• Experience building or managing sales reporting, dashboards, and performance metrics.
• Comfortable testing new strategies and adjusting staffing, scheduling, and outreach based on performance data.
• Experience with CRM, sales technology, reporting platforms, and phone systems.
• Experience leveraging AI, automation, texting, email, or other digital outreach tools to improve sales performance is strongly preferred.
