Organize complex information and build a compelling Value Narrative / Transformation Story tailored to the customer's specific context and priorities.
Articulate how multiple Salesforce products, solutions, and use cases connect to the customer's business and management outcomes.
Use ROI, payback period, TCO, Cost of Inaction, and other measures to establish the economic rationale needed to assess the validity of an investment in Salesforce and support decision-making.
Design and lead presentations, Executive Workshops, Business Case Reviews, and other engagements for CxOs and senior executives, and develop business cases based on customer responses and the outcomes of discussions.
Anticipate risks arising from the customer's decision-making process, competitive environment, Deal Cycle, stakeholders, and other factors, and develop response strategies with the Account Team.

Equal Opportunity

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment.
What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all.
And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination.
Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal.
Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law.
This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey.
It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between.
Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit.
The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
