About The Position

We are seeking a top-performing, technical sales professional who understands the unique approach to selling our company's public safety software solutions to prospective customers, while developing and maintaining excellent customer/client relationships. This sales professional will be responsible for selling Motorola's industry-leading computer aided dispatch, records management, jail management, evidence management, analytics, and situational awareness solutions to new customers. This is a hunter role, assigned to capture new business in the industry's large-tier agencies. This role will be assigned to work with the largest cities and counties within the territory to proactively influence well in advance of any formal project. Customer relationships are developed by phone contact, personal visits, tradeshow attendance, onsite discovery, software demonstrations, oral presentations, and through attending regional user group meetings. Sales responsibilities are assigned by region or major geographical area and territories are sized by total customers operating as a "host" agency. Selling opportunities include on-site product presentations, internet demonstrations, and coordinating with state and local officials on individual and multi-jurisdictional projects. A thorough understanding of local government procurement processes are helpful. Typical travel is moderate to high with being in territory (in front of the customer) 50-65%. Top sales performers are compensated aggressively with accelerators upon achieving annual sales quota. This role has the ability to sit remote, but will travel 50-60% of the time or more if required.
