Accountabilities: Review and qualify incoming leads generated by the sourcing team, conducting in-depth research into prospects' business portfolios, freight volumes, customer relationships, market expertise, current affiliations, commission structures, and growth potential.

Execute consistent, multi-channel outreach strategies through phone calls, emails, text messages, LinkedIn, and voicemail to establish contact with prospective freight agents. Re-engage inactive, previously unsuccessful, or unresponsive prospects through structured follow-up campaigns and relationship-building initiatives. Lead introductory calls to present the agent program, explaining its commission structure, technology platform, operational support, accounting services, carrier network, insurance coverage, credit and claims management, and payment solutions. Conduct structured discovery conversations to understand prospects' current business performance, revenue, profit margins, customer portfolios, growth ambitions, contractual obligations, and reasons for considering a change. Address initial objections confidently, provide relevant information, and involve recruitment specialists or subject-matter experts when additional support is required. Document prospect interactions, qualification assessments, and pipeline updates accurately within Salesforce, ensuring compliance with established recruitment standards. Transfer qualified opportunities to Agent Recruiters through detailed written summaries and scheduled follow-up steps, maintaining engagement to ensure a seamless transition. Independently manage and close qualified opportunities when authorized by the Director and in accordance with the appropriate certification level. Develop and maintain an independent prospect pipeline through networking, referrals, professional relationships, and industry connections. Monitor pipeline activity, maintain accurate forecasts, and ensure all opportunities have clearly documented next steps. Share feedback on lead quality, objections, and prospect disqualification patterns with sourcing and marketing teams to continuously improve targeting and outreach strategies. Represent the organization at relevant career fairs, conferences, and industry networking events. Collaborate with agent success and shared services teams to support smooth onboarding experiences for newly recruited agents.

Strong prospecting, negotiation, objection-handling, and qualification skills, with the ability to identify promising opportunities and make sound commercial decisions. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to engage confidently with experienced freight brokers and industry professionals.
