• Carry a personal book of strategic deals and join prospect calls to support deal strategy, objection handling and closing.
• Partner with the SVP of Revenue on shared pipeline, handoffs, and education across inbound and outbound.
• Lead the sales team day-to-day. Manage seller activity, follow-up, and accountability through BELAY’s tech stack (Salesforce, Outreach, Gong). Hold sellers to clear standards for outreach volume, pipeline creation, and conversion.
• Run weekly pipeline and funnel reviews. Inspect deal health, remove roadblocks, and advance opportunities. Keep the forecast accurate and on track to monthly and quarterly revenue targets.
• Strengthen how the team sells. Coach sellers on deal strategy, objection handling, and closing through ride-alongs, Gong call reviews, and joining prospect calls. Make sure messaging stays consistent with Marketing and with the inbound team led by the SVP of Revenue.
