- Identify and develop new business opportunities while driving growth within existing accounts
- Execute strategic account plans to achieve and exceed sales targets
- Track all activity, notes, and lead status accurately in the CRM
- Meet or exceed monthly targets for outreach activity, meetings set, and pipeline contribution
- Collaborate with sales, marketing, and partner teams to improve lead quality and conversion
- Continuously learn our products, ideal customer profiles, and buyer personas
