What a sales manager should own

  • Run forecast, pipeline, call-review, and coaching rhythms.
  • Use scorecards without reducing management to dashboard watching.
  • Diagnose lead quality, show rate, close rate, and fulfillment feedback together.
  • Recruit, onboard, coach, and make clear performance decisions.

What the screening should verify

  • Evidence of teams managed, not just individual sales performance.
  • Examples of coaching that changed behavior and results.
  • How the manager handles weak data, missed targets, and founder conflict.
  • Compensation alignment, authority, team size, and operating cadence.

Recruit your next sales manager

The opportunity presented to candidates should match the job they actually enter: same compensation logic, lead conditions, responsibilities, support, and expectations.
