You will help ensure handoffs are clean and Account Executives are set up for success. Platform fluency: Build enough fluency in the Pendo platform to speak credibly with prospective customers. You will learn how to communicate why the product matters and the value customers gain from it. CRM hygiene: Log activity accurately in Salesforce and use data to track your performance against weekly, monthly, and quarterly goals. You will treat CRM accuracy as a core part of running a disciplined sales process.
