## What they're looking for

- A sense of urgency and hustle you bring to work every day
- Experience selling software (can be in any industry)
- Comfort with technical products, or the capacity to get there fast. You don't need an engineering background, but you shouldn't be afraid to get into the weeds of a customer's process
- Real curiosity, in three directions: about the product, customers (their business, the map, what's happening in their world), and the industry (so you know where to target and why)
