Canoe Intelligence

“There are three key qualities that drive success for the individuals on our team: Independent & Resourceful, Organized, and Self-Motivated. Being in a sales role in a small organization requires me to wear many different hats. Where one might have multiple roles supporting a sale in a large company, much of the responsibility falls solely on the salesperson at Canoe. It is critical to be self-reliant and able to work independently, while still knowing when to bring in other internal experts. In a single day, I might be researching potential leads, preparing for a proof of concept demonstration, and working through the final stages of a contract on a deal. Without proper preparation and prioritization, it would be nearly impossible to maintain focus and get through everything on my To-Do List. Organization is also critical to support a growing client list and sales pipeline. Finally, many adjectives (driven; ambitious; persistent) that describe a good salesperson boil down to being self-motivated. It is important to wake up each day with a willingness to seize every opportunity and remain persistent through any challenges without someone else pushing you to be great. ”

“The energy and people at Canoe are absolutely fantastic. Starting with leadership and resonating throughout the rest of the firm, everyone is excited about our goals and focused on solving some really challenging problems. The people are sharp, kind, and always willing to help out. My experience with Jason Eiswerth, our CEO, is a great example of this. He is incredibly accessible and always eager to gather feedback or brainstorm new ideas. Anecdotally, I’ve had more one-on-one conversations with him in 2 months than I have with any other chief executive over 8 years.”
