“My experience as an xDR set me up for success as an AE by helping me build the foundation, not only in Toast product knowledge, but also in understanding how to sell to restaurant owners. Not coming from a restaurant background, being able to talk to owners every day, understanding what they care about, how they communicate, even the best hours to reach them was vital. It gave me a holistic approach to the restaurant world, Toast as a product, and Toast as a company.”
