- You proactively contact decision-makers, explain our retraining model clearly, and bring conversations to a successful close.
- What you build remains: a strong partner pipeline by location, maintained in the CRM, that is directly used to approve new sites.
- Data maintenance & reporting: you keep your contacts and results up to date in the CRM, develop a robust partner pipeline by location, and provide regular feedback on what works and what doesn’t.

- Steep learning curve in B2B sales: you will learn B2B cold outreach and partner management from the ground up.
