Working for the VP of Sales, we helped prove out the concept that Dyn should have a dedicated prospecting team. We helped Dyn turn into an enterprise B2B powerhouse focusing on coming up with cool ways to get prospects to talk with the sale teams. Using cold emailing, cold calling, marketing tactics, social selling, and even some clever content marketing, our job was to fill up the pipeline of the sales team doing account based selling. We helped figure out how to sell Dyn's enterprise offerings, how to present value props, and how to fill up the CRM with the best potential enterprise customers. Going from a sales team of 2 reps to 10, we helped keep Account Reps busy with qualified sales opportunities, as well as managing them up to ensure customers were being helped.
