Aaron Coury - Manager of International Business Development
How did you get into sales?
I was attracted by the dynamic nature of the profession, its importance to a
corporation, and the opportunity to get ahead. As an undergraduate, I completed pre-sales internships at market research and collaboration software companies which helped round out my view of what to expect and added to my appreciation for working on the agency side. I really enjoyed the opportunity to learn about a wide range of functions, companies and industries.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
Solving problems for my clients, the company and my team is important to me and surrounding this comes all the great things about this firm. We have the good fortune of developing products and services that are both intellectually stimulating and in high demand. Our culture is open, collaborative and multicultural and we approach our work thoughtfully with a sustainable work life balance. Also, on a personal level, it has been very satisfying to bring good people into the organization and see them excel and advance.
What is a typical day like in sales?
No two days are alike. They are anchored in helping team members advance and close new business and up-sell opportunities and include a range of planning and development activities such as improving products and vertical industry performance, producing and delivering training programs, and bolstering team pipelines and forecasts.
