Product Sales Specialist
Data Center Management Products
Novell, Inc.

Novell is looking for a Product Sales Specialist to sell our data center management products and solutions (virtualization, storage, systems management, SUSE Linux) in a defined territory. You will work closely with our channel partners (primarily regional and national systems integrators) in a “sell-with” model and develop the appropriate solution approach for each of the enterprises targeted.

Within your territory, you will be able to sell to all large and very-large commercial accounts (excluding current strategic accounts) in generating $2 million in net new revenue annually. You will sell the entire line of data center products; other reps will be selling other products. You will work closely with your partners in jointly developing leads, sales strategies and tactics and in closing deals. You and your partners will match Novell’s Solutions to the client’s business issues, while working closely with your assigned Technology Sales Specialist.

You will be home-office based and travel approximately 50%, primarily within your territory.
