DIGITAL MARKETING

Travel is often a key part of the role, especially when dealing with large institutions or clients that may be spread out geographically. You might need to visit different cities or countries to meet clients, build relationships, or attend conferences and events. Traveling allows you to:

• Develop relationships in-person : Face-to-face meetings often have a stronger impact than virtual ones. Visiting clients helps build trust and rapport.
• Understand client needs more deeply : By seeing the client's operations or meeting them in their environment, you can gain insights that will help you offer tailored solutions.
• Broaden market knowledge : Traveling to various regions helps you understand market trends, competitors, and specific institutional needs in different areas, providing you with a competitive edge.

Clear, concise, and persuasive communication is crucial. As an Institutional Sales Manager, you will:

• Deliver presentations : Whether it's a product demo, a proposal, or a partnership pitch, you need to present information clearly and confidently.
• Negotiate deals : Effective negotiation is about communicating value and addressing client concerns while ensuring mutual benefit.
• Listen actively : Listening to clients' needs and challenges is as important as talking. By actively listening, you can tailor your pitch or proposal to match exactly what they are looking for.
• Provide updates and reports : You must regularly communicate progress and results to internal teams and clients, ensuring everyone is aligned.

Sales in an institutional context often involves collaborating with a diverse group of people, both inside and outside the organization. This includes:

• Internal Teams : You'll work closely with marketing, product development, finance, and customer service teams to ensure the product or service fits the institutional client's needs. This requires clear communication and collaboration.
• Senior Management : Reporting to or working with senior leadership on large deals requires the ability to present business cases effectively, manage expectations, and coordinate strategies.
• Client Stakeholders : Within a client institution, you may work with multiple people, from junior staff to top-level executives. You need to understand their roles, influence dynamics, and how to cater to each individual's specific needs and decision-making processes.
