Responsibilities * Research target accounts and identify the right decision-makers to contact. * Build ideal customer profile (ICP) fit lists using realistic firmographic data. * Write personalized cold emails that earn replies, not just opens. * Craft LinkedIn outreach sequences — connection requests, messages, and follow-ups. * Make realistic cold-call simulations using discovery and qualification scripts. * Run discovery conversations using frameworks like BANT, MEDDIC, or SPICED. * Handle common objections with calm, consultative reframing. * Score and prioritize leads so effort goes where it converts. * Book qualified meetings and hand off clean notes to account executives. * Build and manage multichannel cadences (email, phone, social) in a realistic CRM workflow. * Track activity metrics: connects, replies, meetings booked, and conversion rates. * A/B test subject lines, hooks, and calls-to-action on realistic outreach. * Clean and enrich prospect data to keep the pipeline accurate. * Collaborate with other interns on team-based pipeline sprints.
