Your job is to identify the real opportunities, set the meetings immediately, and manage the full sales cycle through close for Expedient AI CTRL. A lead is just a start—your tenacity turns it into revenue. 3. The Field Force Multiplier (Internal Overlay) The Mission: Elevate our existing field sales team. The Action: You act as the specialist overlay for our Field Account Executives. When they uncover potential in an opportunity they are working, you parachute in to explain the product, align the Artificial Intelligence strategy to their specific business goals, and prove the ROI to the client. Additional Responsibilities: Develop a deep understanding of the AI CTRL services portfolio and effectively articulate its value proposition to prospective customers.
