What You’ll Do Fill the Calendar With Qualified Appointments Generate new opportunities through cold calling, emailing, drop ins, networking, referrals, and strategic outreach. Your primary goal is to book qualified meetings for the local sales and operations team and keep the pipeline moving. Qualify Fast and Set Clean Meetings Identify the decision maker, confirm the facility type and needs, and understand urgency before booking. Set expectations clearly so the team on the ground walks into real opportunities, not courtesy meetings. Own Follow Up and Rebooking Run a tight cadence and stay on top of every lead. Reschedule missed meetings quickly, re engage cold prospects, and keep accounts warm until they are ready to meet.

Consistent activity and coverage matter more than waiting on inbound.

This includes walking into facilities, meeting decision makers, and setting appointments in real time to accelerate market traction.
