• Ensure Operational Excellence: Champion adherence to Neo’s operational frameworks across all mall locations, ensuring Store Managers are proficient in utilizing tools such as Google Suite, Slack, and company data dashboards.
• Data-Driven Performance Management: Leverage a strong understanding of data to analyze performance trends, interpret key metrics, and implement strategies to drive continuous improvement in sales and efficiency.
• Independent District Management: Proactively manage your own schedule to travel between mall locations within your district on a daily basis, prioritizing visits based on operational needs and training demands.
• Support Store Manager Success: Act as a key resource and support system for your Store Managers, providing guidance, coaching, and mentorship to ensure their individual and store-level success.

Who we are looking for:

• Sales Experience : Ideally 7+ years of direct-to-consumer sales experience (door-to-door, mobile sales, credit card or financial product sales preferred), with a significant portion of this experience in managing field sales teams.
• Management & Leadership Experience : 7+ years of proven management and leadership experience, with a track record of successfully managing teams of 10 or more individuals, including field sales teams.
• Training & Coaching Skills : A high level of training and coaching proficiency, with over 7+ years of experience developing and delivering effective sales training programs.
• Network of Sales Representatives : Possesses a strong, existing network of high-performing sales representatives suitable for representing Neo Financial.
• Performance & Business Acuity :
• Proven ability to drive profitability and manage performance across multiple locations.
• Strong understanding of and experience in managing Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC).
• Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
• A fundamental and strong understanding of data analysis and the ability to interpret data dashboards to drive decision-making.
• Self-motivated and highly organized with the ability to manage their own schedule and travel independently within the district.
