- A track record of building pipeline and hitting quota through self-sourced outreach
- Comfort with cold calling, cold emailing, and social selling as part of a multi-channel approach
- Experience working in Salesforce or a similar CRM
- Familiarity with sales tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Outreach, ZoomInfo, Google Workspace, and AI tools like Claude or Gemini
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to handle objections and hold a business conversation
