You will research target companies, start conversations with decision-makers, follow up consistently, and turn business challenges into qualified pipeline.

This is more than a meeting-setting role. Your performance will directly influence your earning potential through base pay and aggressive incentives, while helping create long-term value for an employee-owned organization.

• Schedule qualified discovery meetings for agency leadership, senior strategists, or account executives.
• Provide clear, accurate handoff notes that summarize the prospect’s business, pain points, stated goals, key stakeholders, current marketing situation, objections, and agreed next steps.
• Maintain accurate CRM records, including account details, contacts, activity history, outreach sequences, opportunity stage, notes, next steps, and lead‑source data.
• Collaborate with leadership to develop prospecting strategy, ideal-client profiles, account lists, outreach campaigns, call scripts, email templates, and follow‑up workflows.
• Test and improve outreach approaches using activity, response, meeting, conversion, and pipeline data.
• Monitor common objections, questions, market trends, and competitor positioning, then share insights with agency leadership.
• Support sales‑cycle activities as needed, including meeting preparation, follow‑up communications, proposal coordination, and prospect research.
• Represent the agency professionally in virtual meetings, local events, industry groups, and business‑development activities when appropriate.

How You’ll Be Measured
