Who you are
- Proven Track Record in SaaS Sales: Intermediate-level enterprise SaaS sales experience. You've been measured on net new ARR in current or past roles and have a track record of meeting, if not exceeding those targets
- Driven to be the Best: you take pride in your work and desire to be the best in what you do. You are competitive and driven

- Connector: Strong ability to build rapport, read the room, and engage in active listening, fostering trust and mutual respect among team members and stakeholders
- Growth Mindset: you're authentic and self-aware. Humble and coachable. Take risks and learn from mistakes. You’re a "self-starter" who likes to take initiative and run with complex projects. In fact, it's your default setting

Our take
The integration of market data into the many functions of enterprise has been a consistent trend in SaaS markets for a number of years. Klue is taking a similar approach for teams looking to understand competitive landscapes.
The startup is uniquely attempting to create a new category of ‘competitive enablement software’. Whereas other software companies sought to fix a company’s business intelligence needs or content placement strategies, Klue brings all of these services together under the lens of competitive positioning.
Klue plans to find ways to reduce the burden of collecting intel and also automate insights. The company wants to introduce deeper integrations with enterprise tools like Slack, Salesforce, Gong, Highspot and Gainsights.
The biggest risk facing the company is that their product is currently more enterprise friendly, supported by customer specialists. For the software company to achieve true scale, they will want to democratise access to competitive enablement with a self-serve software available to small businesses.
