- Understand the complete value proposition of Grace Hill’s integrations and assist in developing ROI statements tied to integration efficiency and risk reduction
- Maintain extensive knowledge of integration architecture, data flows, and authentication methods across the Multi-Family product suite
- Define integration scope during discovery — mapping prospect user journeys and identifying use cases to determine feasibility and complexity before a deal advances
- Translate prospect and customer integration feedback into clear technical requirements for Product and Engineering
- Collaborate with sales teams to understand customer integration requirements (SFTP feeds, API needs, SSO, conferencing tools) and provide technical sales support
- Educate internal sales teams on Property Management Software (PMS) integrations — Yardi, Entrata, RealPage, and similar platforms — as well as marketing integrations including but not limited to websites and ILS’s, and how they connect into the Grace Hill suite
- Provide good competitive integration intelligence to marketing to aid in the maintenance of product battlecards
- Relay knowledge of integrations in a way that is understandable to prospects and MF Sales Staff
- Assist with preparing integration-related sections of proposals and all related customer documents (sales enablement) as needed
- Provide direct support to the sales team as needed by collaborating to understand customers’ integration requirements and providing sales support
- Assist in strategic direction on GH MF integration training for internal teams specific to ramping up sales staff and overcoming knowledge gaps
- Train other members of the sales team on the technical aspects of Grace Hill’s integrations (APIs, SFTP, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, PMS, and marketing integrations such as websites and ILS’s)
- Establish personal rapport with potential and actual customers and technical stakeholders (IT, systems administrators) in a position to understand integration requirements
- Provide product, service, or integration technical and engineering information by answering questions and requests of sales and customers/prospects
- Assist with customer demos by explaining or demonstrating integration features/functionality and the pain it solves
