A day at Zivver

Since the COVID pandemic, there is no such thing as a “every” day at HQ. We fully support a work-from-home/everywhere situation (read as monitors, headphones, webcam, docks, and whatever else you might need). But when you are at our HQ….

Of Course every day is different but we can sketch a general overview of a day at Zivver. During your time at Zivver you will be the first contact person in the sales cycle and it's your job to find new prospects and help them in their search for a secure communication platform.

This involves some cold calling, building and maintaining your network in your vertical, giving presentations, writing emails and keeping a close eye on your current projects. You decide on your own agenda. We only ask from you to update your forecast in Salesforce and to keep a healthy pipeline;).

Selling a secure communication platform is not the easiest product to sell. Therefore it's important to understand the differences between us and our competitors and to be able to help prospects deliver the right information so they can make the balanced decision. For that we are looking for a salesperson who is extremely perseverance and has the patience to bring a deal further.

Good to know for you: we do this with a team and together we make sure we offer the right information at the right time to our prospects. On a typical day you will work with different departments like legal, product management, inside-sales and your direct colleagues.

We are growing hard and this also means we do have to work hard and sometimes long days but reassure you will enter a great team with a lot of fun and great benefits. When you finish the day you can grab a drink just before you head home in our own bar at the office :)

Zivver is a user-friendly solution for secure email and file transfer, straight from your familiar email programme. This enables you to prevent human errors, encrypt your data against hackers and keep control of the information sent.
