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.
