• Program Proposals & Content Development: EBPs submit Program Briefs to GET for approval and consideration as potential global programs. Upon approval, the EBP provides the content team with a detailed framework to guide content creation, ensuring it meets regional and segment-specific requirements and resonates with the intended audience.
• Sales and Business Acumen: EBPs are expected to maintain deep knowledge of products, use cases, MEDDPICCC, deal progression, and Customer Engagement Models (CEM).
