On the CRM side, you'll enter and update lead information, contact details, and interaction history, and help keep every customer record accurate, complete, and consistent. You'll also help refine our CRM processes and data fields, and generate reports that track lead conversion rates, activity metrics, and pipeline status for the sales team.
