• Develop a working knowledge of each prospect's business — their goals, key decision-makers, competitive context, and industry dynamics

• Use CRM tools to research and map customer relationships before engaging

Business Acumen

• Support the development of business cases for change, gathering data and documenting components under guidance from senior colleagues

• Begin to assess the cost, benefit, and risk of potential solutions

• Build awareness of how your work fits into the broader organization and its financial impact

Product & Market Knowledge
