You'll meet with clients, conduct discovery, assess site conditions, take measurements, identify basic equipment and installation needs, and clearly document project requirements. The Sales Executive will also manage leads and pipeline activity, maintain accurate CRM records, follow up consistently, and work toward sales goals while ensuring opportunities are properly scoped and handed off to our operations team.
