Design, launch and test outreach experiments, clearly defining the target audience, hypothesis, messaging, channel, expected outcome, measurement criteria, and learning from each experiment.
Track and analyze outreach and lead-generation performance across channels, identifying what is working, what is not, and where resources should be reallocated.
Continuously optimize messaging, targeting, channels, automation and campaign processes based on actual response, conversion and acquisition data.
Identify new industries and verticals for thob to pursue, validate their commercial potential, and develop practical go-to-market approaches for promising opportunities.
Build and continuously improve thob's outreach and lead-generation playbook, documenting repeatable strategies, successful experiments, tools, processes, messaging frameworks, and learnings for the Sales Interns and Business Development Consultant to execute.
Work closely with the Sales Interns to translate strategy into practical execution, observe real-world feedback, and refine the strategy based on field results.
