About the role
This is the first step of a structured path from Customer Success into sales. You start by owning customer success work and learning the product deeply, then move into handling inbound sales, and — on demonstrated performance — into an Account Executive role over roughly 12 to 18 months.
We are direct about this on purpose. The role is built for someone who wants a sales career and is willing to earn it by mastering the product and the customer first. Progression is based on results, not time served.
What you’ll do first (Customer Success)
-
Onboard new customers and get them running on the OptiSigns platform.
-
Become an expert in the product: the software, supported displays and devices, and common deployment setups.
-
Answer product and technical questions, troubleshoot issues, and resolve or route them cleanly.
-
Drive adoption and retention across your accounts.
-
Handle inbound questions from prospects and existing customers.
-
Capture customer and product feedback for the product and sales teams.
The path
-
Phase 1 — Customer Success. Build product mastery and a track record of handling customers well.
-
Phase 2 — Inbound sales. Take inbound interest and convert it, with coaching, against a clear bar.
-
Phase 3 — Account Executive. Own a full sales cycle.
Movement between phases depends on meeting a defined performance bar, not on tenure. Strong performers move faster.
