• Represent local practices at community events, health fairs, networking opportunities, sponsorships, and other market-facing activities.
• Partner closely with doctors, treatment coordinators, practice leadership, and other internal stakeholders to help convert referral activity into scheduled consultations.
• Track outreach activity, referral trends, relationship development, and referral-source performance.
• Utilize market and referral data to identify opportunities for additional growth and prioritize territory activity.
• Provide regular updates on territory performance, market activity, opportunities, and challenges to practice and regional leadership.
• Partner with marketing and practice leadership to execute local initiatives designed to strengthen brand awareness and community presence.
• Maintain a consistent field presence and effectively manage travel, appointments, events, and territory priorities.

• Demonstrated ability to develop new relationships and grow an assigned market or territory.
• Strong prospecting, networking, presentation, and relationship‑management skills.
• Comfortable initiating conversations and developing relationships with professional referral partners and community organizations.
• Highly self‑motivated with the ability to work independently and manage a field‑based territory.
• Strong organizational and time‑management skills with the ability to prioritize multiple relationships, activities, and initiatives.
• Ability to track activity and use performance data to adjust territory strategy.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Coachable, collaborative, and comfortable working within an established sales and business development process.
