• Maintain strong daily outbound activity and engage customers to drive results against sales targets, supporting both daily supply needs and larger annual capital equipment expenditures, supported by timely and accurate CRM documentation.
• Leverage AI-enabled insights, predictive buying data, and digital tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, AI-generated leads) to research accounts, prioritize opportunities, and increase selling efficiency. Fully adopt workflows and tools to reduce reactive work and expand proactive selling capacity.
