職務の目的


アクイジション・コンサルタントは、アカウントチームと連携し、新規ターゲットアカウント(Net New Target Accounts)におけるエンタープライズレベルのビジネス変革エンゲージメントを創出し、推進します。

このポジションは、売上目標(Quota)を持つ営業職ではなく、戦略的な機会創出(Origination)および価値創造を担う役割です。

ミッションは、CxOレベルが主導する数百万ドル規模の変革機会を創出・影響を与えることです。これには、財務的に裏付けられた、成果ベースの価値提案とビジネスケースを開発し、経営層やシニアマネジメントレベルの顧客との接点を開くことが含まれます。この役割は、財務、戦略、およびエグゼクティブ・エンゲージメントの交差点に位置し、顧客が最新のデータおよびインフラストラクチャソリューションを認識し、投資する方法を再定義します。

平均的なセールスサイクルは18ヶ月であるため、MEDDIC/MEDDPICCやチャレンジャーなどの適格性評価手法を用いて、関連性の高いアカウントを特定し、関連性の低いアカウントを除外することが求められます。

成功した候補者は、地域における当社のグローバル・バリューマネジメント機会創出プログラムの形成と運用において重要な役割を果たします。

顧客との協働

  • 議論のきっかけを開くことを目的として、初期の顧客との会話でアカウントチームを支援します。その目的は、構造化されたアセスメントへの顧客のコミットメントを獲得し、非依頼型提案書の作成につなげることです。

メソドロジーとフレームワークの開発
