  • Creative and solutions-oriented, with a willingness to experiment with new approaches and learn from what works.

  • Resilient and persistent when navigating unanswered outreach, objections, or setbacks.

  • Data-driven and organized, with the ability to independently prioritize where to focus time and effort.
