• Maintain an organized pipeline of prospects, estimates, follow-ups, and awarded projects.
• Learn the client's trades, services, terminology, and project processes.
• Represent the company professionally while building trust with customers and industry partners.
• Participate in training and apply proven business-development techniques provided by company leadership.
