Responsibilities

Generate enterprise leads through consistent outbound (calls, emails, LinkedIn) and in-person relationship building.
Work the local ecosystem: build connections with tenants, property teams, owners/developers, A&D, GCs, brokers and local business/community partners.
Leverage industry networks: actively participate in organizations and events (e.g., BOMA/NAIOP/CoreNet/local chambers) to create referral flow.
Book and run first meetings with a tight discovery approach (need, buyer, urgency, budget band, timeline).
Route and hand off opportunities within 24–48 hours to the correct closer/operator (events/catering/gifting/interiors).
Maintain clean CRM hygiene: log outreach, meeting outcomes, qualification notes, and handoff ownership so the engine scales.
Build repeatable plays: document what’s working by segment (tenants vs. owners vs. orgs), and refine outreach lists and messaging.
