Tacto
Your Impact
A structured fast-track 6-month program with hands-on coaching where you'll learn the full sales cycle – from prospecting to closing – and drive real revenue with customers, kickstarting your career in tech sales.
You'll engage directly with C-level executives at DACH industrial companies, helping them solve their most pressing challenge: making supply chains more efficient and resilient. With structured coaching, weekly deal reviews, and hands-on practice at every stage of the customer journey, you'll rapidly develop expertise in discovery, qualification, negotiation, and closing.
As you prove yourself through clear milestones, you'll earn your promotion to full-cycle Account Executive after six months.
