• Maintain accurate prospect and activity records within Salesforce

• Work closely with Marketing and Sales teams to ensure a seamless lead management process

• Develop a foundational understanding of Genesys solutions and customer use cases

• Meet and exceed KPIs related to lead response times, meetings booked, and opportunity creation

Skills & Qualifications

• 0–2 years of professional experience in sales, customer service, business development, retail, hospitality, or a customer-facing role

• Positive attitude with a willingness to learn and develop within a sales environment

• Strong organizational and time-management skills

• Comfortable engaging with customers over phone, email, and virtual meetings

• Ability to work collaboratively within a team environment

• Professionalism, resilience, and a positive attitude

• Someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Why Join Genesys?
