* Uncover business development opportunities within the existing client base to improve profitability and share of wallet.

* Work closely with internal departments including Inside Sales and Customer Services to ensure a seamless customer experience.
* Regularly update and maintain activity reports, pipeline forecasts, and client records in the company CRM system.
