- Develop tailored account plans that identify key buying stakeholders, decision processes, current investments, and expansion opportunities across the account
- Position Gong as a strategic platform — not just a product — by consulting on revenue strategy and helping customers understand the value of Revenue Intelligence at an organizational level
- Land new accounts and expand them, building a book of business that grows in value over time through a disciplined land and expand motion
- Partner with SDR, Sales Engineering, and Customer Success teams to build account-based strategies and deliver a seamless customer experience
- Engage senior executives on the evolving Revenue Intelligence industry, establishing Gong as the market leader in this space
