· Track daily/weekly outreach metrics and consistently meet or exceed performance targets (calls, connects, qualified leads).
· Represent the company professionally and clearly communicate our recycling certifications and service offerings.
· Work on-site at our Hayward, CA office; full-time in-office presence required.
· Perform other lead-generation or sales support tasks as assigned.
