As a Senior Networking Technology Sales Specialist at NTT DATA, you will use your expertise to pursue and secure qualified leads, working closely with our Client Management team and other departments. As a Sales Specialist, you are also responsible for generating your own pipeline and opportunities within your assigned client base. You'll identify new opportunities within existing accounts and present tailored solutions that meet client needs, showcasing our value propositions and innovative revenue models.
In this role, you will spend a significant amount of time directly engaging with clients at various levels within their organizations, as well as collaborating with our internal subject matter experts.

By keeping an eye on the competitive landscape, you will help define and execute sales strategies that not only meet but exceed market demands.
Working with technology vendors, you'll ensure a thorough understanding of their solutions and how they contribute to our offerings.

- Proven success in achieving and exceeding sales and financial goals
