CustomShow was built on the idea that the sales presentation is special. Unlike a website, printed brochures, TV commercials or billboards, the sales presentation is where the rubber meets the road in business. When giving a presentation, the sales person meets the client, engages, persuades, and hopefully closes the deal.

CustomShow is an Enterprise Presentation Software-as-a-Service that changes the way companies build, manage and deliver presentations. Currently used by Fortune 500 media, finance and luxury companies, CustomShow is the only end-to-end presentation solution for business teams.

CustomShow is looking for a bright Inside Sales Representative to work as an important member of the sales team by researching target companies, identifying leads, qualifying them, and scheduling meetings between decision-makers and our Account Executives.
