• Provide Feedback to Marketing: Communicate any insights on the quality of leads, potential challenges, and opportunities to improve the lead generation process.
  

• Use Salesforce: Leverage Salesforce to track lead status, manage tasks, and ensure the smooth flow of prospects through the sales pipeline.
  

• Reporting & Performance Tracking: Regularly update senior leadership with performance metrics and sales pipeline status.
  

What You Bring:

• Sales Development Experience: Proven track record in sales development or a similar role, with a strong focus on lead qualification and fast handover from marketing to sales.
  

• Outbound & Inbound Expertise: Experience in handling high-volume outbound calls and emails, with a keen understanding of how to engage prospects quickly and effectively.
  

• CRM Proficiency: Strong experience with Salesforce (or similar CRM tools), ensuring that you can track and manage your leads and activities effectively.
  

• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage and build rapport with prospects quickly.
  

• Goal-Oriented: Motivated by targets and deadlines, with a proven ability to meet or exceed monthly and quarterly KPIs.
  

• Organised & Efficient: Strong organizational skills and attention to detail to manage multiple leads, ensure timely follow-up, and keep prospects moving through the sales funnel.
  

• Team Collaboration: Ability to work effectively with both marketing and sales teams to ensure that MQLs are handled promptly and moved through the funnel with efficiency.
