Participate in discovery calls alongside Account Executives and senior SDRs, progressing to leading qualification calls independently once approved.
Use Salesforce, Lemlist, Clay, and AI tools to research accounts efficiently and maintain accurate pipeline data.
Track and report weekly on your activity metrics, response rates, conversion to qualified meetings, and changes you make based on performance data.
Provide feedback to the Marketing team on the quality and relevance of inbound leads.

Ability to handle rejection professionally and follow up persistently without requiring encouragement.
Strong habit of tracking results and making adjustments based on data and performance metrics.
Ability to prioritize effectively and distinguish between leads that warrant your time and those that do not.
