Coach sales reps to improve performance through data analysis, conduct performance diagnostics, manage improvement plans, and foster a high-performance culture.
Experience in sales performance management, coaching, data analysis, and team leadership, with a focus on high-velocity inbound sales environments.
đ Role Summary The Sales Performance Lead is the person who makes sure our sales floor is sharp, hungry, and continuously improving. You: Turn data into insight, insight into action, and action into measurable lift. Know the difference between a rep who needs coaching and a rep who needs replacing -and youâre comfortable driving both. Are keeping the floor honest, focused, and fair. If you do this job well, every rep is either getting better fast⌠or being replaced with someone who will. đź What Youâll Do 1ď¸âŁ Coach Reps to Actually Get Better Youâre not a ârah-rahâ coach. Youâre a âhereâs the data, hereâs the behavior, hereâs the changeâ coach. You will: Run structured 1:1s and small-group coaching focused on close rate, deal velocity, and conversation quality. Listen to calls and review deal outcomes to spot the exact behaviors that are costing us sales. Build clear, measurable improvement plans and track each repâs progress weekly. 2ď¸âŁ Diagnose and Quantify Performance Gaps You donât guess. You measure. You will: Break down performance across the funnel â lead â connect âqualifyâ close â onboard -and pinpoint where each rep is leaking. Separate effort problems (low activity, slow follow-up) from skill problems (weak framing, poor discovery, bad closing). Recommend specific interventions or exits based on numbers. You donât get lost in spreadsheets â you use them to decide what happens on the floor tomorrow. 3ď¸âŁ Own the Performance Pipeline You will: Own the improvement lifecycle for low performers: diagnosis â coaching â PIP â replacement. Maintain a living roster that tags every rep as improving, stable, or at risk â and why. Ensure PIPs are data-driven, time-bound, and reviewed weekly with your manager. Support leadership in maintaining a healthy high-velocity environment while steadily raising the team average. 4ď¸âŁ Drive Motivation and Customer First Culture You know that culture and accountability arenât opposites â they amplify each other. You will: Help create a culture where reps feel coached, challenged, and valued â not coddled or ignored. Champion and reinforce a customer-first approach on every call. Minimize voluntary attrition by making top performers feel seen and low performers feel supported and held to a standard. We take performance seriously and want to build a floor where high performers never wonder why theyâre working so hard. We believe you can be high-accountability and deeply caring at the same time. Thatâs the bar here. 5ď¸âŁ Simplify Change and Protect Focus Weâre a startup. Change is constant. Your job is to make sure it doesnât become chaos. You will: Be the feedback loop from the floor back to leadership â telling us whatâs working, whatâs breaking, and what needs to be rolled back. đ§ Key Competencies Performance Management Work with your manager to define what âgoodâ looks like, build scorecards, and keep everyone honest to the numbers. Team Leadership & Coaching Youâve actually moved reps from âstrugglingâ to âcrushing itâ through targeted coaching, not generic advice. Data-Driven Sales Analysis Youâre comfortable in metrics, trends, and root-cause analysis. SQL is a strong plus â or a strong desire to learn it quickly. đ Who Thrives in This Role This role is for you if you: Love high-velocity, inbound sales environments. Are allergic to âaverageâ and deeply believe most reps can get better â with the right pressure and support. Are just as comfortable in a coaching session as you are in a dashboard Can say hard things kindly, and hold the line when standards slip. This role is not for you if you: Feel uncomfortable pushing people on performance. Want to live only in strategy docs and avoid the messy reality of calls and coaching. Prefer âeveryone tried their bestâ cultures over âwe win or we fix itâ cultures. đ° Compensation We structure this role to reward impact and continuous improvement. Base salary: USD $1,800â$2,000 per month, depending on experience and fit. Performance bonus: Ability to earn an additional USD $1,333 per month in bonuses tied to clear, data-driven performance goals. If you want to own the health of a fast-growing sales floor - from the numbers to the people behind them - and help build a team where performance, fairness, and growth all matter, this is your seat.
