The Work Environment:

• Friendly, non-threatening, and non-political environment.
• Mid-sized company but retaining the speed and flexibility of a smaller company.
• We are a great environment for both outgoing people and those who are very shy and introverted (applicable to non-client facing positions).
• We strive to have every employee sitting near a window for natural light and to have plenty of plants throughout the office; we care about employee health.
• Additional perks that are cost-shared like motorized sit-stand desks.
• Task focused: everyone in the company heavily uses centralized to-do lists to stay organized, prioritize, and coordinate.
• Fast paced
• Headquarters: Free onsite massage therapy.
• Headquarters: Private nap rooms for isolated thinking time or for taking a nap if you didn’t sleep well last night.
• Headquarters: Social events worth remembering (fencing competitions, curling, video game or board game parties, coding competitions, commando combat training, robotics club coming soon, etc).
• Headquarters: Unlimited access to pillage our kitchens for caffeine, sugar, healthy snacks, soups, and more :)
