- Hit monthly quotas of sourced qualified opportunities and closed business, and report on progress weekly
- Identify high-potential businesses, verticals and markets, and develop and execute outbound strategies to get them as Alloy customers
- Develop and lead campaigns from idea-generation through to qualified calls and determine how best to scale them
