- Reconnect with lapsed customers and build those relationships
- Research and approach prospective customers to generate new business
- Qualify inbound and outbound leads and identify the best next step
- Arrange qualified appointments for the field sales team
- Prepare and follow up quotations
- Use customer and sales data to spot commercial opportunities
- Keep CRM records and pipeline activity up to date
- Work closely with Field Sales, Product Specialists, Marketing and Customer Service

- Organised and comfortable managing multiple customers and opportunities
- Positive, coachable and keen to learn
