At Expel, we believe if we take care of our employees, they will take care of our customers, and the rest will work itself out. It’s as simple as that. We have built a great place to work where the culture is truly transparent, people love what they do, and work gets appreciated.
Now we’re scaling a sales culture that is also transparent and customer-focused. A place where our customers rave about their sales team. Where they speak of trust, openness, respect, and integrity. We want our customers to not only love our product but feel good about how they are treated during every interaction with us.
That’s where you come in. The relationships you have with current and previous customers matter! Your customers frequently introduce you to new people because of the way you work to help them solve real problems. This didn't happen overnight; it's something you've crafted for years and that experience shows.
You ask questions to understand problems and you enjoy being a true partner to solve them. You’re thoughtful and calm. Your customers walk with you because they know you only sell products you believe in, products you stand behind, and products only for a problem you actually have. We know that no matter how good a product is, someone has to guide the sales process – and you excel at this.
You haven’t sold just any enterprise product, you’ve sold information security products. It’s a market with sometimes confusing, overlapping messages and frequently unclear value propositions. Fear-selling nonsense is not how you do business; you show value.
If this resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you. You're our kind of seller.
We are looking for this individual to be located in the Midwest, U.S. (MI, WI, MN preferred)

- We offer you people and a company who want to deliver an outstanding solution, and to reach the right customers we need to be excellent at sales
- We'll give you experience in a startup environment with a team who truly cares about doing meaningful work

What you can do for Expel

- Tell us what you learn as you explore the market. Help us understand where Expel fits, what we are missing, how can we be better, and ultimately, get to “yes” before “no”
