Sales Operation Intern
Autonomous
Mentored by the Sales Lead Mia Lancaster — learned how to structure cold outreach, read prospect signals, and prioritize accounts
Looked up prospect backgrounds before sales calls from LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and company websites so reps didn't go in cold
Kept HubSpot updated for 3 account executives on moving deals between stages, and flagging contacts with missing info
Wrote and send outreach emails using prospect research
Sat in on competitor demos and took notes on pricing, features, and objections so the team had something to reference in calls

References
Alex prepped 47 call briefs in his first month. Our reps stopped doing their own research entirely — his briefs were that thorough.

He noticed a deal going cold on day 8 and drafted a re-engagement email before anyone asked. That deal ended up closing.
