Want to know what it's like to sell with the MongoDB Sales Team?
So at MongoDB, we're looking for sales athletes.
And what that means is we're looking for somebody
that has committed themselves to the sales profession.
They've shown success in their career,
and they're looking for that next great challenge.
It doesn't matter which department you reside in.
The collaboration and the teamwork and the camaraderie
is palpable.
Everybody here is trying to help each other
and work towards a common goal in that there's
opportunity for growth in leadership
and growing spaces within the company.
A big part of what we believe at MongoDB
is we are all in this to get better together.
And so it's my job to develop my sales leaders
so that they can be better for their sales team.
What's so intriguing about MongoDB is a few things.
The first is the market.
The total addressable market is somewhere
in the ballpark of $36 to $40 billion.
It's the biggest in software.
So the market is huge and ripe for disruption.
Successful sales reps at MongoDB have one thing in common.
We work really hard.
If you bring that work ethic and you apply yourself
to what we're doing and the value that it brings
to our customers, there's no doubt
you're gonna be successful.
We are here to work hard, but to have fun
while we're doing it, and to really make a difference
with our customers.
So the really cool thing about MongoDB
is that it's really not hard to understand
the value proposition.
MongoDB really facilitates great business outcomes
for our customers.
I think what sets MongoDB apart is how much
they invest in their people.
And I could tell that they invested a lot in me
and in my coworkers from day one.
We spend just over six times the industry average
on sales reps in their first year,
just in development here at MongoDB.
I'm here because I believe that MongoDB
is the place to be from our company vision
to our leadership to having the industry-leading technology
that's gonna enable us to help our customers
meet their strategic initiatives
and accomplish their mission.
I'm proud of the company that I work for
and for the values that we have and that we actually live.
