Okay, let me be frank. Why? Did someone lie to you and tell you to catch whales? Or have you been doing this a while and this is a real question?

My AE lost a deal with them at the start of this year because we host on AWS. Will say if your company is using AWS, don't even waste your time. They will not align with you if your company is hosting on AWS. It's an automatic no from them.ย 

For some context: We sell a recruitment platform that adds to your typical ATS (EX: Workday or iCIMS) as an enhancement to attract candidates. So we were selling directly into HR.ย
