  • Executive Presence: Strong consultative discovery, presentation, negotiation, and closing skills with C-suite executives, property managers, and business owners.

  • RMR & Financial Acumen: Understanding of contract margins, pricing strategy, and the economic value of Monthly Recurring Revenue (RMR).

  • Technical Curiosity: While direct commercial security experience is not required, we do require the curiosity and drive to "geek out" on modern smart-building tech and cloud analytics.

  • CRM Discipline: Proficient experience utilizing Salesforce or enterprise CRM tools for disciplined pipeline management.
