• Collaborate closely with Account Executives, Marketing, and Product teams to align on target accounts, share market insights, and ensure a seamless handoff of qualified leads.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all prospecting activities and customer interactions in our CRM (Salesforce), ensuring a healthy pipeline of qualified opportunities.
