• Drive Revenue : Manage the full sales process, from outreach to negotiation and closing.
• Identify Opportunities : Research and target prospective sponsors, exhibitors, and partners that align with ODSC’s mission and events.
• Engage Prospects : Conduct outreach through email, LinkedIn, and virtual meetings to build meaningful relationships.
• Pitch with Purpose : Present sponsorship packages and partnership solutions tailored to client needs.
• Close Deals : Develop customized proposals, handle negotiations, and finalize contracts.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally : Work closely with the marketing, content, and events teams to align sales strategies and deliver value to partners.
• Maintain CRM Hygiene : Keep lead and opportunity data organized and up-to-date in our CRM system (e.g., HubSpot).
• Track Market Trends : Stay informed on AI, data science, and tech industry developments to speak with authority and relevance.
