  • Performance Monitoring
    • Define and track key performance indicators for individuals, teams, and segments in partnership with sales leadership.
    • Provide regular performance reporting and commentary that helps leaders understand what is working, what is at risk, and where to focus.
    • Help ensure that goals, metrics, and reporting are aligned, so everyone is working from the same picture.
  • Sales Enablement and Deal Support
    • Equip the sales organization with the training, resources, and guidance needed to improve productivity and deal quality.
    • Support structured approaches to pricing, contract terms, and approvals through a clear deal support process.
    • Partner on new hire onboarding and ongoing training related to sales process, tools, and field execution.
  • Cross Functional Collaboration

    • Represent the needs of the sales organization in cross-functional projects that affect how we serve and grow our customers.
