  • Maintain government reporting and compliance requirements, including GSA reporting, IFF payments, eSRS and SAM.gov requirements, and support GSA renewals in coordination with external partners.
  • Monitor government bid opportunities, including InstaQuote, and support relationship development with WOSB and SDVOSB accounts.
  • Maintain accurate sales and product data across CRM systems, dashboards, product files, item setup, retired products, forecasts, leads, and other reporting tools.
  • Facilitate webinars and virtual training sessions for key customers and end users to support product knowledge and sales effectiveness.
  • Identify opportunities to improve sales processes, reporting, and workflows while providing additional support across bids, lead processing, tradeshow follow-up, and other evolving business needs.
  • Occasional travel is required to support trade shows, vendor events, and field visits alongside sales team members and customers.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
