• Prepare comprehensive advisor briefings that summarize prospect background, objectives, life events, financial complexity, key discussion points, and expectations to ensure a smooth, personalized advisor experience.
• Re-engage dormant or previously unworked leads through thoughtful, personalized outreach designed to convert latent digital interest into active conversations and scheduled meetings.
• Partner closely with Marketing leadership to provide feedback on lead quality, messaging resonance, content effectiveness, campaign performance, and qualification criteria.
• Maintain accurate prospect activity in CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot), including notes, outreach history, outcomes, and lead status, while tracking conversion metrics and pipeline influence.
