• Customer Success: Build and maintain strong relationships with potential and current customers, understanding their pain points, challenges, and goals to give them the best experience possible.
• CRM Management: Document all interactions, leads, and activities accurately in our customer relationship management (CRM) system.
• Collaboration: Collaborate closely with sales, marketing and engineering to align efforts and ensure a seamless customer journey.
• Continuous Improvement: Continuously refine and enhance outbound prospecting techniques and communication strategies to optimize results.

Qualifications:

• 1-2 years of experience in sales and/or customer success (CS).
