- Partner with Marketing on targeted outreach (calls, email, sampling, trade show follow-up) to generate leads and convert them.
- Track funnel metrics (new accounts opened, conversion rate, first order to reorder) and use the data to shift where your time and rep effort go.
- Lead, coach, and develop our network of independent sales reps.
- Manage, coach, and develop our Marketing Support team member.
- Forecast sales, manage channel programs and pricing, and report results to leadership.
