- Maintain accurate and up-to-date activity, pipeline, and customer records in CRM.
- Apply coaching and feedback from managers and peers to continuously improve sales approach and performance.
What you bring to the table

- Adaptability and willingness to learn quickly as customer needs, business priorities, or sales approaches change.
- A customer-first approach focused on creating a positive, helpful, and professional experience in every interaction.
