• Provide feedback from prospects and customers to support product enhancements and sales strategy.
• Participate in regular sales meetings, pipeline reviews, and performance reporting.
• Demonstrate personal accountability, responsiveness, and consistent follow-through in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment.
