Usama Iftikhar
@usamaiftikhar
Business Development Manager specializing in enterprise B2B revenue growth, lead generation, and CRM-driven pipeline optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-oriented Business Development Manager with nearly 7 years of experience driving revenue growth, securing key enterprise accounts, and optimizing outbound and inbound sales strategies. I focus on turning market insights into execution—through strategic planning, targeted prospecting, and measurable performance KPIs.
At Axelliant, I conducted in-depth market research to identify and target high-potential enterprise clients, then launched multichannel marketing campaigns tailored to buyer personas. I leverage advanced lead generation platforms (Apollo.io, Snovio, ZoomInfo) and implement demand generation strategies, while optimizing CRM workflows in HubSpot. I also secured key accounts, generating $1M+ in ARR last year, and built data-driven sales reporting tools and dashboards for continuous improvement.
Previously at Joblogic, I led UK enterprise GTM efforts, acquired major accounts (including Jaguar Land Rover and Bupa Group), and customized CRM systems (Zoho, HubSpot) while training teams on adoption. I’ve also built pipeline rigor as a Sales Development Representative—supporting AEs with qualification frameworks, maintaining high-quality CRM data, and using email automation tools (Smartlead, Instantly.ai) to scale lead funnels with strong alignment to sales outcomes.
