• Partner with the Key Account Manager team to provide inside support, ensuring smooth communication and execution while outside sales are on the road.
• Maintain CRM data integrity — including opportunity values, close dates, and probability percentages.
• Drive opportunities to closure by coordinating with agents, customers, and internal teams to secure purchase orders.
• Prepare and manage documentation for handoff to the Project Management team once orders are received.
• Collaborate with quotations, operations, and project management to ensure that all information required for order entry and execution is accurate and complete.
• Communicate order status updates and manage customer expectations through the close of sale.
• Track and report progress on key sales metrics, including pipeline activity and conversion rates.

• Strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Proficiency in CRM systems (Salesforce preferred) and Microsoft Office Suite.
