Hi, This role aligns closely with the outreach, SDR, and partnership workflows I’ve recently supported for UK-based Ti Thermal Imaging and SnapCor. My experience includes: |- LinkedIn outreach & SDR workflows |- ICP targeting and prospect research |- HubSpot CRM management and follow-up automation |- Appointment setting & relationship nurturing |- Partnership outreach and pipeline tracking |- Business development coordination across UK/UAE markets I’m comfortable with: |- outreach to senior decision-makers |- structured follow-ups |- sponsorship/partnership conversations |- CRM tracking and reporting |- coordinating meetings and external communication |- working independently in lean, fast-moving environments Tools used: |- LinkedIn Sales Navigator |- Apollo |- HubSpot |- Lemlist |- Google Sheets/CRM tracking systems My outreach approach is relationship-focused and personalized rather than spammy mass messaging.

The hospitality, investment, and partnership-focused environment genuinely interests me because long-term relationships and communication style matter heavily there. The US East Coast overlap works well for me, and I’m comfortable starting with the 2-week trial period. Vinod

Hi There, My name is Jasmine, and if all goes well — I’d love to be your next Business Development & Virtual Support Specialist. I noticed you're looking for someone who can support outreach, partnership development, relationship building, and operational coordination, and I’ve handled similar virtual support, lead generation, communication, and administrative tasks requiring organization and strong attention to detail. In the last 1 year, I’ve worked with businesses doing outreach support, appointment coordination, admin management, and workflow organization, and I’m confident I can help keep sponsorship outreach, follow-ups, pipeline tracking, and operational tasks running smoothly. I’m familiar with Google Workspace, CRM workflows, LinkedIn outreach, spreadsheets, and calendar coordination. For example, I recently supported structured communication and organization tasks with strong attention to detail, ensuring follow-ups, records, and coordination remained organized and on track. I’m comfortable working independently, managing priorities, and maintaining professional communication with stakeholders. I’d be happy to discuss more details about your workflow and how I can support your team. All the best, Jasmine P.S. Just curious — are you currently using a specific CRM or outreach tracking platform for sponsorship management?
