  • Cold outbound calls and emails to prospective customers
  • Schedule initial discovery/qualifications calls with prospective customers
  • Communicate to arm Account Executives for success (i.e. insights and intelligence about prospective customers) in a timely fashion
  • Collaborate with Sales and Marketing teams to help inform Demand Generation
  • Assist Account Executives with pipeline management and prospect nurturing when appropriate/necessary
