- Use telephone, email, and LinkedIn to build and develop a strong pipeline.
- Research target businesses and identify the right senior decision-makers to approach.
- Build rapport quickly, create interest, and convert conversations into qualified meetings.
- Take ownership of follow-up, ensuring opportunities continue to move forward.
- Work towards and exceed weekly and monthly activity and meeting targets.
- Maintain an accurate and well-managed pipeline through the CRM.
- Work closely with Business Development and Marketing to refine targeting and messaging.
