- Monitor key metrics (e.g., pipeline health, conversion rates, average deal size) and adjust tactics to maintain strong sales performance.
Pipeline Management
- Establish and maintain a rigorous pipeline management process, ensuring consistent and accurate forecasting.
- Collaborate with SDRs to optimize lead generation strategies and engage high-quality prospects.

Closing Deals
- Act as a closer for high-value or strategic deals when necessary, leveraging strong negotiation and relationship-building skills.
- Work closely with Account Executives to refine their closing techniques and improve their success rates.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Marketing to align on demand generation campaigns, lead quality, and sales enablement materials.
- Collaborate with Customer Success to ensure seamless onboarding and retention of new customers.
