• Establish and execute end-of-trial pathways, including continuation of paid subscription, transition to local sales offices for service discussions, repair support through digital triage, or structured follow-up for future engagement.
• Partner with local and regional sales offices to provide sales opportunities, including summary context, customer interests, and recommended next steps to support service growth.
• Create processes to close out customers not ready to move forward while maintaining opportunity tracking for re-engagement at a later date.
• Maximize revenue output from the customer trial funnel through subscription continuance, service agreement attachment, and repair/service tether opportunities.
• Collaborate with product, digital, service, and commercial teams to gather early customer feedback and translate insights into continuous improvement and investment opportunities.
• Lower the barrier of entry to customer acquisition for service sales teams by creating a simple, repeatable, and effective engagement model.
• Work with key stakeholders across the business to ensure alignment with customer coverage strategies, field initiatives, support models, and broader service modernization efforts.
• Evaluate organizational, process, and change management barriers associated with launching this new model and recommend practical solutions that make the approach easy to understand and adopt including in environments where change may be met with resistance.
• Support business cases, staffing strategies, and growth plans for scaling capabilities over time.
• Lead through influence, negotiation, and strong cross-functional communication to build alignment at all levels of the organization.
• Operate effectively in a remote environment, using strong virtual collaboration and time management skills, while supporting travel for in-person meetings, events, and training as needed.
