Key Responsibilities
- Research and shortlist potential buyer companies (importers, distributors, food manufacturers, and spice traders) in target countries using platforms like Amazon (local sites), Alibaba, Europages, Kompass, Yellow Pages and other directories.
- Identify the right decision-makers at those companies (Procurement / Purchasing / Import / Sourcing / Supply Chain / Owners) using LinkedIn and Google search.
- Use AI tools (such as ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini or similar) to speed up company research, translate search terms, improve outreach messages, and organise lead data—while always double‑checking final information for accuracy.
- Extract and verify contact details (company website, work email, direct phone/board line, address) using email‑finding tools and manual email‑guessing methods; update everything neatly in Google Sheets/CRM.
- Execute a daily multi‑channel outreach plan:
- Send LinkedIn connection requests and DMs to decision‑makers
- Send personalised cold emails (with the help of AI writing tools where useful)
- Submit enquiries via company website contact forms
- Send WhatsApp messages (where appropriate)
- Make follow‑up and qualification calls as per company scripts
- Maintain accurate records of all outreach (who was contacted, via which channel, date, and response) and keep lead sheets updated in real time.
- Share daily and weekly reports on new companies added, verified contacts, messages sent, responses received, and meetings or sample requests generated.
- Coordinate with the founder/senior team to hand over warm leads, schedule discovery calls, and share product catalogues and basic commercial details.
- Follow Ethivue Global’s playbooks, SOPs and quality standards for data accuracy, professional communication and buyer handling
