- Translate market insights into actionable outreach campaigns
- Partner with Business Development leadership to prioritize high-value targets and refine outreach strategy
Collaboration

- Align with marketing on campaign messaging, content usage, and lead follow up
- Contribute to broader Business Development initiatives with market insight and prospect feedback
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Performance for the Inside Sales Representative will be measured against the following activity and outcome metrics:
- Weekly outbound activity volume (calls, emails, LinkedIn touches)
- Consistent prospecting activity and outreach execution over time, not short-term spikes in activity
- Qualified opportunities (SQLs) generated
- Creation of qualified pipeline opportunities, attributed to Inside Sales
- Strong conversion rates from outreach → meeting → opportunity
- High-quality meetings with relevant MedTech decision-makers
- CRM accuracy and activity tracking
