Track Record: Proven ability to meet or exceed quarterly sales quotas through structured outbound outreach and consultative deal closing. Language & Skills Bonuses (Highly Preferred) Cantonese Advantage (Bonus): Native or full professional fluency in Cantonese is a strong advantage for localized Hong Kong institutional coverage, government/regulatory networks, and local Web3 builders.
