  • Our product is complex and our customers are technical security team members. The ability to quickly understand product and subject area questions, suggest technical solutions, participate in open ended discussions, and assess a plan of action all helps build the trust of our customers.

• Proactive Account Management: Have the ability to proactively manage your accounts. You know what a great Success Plan looks like and can utilize your Plans to drive successful outcomes. You’re proactive by nature and have the skills to drive both the ground-level tasks while also managing towards long-term strategy and growth.

• Clear Communication: Our customers trust us because we speak to them as peers, communicating plainly, clearly, succinctly, honestly, and at appropriate times. We do not use “word salads”, and we clearly communicate verbally and in writing, particularly in asynchronous channels.
