Meeting with your Professional Services peer mentor and gathering learnings to implement into your role
Fully understanding our Services offerings, from delivery to project management to reporting
Shadowing Strategic Services Consultants on calls to learn relevant customer stories and case studies from the field
Within 3 months, you’ll start hitting your stride by:

Developing a clear understanding of the entire Sprout platform, its features and use cases, and be able to explain them to customers
Getting to know and begin to build working relationships with stakeholders throughout our Sales, Customer Success, Product and Marketing teams
Leading services projects independently and clearly communicate results and deliverables to customers
Within 6 months, you’ll be making a clear impact through:
Your first performance conversation with your manager, where you’ll discuss your accomplishments in your role and work together to build goals for your professional growth
Becoming a Sprout Social product expert to confidently speak to ever-changing trends, new product features and platform enhancements to help our customers realize their full potential and accomplish their goals
Within 12 months, you’ll make this role your own by:
