What will you be doing?
The go-to-market (GTM) team is Axial’s sales and customer success organization, focused on winning new business and growing our existing relationships across the “sell-side” (investment banks, M&A advisors, business brokers, and business owners) and “buy-side” (private equity, family offices, corporate development, independent private equity sponsors & search funds).
Each member of the GTM team owns a patch of prospective (sales/business development) and / or existing (customer success/account management) accounts. Your #1 objective is to grow your patches' active healthy member count.
The path to individual outperformance in this role is unlocked by mastering the Axial product, mastering the talk tracks that let you effectively communicate the value of the platform in conversations with members, and consistently executing our account outreach, connected call, and follow-up motions.
