• •Engage decision-makers (Heads of eCommerce, Digital, Growth, CX, and Founders) via cold calls, emails, and LinkedIn outreach with sharp, use-case-led messaging.
• •Communicate Manifest AI's value proposition clearly: AI-powered product discovery, conversational commerce, pre- and post-purchase support automation, and conversion optimization.
• •Qualify leads using frameworks like BANT / MEDDIC or equivalent.
• •Run discovery-oriented first conversations and hand off qualified opportunities to Account Executives (AEs) to drive deal progression.
• •Maintain accurate data and activity tracking in CRM tools.
• •Handle both inbound and outbound leads with equal ownership.
• •Consistently meet or exceed pipeline generation targets.

• •Excellent communication skills — verbal and written.
• •Familiarity with tools like Apollo, Lusha, HubSpot, Outplay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
• •High ownership, resilience, and ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
