What You'll Do:

• Run outbound across every channel. Prospect over email, phone, and LinkedIn to book qualified meetings for AEs.

• Execute and personalize sequences. Run sequences and tailor them, hitting daily activity and pipeline targets.

• Research your accounts. Dig into target accounts to tailor messaging to the buyer and their pain points.

• Keep the handoff clean. Log activity accurately in CRM and hand off well-qualified opportunities to sales.
