I don't think sales job fits in remote-jobs
Biotz employees are pretty active here and have posted Clojure jobs here, as well as interesting Clojure articles. It probably should go in #jobs-non-clojure but I'll cut a Clojure-based company a bit of slack about non-dev jobs, from time to time. As long as it doesn't become a regular thing. /cc @asier.galdos
Fair enough.
Just deleted it.
To me it seems Clojure related enough.
Personally, I would have liked to hear more about why someone with a background in Clojure development would be a good fit for a sales role. I'm quite interested in the business side of Clojure. @asier.galdos, perhaps you could DM me about it? To be clear, I'm not looking for a job, but working on business cases for Clojure is definitely important for my job.
We are a tech-driven company and we have not had any marketing or sales people in-house so far, we always relied on word to mouth and partnerships, but right now we need to grow more and expand geographically so we are creating a marketing and sales team. I have interviewed many sales people and, to be honest with you, I think they don’t fully understand our industry and, on top of that, being a Clojure based company, our mindset is different I believe. Ideally someone that gets it, is passionate about it and can make contacts would be the best for us. Sales is under-appreciated in my opinion, sales is about understanding the problem and helping clients to solve it, and we (Clojurians) have a unique way of solving problems. Firstly, we give a shit about what we do, and secondly, we do it elegantly with sharp tools. In short. We don’t sell Clojure libs nor do body shopping, our company philosophy is deeply aligned with the technology and its way of doing things. Our business developer should reflect that.
@asier.galdos That's great context. Thanks for sharing that! It sounds like technical sales in a consultative style. I too have found it hard to find folks with high tech skill and high sales skill. If you find that great candidate, I would be curious to meet them.
