Every day is different, but here is an overview of what you will be required to do:

• Perform against a financial target every quarter for your Named Partners
• Account Management via video, phone and email in two key areas:

Maintain and develop Named Partners. Identify competitive Partners to onboard and position Poly’s portfolio.
