Work the floor, set meetings, and ensure Zenoti is a recognizable and respected name in every room you enter. Pipeline Generation Convert relationships and event attendees into qualified opportunities. Hand off warm, well-documented leads to the Account Executive team with full context and deal-readiness notes. You’re measured on pipeline created, not deals closed. Partner & Channel Development Identify and cultivate strategic partnerships with fitness equipment brands, POS providers, gym design firms, and fitness consultants who can refer Zenoti to their clients.
