Pipeline Tracking & Client Lead Coverage

• Track and cover client leads by ensuring they are logged correctly, assigned, and progressed through the funnel.
• Maintain accurate CRM data hygiene: contact updates, meeting notes, opportunity stages, and activity tracking.
• Monitor follow-ups and deadlines; proactively surface stale opportunities, open diligence items, and bottlenecks.
