Head of sales/ Team leader to $4000

Sales Team Lead / Head of sales

We’re the #1 lead-gen marketplace in the U.S. We move fast, measure everything, and expect our Sales Lead to be tough, numbers-obsessed, and systematic. Your job: build a predictable, repeatable inside-sales engine that hits targets without “happy ears”.

Mission

Own the outbound + inbound conversion machine end-to-end: define ICP, sharpen messaging, install cadences, enforce CRM hygiene, coach reps hard, and turn weekly activity into forecastable revenue.

What You’ll Own

• ICP & Segmentation: Define the narrowest winning niches (by GEO, line of business, agency size, buying triggers)
• Pipeline Creation: Build predictable Seeds / Nets / Spears motion (customer referrals, content/partners, targeted outbound).
• Playbooks & Cadence: Scripts, objection library, email/LI/phone sequences, discovery frameworks, qualification (e.g., MEDDPICC/BANT).
• Funnel Instrumentation: Stage definitions, entry/exit criteria, conversion math, 3–4× pipeline coverage, forecast hygiene.
• Coaching System: Weekly 1:1s, call reviews (≥2 per rep/week), role-plays, scorecards, and performance plans where needed.
• Revenue Integrity: No sandbagging, no wish-casting—forecast accuracy ±10%.
• Cross-Functional: Tight loops with Growth/Marketing, Supply, and Ops to align lead quality, routing, and SLAs.
• Compliance: Sales behaviors aligned with TCPA/DNC and consent workflows.
  
   

What You’ll Do (Day-to-day)

• Run a crisp operating rhythm: Daily standups → Weekly pipeline review → Monthly QBR.
• Manage a small, sharp team (SDRs/BDRs → AEs); specialize roles where it increases throughput.
• Enforce CRM truth: 100% activity logging, next steps, close dates, probabilities, and exit criteria per stage.
• Partner with Marketing on lead SLAs, MQL→SQL definitions, and feedback loops to improve targeting and creative.
• Build the sales content stack: talk tracks, one-pagers, ROI math, case studies.
• Report leading indicators (inputs) and lagging outcomes (revenue) with driver trees.
