What is a typical day like?

Each day is different; however the aim remains the same – win business for First Derivatives. In doing so we firstly research decision makers in the relevant target market – whether that be Finance, Manufacturing, Automotive, Telco, Utilities and beyond. We prospect new clients by reaching out via outbound sales calls, emails & LinkedIn introducing First Derivatives and our relevant services with the aim of organise a further deep-dive involving sales management. Building relationships with these prospects is essential in ensuring meetings develop to next steps – we continue to maintain dialogue but sending collateral, supporting proposals and organising follow up meetings. This helps us maintain a strong pipeline of leads, potential opportunities and revenue. We have weekly checkpoints with senior management to ensure all market intelligence is passed on and help drive the First Derivatives business strategy. Overall a typical day is challenging yet rewarding.
