• Maintain a healthy pipeline and accurately track activity and opportunities within Salesforce.
• Consistently follow up with prospects and move deals through the funnel.
• Partner with Sales Leadership on deal strategy and performance improvement.
• Provide customer feedback and market insights to Product and Marketing teams.
• Become an expert in Franki's platform and value proposition for the hospitality industry.
