At Expel, we believe if we take care of our employees, they will look after our customers, and the rest will work itself out. It’s as simple as that. We have built a great place to work based on transparency, where people love what they do, and work gets appreciated. A place where our partners rave about their Expel counterparts. Where they speak of trust, openness, respect and integrity. We want our partners to enjoy promoting our product and feel good about how they get treated during every interaction with us.

That’s where you come in. Do you think of partners as "your" customers? You bet! You are a Partner Sales Guru! You care about their problems, cure their ills, and when you change jobs they’ll meet with you. Maybe they have a fit for your thing, maybe they don’t, but there's an implicit trust and you'll get 30 minutes to see if there’s a "there, there". Because of that relationship, your partners introduce you to new people. Relationships like this form over years, and it happens because that’s the only way you’ll do business.

Asking questions and being a trusted resource is core to your business. You’re a calm voice in the night on a rocky trail, working with partners to stay away from the steep drops. Partners walk with you because they know you only represent products they can stand behind, aspirin for the headache their customers actually have. We know that no matter how good a product is, someone has to guide the process – and you excel at this.

Information security is a tangled, congested market with confusing, overlapping messages and frequently unclear value propositions. “Market-leading, best-of-breed, next-gen Threat-tron 9000 with a live pew-pew map finds the badness, OMG be afraid!” That's all fear-mongering nonsense, and that is not how you do business.
