Meet Liz Olshanski, Sales Development Representative in NYC
Most SaaS sales roles keep you glued to your desk. Field Sales at Ideals doesn’t. For the past year, Liz has been part of the founding team establishing Ideals’ New York City field presence. This means her office is wherever prospects are: coffee shops in Midtown, lunch spots near Wall Street, happy hours in the Financial District.
In her conversation with Welcome to the Jungle, Liz breaks down what Field Sales at Ideals actually involves, and why the deals that almost slip away can become your biggest wins.
Watch the video with Liz to discover:
- The three things she loves about sales at Ideals
- What a typical day looks like for an SDR
- Her biggest learning moment
- The three criteria she recommends evaluating before joining any sales team (spoiler: Ideals checks all the boxes)
If you’re energized by in-person connection and excellent product, Liz’s path might resonate.
We’re expanding our Field Sales team from NYC and Chicago into Washington D.C., Boston, and additional cities through 2026.
