  • Recruit, develop and retain top sales talent: hire for skill and culture fit, run onboarding programs, and create career progression paths to keep high performers engaged
  • Define value-based pricing and proposal strategies: support commercial negotiations, ensure solutions are positioned on value rather than price, and negotiate contracts that balance growth and margin
  • Champion continuous improvement: run deal reviews, post-mortems, and best-practice sharing; iterate on sales plays based on data and customer feedback
  • Ensure compliance and governance: enforce contract approval workflows, maintain accurate CRM data, and uphold legal and regulatory requirements in all sales activities
