• Experience developing and running outbound sales campaigns and prospecting programs

Success is measured through team output, lead conversion, and pipeline health. This split is not expected to change materially between Year 1 and Year 2, and the scope may grow over time (for example, to include oversight of showroom operations).

• Training on the company's proprietary CRM, product line, and internal systems is provided
• As a newly created role, the scope will be shaped around the strength of the person hired
