Company mission
To help technology companies build their business and make their customers more successful.
Role
Who you are
- Over-performance - an exceptional track record over at least 12 months in B2B sales (SDR, BDR, or talent acquisition)
- A desire to take on a bigger challenge, and a 'no excuses' mindset
- People who are strong in business development can easily move forward in many directions
- We are looking for someone who can be in our London office and work directly with our existing BDR and AE teams
- Curiosity: Always learning, and learning quickly - whether it's about new prospects, our product, technology, client success, or the sales process. Be open to, and thrive on feedback
- Perceptive and focused: Alert to what people say. A knack for asking the right questions, and listening intently. Extraordinary communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills
- Results driven: Set clear goals and achieve them. Self-motivated to succeed, and succeed in the right way. Create relationships, and deals that last
- Fluent in Dutch
What the job involves
- You are someone who will identify, approach, and nurture Planhat’s prospective customers, setting them up for long-term success
- Primarily working an outbound motion, you will create a personalised and seamless process, from initial awareness through to discovery call with our Account Executives
- The BDR team are comfortable blending long-term thinking and short-term pragmatism
- Identifying prospects: and conducting outreach through calls, emails, and LinkedIn
- Building strong relationships: with Customer Success leaders across Europe
- Qualifying, then prioritising: the needs and aspirations of executives across different industries, seniority levels, and company sizes
- Laying the groundwork: for customer discovery calls for Account Executives with prospects (SMB and Enterprise) across the Benelux region
- You will have responsibility from the get-go, and an accelerated career path awaits
- Successful Business Development Representatives naturally grow into the Account Executive role
- There is significant opportunity for leading teams, expansions into new markets, and spearheading important projects
- Success in this mission depends on strong cultural alignment, a fast ramp-up, and ongoing collaboration
Application process
- Applications are considered on a rolling basis
Our take
According to Planhat, even though acquiring customers is essential for the initial growth of a company, long-term sustainable growth comes from maximising the lifetime value of existing customers. The Sweden-based but globally remote startup provides a modern customer platform that helps clients analyse insights regarding their target audience, manage workflow and drive customer experience.
Planhat distinguishes itself from other customer success software like Salesforce and Totango through its rapid deployment and easy adoption. The platform provides a range of solutions, from customisable customer health scores to management reporting and CSM team performance. It's been taken up by thousands of teams globally and its corporate customers include the likes of Consensys, Alation and Adenza.
Initially a bootstrapped company, Planhat had already built a significant business by the time it closed its first investment round in 2022. This funding is being used to support the company's growth by scaling its commercial teams, accelerating its R&D and further developing the product.
