Follow up on leads generated through marketing campaigns, webinars, events, and digital programs
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

Strong communication and interpersonal skills
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
