Overview AIAI vision that saves manufacturers millions by eliminating defects
• Identify and engage manufacturing prospects across the United States: automotive suppliers, electronics manufacturers, industrial OEMs, food & beverage manufacturers, and other high-volume production environments. Use phone, email, LinkedIn, and creative outbound strategies. • Map the decision-makers. For each target: find the Quality/Engineering owner (Quality Manager, Manufacturing Engineer, Operations Lead), locate them on LinkedIn, craft tailored outreach based on inspection challenges we've solved for similar companies. • Lead with curiosity. Uncover the real blocker: Is it cost? Downtime? False positives in current systems? Get specific. Understand why inspection is hard for them. • Qualify ruthlessly. Ask good questions. Think critically about whether an opportunity is real. We measure you on quality of qualification, not activity. Bad meetings hurt the team. Good ones compound. • Partner with Vision Sales Engineers. When you've identified a genuine use case, hand off clean, actionable insights. Then stay in the loop to learn what worked and what didn't. • Keep HubSpot clean. Consistent data, clear activity logs, detailed notes. Your future self will thank you. • Continuously refine. Test messaging. Track what resonates. Share learnings with the team. We iterate fast.
• Establish an extensive pipeline of sales opportunities, manage the development of the pipeline and accurately forecast sales to senior management. • Develop new sales strategy and identify high value prospects. • Present large scale technical products and innovative solutions to prospects at C-level. • Directly identify and develop new sales partnerships programs with large merchants with strong presence across LATAM. • International mindset and ability to coordinate cross countries projects and intercepting new opportunities from partners and industry regulatory changes. • Strong pipeline management via SalesForce to ensure accurate forecast of performance and deliver consistent results among Tier1 prospects
