About the Company
Founded in 2015, Map My Customers is on a mission to help field sales teams drive significantly more revenue. Field sales teams are long past due for change and are deeply tied to the supply chain across dozens of industries like manufacturing, automotive, packaging and supplies — yet are underserved with the technology, tools, and enablement platforms for jobs on the road. Our platform is already trusted by thousands of mid-market and enterprise outside sales reps across the globe to increase revenue through our best-in-class sales enablement capabilities. Our team is fully remote and global, with much of our go-to-market team scattered across the Americas. Product and Engineering [your team] is even more global, with teammates across three different continents. In practice, our team is direct but always kind — and taking action takes you far.
About our Platform:
At Map My Customers, we understand that better sales decisions stem from actionable data. Imagine a suite of tools designed specifically to help sales reps use their time more effectively by generating leads on the go, identifying the best opportunities, and suggesting key customer activities to perform. Our customers bundle better data within our reporting and analytics suite to drive decisions that immediately increase sales and retention. The key for our business? Making that tool mobile-friendly and easy-to-use. Design at Map My Customers is a critical shop - with our customers consistently ranking “ease-of-use” as the thing they love most about our tool. Field sales as a function is hundreds of years old; by making design a top priority of the company’s we are differentiating our product against the flood of tools in sales that see single digit adoption and retention rates.
