- Open doors at target accounts through networking, referrals, events and introductions.
- Research and engage new prospects through personalized outbound outreach and follow-up.
- Lead discovery conversations, qualify opportunities and involve specialists at the right time.
- Partner with marketing on campaigns, events, thought leadership and account-based initiatives.
- Maintain accurate CRM records, forecasts and reports, using AI-enabled tools to support research and prospecting.
