2. Pipeline & Data-Driven Sales Management
- Pipeline Execution: Maintain strict deal tracking across all accounts, including clear next steps, assigned owners, due dates, quote follow-ups, and reliable revenue forecasts.
- Data-Driven Selling: Analyze purchasing history, product mix, account purchasing trends, and lost-sales data to focus daily outreach on the highest-yield opportunities.
- Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate closely with Field Sales, VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) Technicians, Sales Support, and Operations teams while remaining fully accountable for portfolio revenue growth.
