- Craft personalized emails, LinkedIn messages, and call narratives that connect TrendAI™ value to customer priorities.

- Conduct structured discovery to understand customer challenges, strategic initiatives, security priorities, decision drivers, and success criteria.
- Qualify opportunities based on business pain, urgency, fit, stakeholder relevance, and next-step clarity.
- Go beyond surface-level interest by helping uncover why a conversation matters and what business outcome the customer is trying to achieve.
- Deliver introductory conversations or presentations that clearly position TrendAI™ and its relevance to the customer.
- Collaborate closely with Account Managers and Sales Engineers to align account strategy, messaging angles, meeting objectives, and follow-up actions.
- Maintain high-quality CRM documentation, including account insights, stakeholder details, discovery notes, objections, competitor mentions, and next steps.
- Share field intelligence with Marketing to improve campaigns, messaging, content, and persona targeting.
- Contribute customer and competitor insights that help Sales, Marketing, Product, and leadership better understand market reality.
- Bring curiosity, discipline, resilience, and the desire to become better every week.
