Dental Sales Executive - Portland, United States - The Cigna Group
Description
Aligned with a team of CIGNA Healthcare Sales Professionals, the DSE is positioned as the market leader for the dental product.
Overall responsibilities are broadly defined in the categories of market strategy, new business development, client retention, training/coaching and product expertise.
The incumbent is expected to ensure the successful attainment of all assigned membership and profitability goals in the assigned territory.
Key factors for success include a strong sales orientation, a powerful inclination to influence the actions and results of others, superior personal credibility and demonstrated expertise in the delivery of CIGNA's dental products.
