Qualifications :

 

What Were Looking For

  • Creative prospecting. Youve tried things beyond the standard sequence. Youre drawn to the plays that actually work not the ones that are easiest to run.
  • Account-based mindset. Youd rather spend time researching one account and writing something sharp than blast 200 contacts with the same template. You no longer have to pick between speed and relevancy thanks to AI.
  • Curiosity about industrial markets. You dont need to know the difference between a gas turbine and a wind turbine on day one. But you need to want to learn. Our buyers respect people who understand their world.
  • Market research. You are comfortable conducting market research without a lot of guidance required staying abreast of the trends and timely topics that will resonate with our audience.
  • AI fluency or appetite. You already use AI tools in your workflow or youre excited to dig in learn and work differently.
  • Discipline. Creative outbound only works if you also do the reps. Activity volume still matters. CRM hygiene still matters. Follow-up still matters. The creativity sits on top of consistency not instead of it.
