The Role

• Our sales team is the face of the company and the engine of our market expansion. You are directly responsible for driving net-new revenue and assisting with growing existing business.
• In its simplest form, your role is to bring new assets (Multi-family and Student accommodation) onto the Lavanda platform by effectively selling the Lavanda value proposition (flexible renting for assets to optimise their revenue potential on the Lavanda PMS).
• You will identify new markets for growth and map out key industry accounts for direct outreach with the support of a team of Business Development Representatives
• You will support the wider team to identify and engage new business opportunities as well as partner with our key accounts with growth potential to create business plans to achieve optimal results.

• Day-to-day activities include communicating directly with clients, participating in product meetings, tracking key performance metrics, leading brainstorming sessions, and developing strategic roadmaps. Additionally, you will be responsible for generating client-facing proposals including cash flow projections and implementation project plans.
• You will be able to identify potential objections early in the sales cycle and will be able to provide realistic solutions to close the deal. This can include proposing solutions that do not currently exist or improving on ones that already do.
• You will get the opportunity to meet clients face-to-face, travel to some incredible European destinations and help us to build our brand at networking events, tradeshows and leading industry conferences.

Benefits
