- Note on Sales approach & use of AI : Our product is already AI native. As well, we use many AI enabled sales tools to inform our strategy and outreach. However, all candidates must be comfortable with and balanced in their use of AI. We know developing strong person to person relationships with prospects & partners will always be required in our industry. "Bedroom/home office sellers only" need not apply. We also do not use SDRs, as we find this strategy inefficient and ineffective with the niche & cautious buyers in our space. All Sellers are expected to perform their own highly informed outreach; and will be supported to perform smart face to face travel customers and relevant conferences.
