Sr. Manager, Sales
MISSION
Our sales team drives the entire company forward by interacting with our customers and showing them how to take the hassle out of the swag process. We are a tight-knit, high-energy crew that values being a great team, achieving the extraordinary, and changing lives. There is a strong emphasis on process implementation and on-going training for our team. Reporting to the Head of Sales, you will be leading a team of both junior and senior Account Executives with varying levels of sales experience.
Our current sales team is heavily reliant on inbound marketing efforts and we are looking for someone to standardize the sales process while working to help create our outbound sales motion.
It’s the perfect opportunity for someone who has both sales and sales operations experience and understands the importance of both roles. This person will be responsible for creating cadences around retention, sales enablement, customer success and ensuring growth within accounts while scaling our existing sales team to deal with an influx of leads and accounts.
As our technology evolves, you will help define the customer experience, sales onboarding, and follow-up/engagement campaigns to help drive more sales on our platform, while training and measuring the team on process and sales efficiency. Our goal is to help as many customers transact completely through the platform as possible, with a low-touch sales experience.
Success in the role will encompass scaling the sales team, building out automation and processes to engage with customers efficiently and effectively, decreased speed to close, increase in LTV of accounts, and creating a tight feedback loop for the product development team in order to continually improve the user experience on our self-serve platform.
