1. What opportunities did you personally source?
2. Who was the buyer?
3. What problem were they trying to solve?
4. What was the commercial value of the deal?
5. How did you move the customer from first conversation to signature?
6. Why did you win?
7. Why did you lose the deals you didn't close?
What We're Not Looking For

Candidates whose experience is primarily focused on:
- Renewals Farming existing accounts Pure inbound sales Lead qualification SDR / BDR activity without closing ownership
