* Organised, reliable, and eager to learn.
* Excellent soft skills — able to work well with different teams, communicate clearly, and build positive working relationships.
* Comfortable with spreadsheets, email, and online tools.
* Clear written and verbal communication skills.
* Preferred: Completed or working towards HubSpot Sales Software Certification (free online).

* Practical experience in multiple areas of B2B marketing, including digital advertising, content marketing, social media engagement, email marketing, event/tradeshow preparation, and campaign performance reporting.
* Hands-on involvement in sales prospecting, learning to identify high-quality opportunities and understanding what makes a good prospect in different industries.
* Exposure to sales blueprinting, sales methodology, and structured training that will build a strong foundation for any future commercial role.
