What Success Looks Like

In your first several months, you’ll focus on understanding LeadVision’s existing partner ecosystem, building strong relationships with current partners, and developing a pipeline of new opportunities.

Success ultimately means growing LeadVision’s partner network, lead supply, and revenue while maintaining strong quality and profitability.

The Person We’re Looking For

You’re a relationship builder who can walk into a conference and comfortably start a conversation, but you don’t rely solely on an existing network to create opportunities. You’re equally comfortable picking up the phone, prospecting into a new company, and building a relationship from scratch.

You understand the lead-generation ecosystem, follow through consistently, and know that the strongest partnerships are built over time.

Most importantly, you don’t simply manage partnerships. You grow them.
