* Actively prospecting and winning new business, targeting sign & display fabricators, printers, distributors, and ACM panel end-users.
* Building and maintaining a well-qualified sales pipeline, tracked accurately in the CRM system from first contact through to close.
* Meeting and exceeding revenue and growth targets on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.
