• Meeting booking: Schedule qualified first meetings for the CEO with senior decision-makers; confirm, reschedule and follow up to ensure meetings take place.
• Targets: Achieve monthly targets for qualified meetings booked and held.

Sales Enablement & Proposals

• Meeting preparation: Prepare a pre-meeting brief for every client meeting covering company profile, attendees, objectives and relevant case studies.
• Presentations and proposals: Develop client-specific decks, proposals and quotations to a professional standard, tailored to each company's industry and needs.
• Follow-up: Send follow-up correspondence within 24 hours of every meeting and track proposals through to decision.
• Sales collateral: Maintain the corporate sales deck, case studies, client testimonials and proposal templates.
