Mission Objectives (Essential Functions)

- Maintain accurate prospect activity, notes, dispositions, meeting information, and next steps within HubSpot.
- Follow up appropriately with prospects when additional outreach is required to secure or confirm a meeting.
- Participate in call reviews, coaching sessions, roleplays, team meetings, and ongoing sales development training.
