The role
What you will take ownership of.
Responsibilities
- Look for leads in web, mobile, CRM, cloud, and AI work. Separate the ones that can buy from the ones that cannot.
- Take the first call. Write down the problem, what is in the way, whether there is budget, and when they need to decide.
- Send leadership and delivery a short brief before a proposal starts.
- Keep follow-ups and meetings moving, and update the CRM the same day.
- Write and speak for AonHive on email and on those early calls.

- Pass on what buyers say about price and about other vendors.
- Join a reference call only after delivery has the client's OK.
What helps you succeed

- You can explain, in a few lines, what the client is actually buying.
