• Prospect consistently through phone, email, LinkedIn, networking, conferences, associations, and referrals
• Establish relationships with senior decision-makers including Presidents, CFOs, COOs, AVPs, VPs, Directors of Facilities, Campus Operations leaders, Risk Management, Housing, and other key stakeholders
• Generate qualified meetings and opportunities for R2R
• Conduct discovery conversations that uncover the organization's current response model, challenges, costs, risks, and decision-making process
• Develop opportunities from the initial conversation through a qualified sales opportunity and handoff/close strategy
• Help prospects understand the business implications of the first few hours following a water event
• Position R2R as an operational strategy rather than simply an equipment purchase
• Understand the customer's current restoration, facilities, insurance, risk-management, and procurement processes
• Build a compelling business case around reduced downtime, reduced property loss, operational continuity, and greater internal response capability
• Navigate complex buying groups and identify the individuals who influence, approve, fund, and ultimately purchase the program
• Develop effective prospecting strategies, messaging, call approaches, discovery questions, and account-development processes
• Identify what is working-and what is not-and continuously improve the process
• Share market intelligence, competitive information, customer feedback, and lessons learned with Sales Leadership and the R2R team
• Help create scalable processes that can ultimately be adopted by additional Account Managers and Business Development resources
