AV Account Manager
The AV Account Manager will also be responsible for opportunity management, reporting to the SVP of Sales. He/she is expected to independently and actively seek new clients. While referrals are common, Account Managers are responsible for "filling the sales funnel" on their own and are held accountable for their own prospecting and sales efforts.

Primary functions of the AV Account Manager include but are not limited to:
- Pursue audio visual integration business opportunities for AVX within enterprise corporate space, as well as other potential growth markets. This is accomplished through cold or referred sales calls and meetings, active networking and inquiry, etc.
