Technology Sales at IBM is evolving its way of working to break beyond boundaries with innovative approaches. Preferring to 'show' vs. 'tell' we're looking for recent graduates and/or individuals with early career sales experience who want to combine their technical interests and education with the people skills needed to prospect and co-create with customers, partners, and colleagues on solutions to our clients' most complex business challenges. In a world where technology moves at speed, it's essential that we stay ahead of the curve to provide tailored solutions that meet our clients' needs. It's not enough for us to have the technical expertise, we need to be great with people - to empathize, understand, and collaborate on technical solutions that will improve lives all over the world. A Brand Sales Specialist role within IBM means you're providing clients with the heartbeat of their digital enterprise. With solutions that are secure, reliable, scalable, sustainable, and can integrate with hybrid cloud and AI, you'll be co-creating with colleagues and clients to deliver the engine that sits at the centre of their digital transformation's success. IBM’s comprehensive onboarding and industry leading learning culture will set you up for positive impact and success, whilst ongoing development will continually advance your career. Our sales environment is collaborative and experiential. Part of a team, you'll be surrounded by bright minds - always willing to help and be helped- as you apply passion to work that will compel our clients to invest in IBM's products and services. As a Brand Sales Specialist you'll work closely with clients to develop relationships, understand their needs, earn their trust and show them how IBM's industry leading solutions will solve their problems whilst delivering value to their business. Your primary responsibilities will include, but not be limited to: * Sales Prospecting: Apply IBM’s sales methodology to identify new clients and opportunities for expansion with existing clients through multiple channels (email, phone, video creation, social media) - this includes a considerable amount of cold calling. * Education and Enablement: Beginning your journey at IBM, you will be in 6 weeks of Global Sales School training that is virtual. There is also 2+ weeks of in-person, dedicated, hands-on training which will allow you to learn side-by-side with your peers. Product knowledge and additional training will be offered to expand your sales expertise. * Building Credibility and Trust: Through consultative methods at all levels, both internally and externally, to facilitate the closure of highly complex deals. * Solution-Selling Expertise in Business Development: Apply solution-selling skills to identify and engage decision makers and influencers, assess business opportunities, and address clients' requirements to establish enduring, strategic partnerships. *
