• Lead structured discovery conversations to understand prospective client needs, decision criteria and internal stakeholder dynamics to present offerings that position Klim as a strategic solution provider for clients’ sustainability, ESG and climate strategies.
• Guide prospects through pricing discussions, risk considerations and contract negotiations and closing with confidence and clarity.
• Collaborate closely with finance, certification, product, marketing and customer success teams to ensure seamless handovers and strong client outcomes.
• Track and monitor key sales metrics through diligent CRM maintenance, track market trends in an independent way and gather client feedback proactively to optimise individual and team sales performance.
