The position
You are responsible for the active follow-up of prospects that come to the organization. You will explore these leads, evaluate their request for collaboration and reply promptly. You do follow-up the networking coming from the social media channels of the company. You are a real relationship builder.
You build and maintain relationships with customers and prospects. You are able to keep a dialogue with people from different backgrounds and positions. You make appointments with these people; you define their specific needs and translate them into convincing proposals.
You are continuously aware of trends, competitors and international environmental policies related to energy to identify improvements and to recommend new services. You are also responsible for contacting international agencies and seek funding mechanisms.
You work closely with and report to the Sales Director. Together with the team, you propose and adjust the sales strategy with input from the market, in agreement with senior management.
Your Profile:
