StrikeIron continues to shift our sales culture to more of an outbound, market-oriented approach. The second key responsibility of the Sales Analyst will be to execute on highly targeted outbound campaigns. We look to extend our success on customer segmentation to create unique campaigns that are catered to specific industries, customer personas, and use cases for our solution. The Sales Analyst will leverage the tools (scripts, case studies, whitepapers, ROI calculators, etc) to maximize the conversion of prospects into opportunities.
