The Sales Manager will recruit, train, coach, and manage a pod of up to seven or eight sales representatives. The primary objective is to build the team to a minimum annual revenue baseline of $20 million.

This is not a management-only position. The Sales Manager will actively support prospecting, customer meetings, quoting, proposal reviews, negotiations, and closing.

The successful candidate must be comfortable building a team from the ground up, managing daily activity, developing new salespeople, and holding representatives accountable to clear performance standards.

• Lead a structured daily sales meeting with coaching and role-play

• Conduct weekly one-on-one meetings with every representative
• Monitor daily activity, pipeline, proposals, revenue, and closing performance
• Ensure representatives consistently meet outbound prospecting standards
• Help representatives identify and qualify industrial project opportunities
• Join decision-maker meetings, proposal reviews, and closing calls
• Support representatives in moving deals toward a clear yes or no
• Ensure complete project information is collected for quoting
• Confirm quote requests are properly submitted and assigned
• Follow up internally to ensure quotes are completed on time
• Review proposals for scope, pricing, assumptions, and exclusions
• Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM reporting
• Make timely keep, coach, or release decisions
• Continuously recruit new representatives to maintain a full and productive team
• Identify and develop future sales leaders for additional MTLI sales pods

Representative Ramp Expectations

Sales representatives will begin under a commission-only probationary structure.

• Maintain the required outbound activity
