  • Use AI-assisted research and account intelligence tools (e.g., ZoomInfo, Clay, 6sense, or similar) to build hyper-targeted prospect lists and uncover relevant triggers before outreach
  • Become proficient in Cleo’s modern sales tech stack: sales engagement and nurturing platforms, AI-powered buying intent tools, and account-based orchestration platforms
  • Be part of one of the best on-the-job SaaS sales training programs in the industry, including hands-on enablement on how to sell Cleo’s AI-driven integration platform
